"The new Battlestar Galactica is not a bad show but they should of called it something else." That is the feeling from the crew behind the original series. Most fans agree that the new Galactica is a decent show but it completely disregards what the original show from the 70's had accomplished. But wait... there's hope.

For years there has been talk of Glen Larson making a feature film of Battlestar Galactica featuring the original cast. You may ask how that's possible considering that there is a new TV series. It's actually quite simple, Glen Larson owns the theatrical rights to Battlestar Galactica.

Last night at the Buck Rogers DVD release event Larson told the IESB that there is quite a bit of interest in making a new film featuring the original cast. He knows that both Dirk Benedict and Richard Hatch are willing participants in the venture. He does not know what storyline they will follow but that they plan to be faithful to the original series and to the fans. "We have some pretty good ideas and it will be a great journey to bring BSG back," Larson said.

Regarding other projects in the works such as Knight Rider, Magnum P.I. and Fall Guy, he explained that they still don't know what direction they will take and that they don't have any scripts quite yet. He does promise that in the very near future he will have some Knight Rider news to share with us all.

Stay tuned to the IESB for future updates!
