Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 1264135" data-attributes="member: 8704">It's funny but Larson and Hatch were fueding over Galactica's future before this all started, Larson's ideas were not really liked, but he got credit from the community for doing a continuation story instead of a re-imagining (that's about it). I found some references to his story, it revolved around the Battlestar Pegasus finding earth and had the vipers becoming like the Veritech fighters from the Macross anime. If sounded pretty darn lame to me, but he had started pre-production work, he just couldn't get the movie rights. I've also heard rumors he is working on a new Knight Rider movie, I hope he can't get the rights to that either. I was just using him to point out that there were other ideas with a lot of backing out there. I'm not sure what happened between Richard Hatch and the woman at Sci Fi (whose name escapes me right now, it's the exec everybody always talks about) but he was the one who got his foot in the door, then Singer/DeSanto got it (and I think DeSanto wanted Hatch and Dirk Bennidict involved with his version too) but I never saw why he left the project (Singer left to do X2). Larson's project was completly separate from Universal and he was going to finance it as a independant film. edit: I was trying to find out more on the timeline bit here and it looks like the DeSanto/Singer project may have involved Glen Larson and was meant to be a Fox TV series. It also looks like the Sci Fi version may of been pushed because the show rights were about to revert back to Larson. Once again I could be mistaken as I have only been looking for background info for 2 days now and there is so much more than I thought out there, some of it contradictory.</blockquote>
