Battlestar movie hinges on original creator

Whilst perusing the TVSquad Blog I came across some interesting BSG news:

According to the film site, IESB, the cast and crew of Battlestar Galactica would really like to do a movie. Only, it's not up to them. It's not even up to NBC/Universal. The permission for doing a movie must first come from the original series creator, Glen Larson. IESB says Larson hasn't been thrilled with the current adaptation of Battlestar Galactica, so getting his permission to make a movie might be really, really difficult. Apparently he has already made things slightly difficult for the current run of BSG. BSG producer David Eick mentions that he has "extended an olive branch" to Larson.

While the effects are much better in the new version of BSG, and it is less 'hammy', using bullets in weaponry on spacecraft???

mmm....I guess I'd also like to see a little more action and less 'days of our lives'...anyway, it is still a good show (only got to season 2 here in Aus, have to wait for the next dvd set...) and it owuld b nice to see it continue further in some format.

Even the new BSG's science is spotty, but it is entertaining. I really got tired of the old BSG when it first ran. Too campy , but the new BSG is anything but campy. It will be a shame to see it go, but it will go out in style!
