Battlestar Galactica fans still have something to look forward to. Director Francis Lawrence has confirmed the film adaptation of the 1978 cult classic science fiction series is still in the works.
Lawrence is currently out promoting his spy thriller Red Sparrow. In an interview with ComingSoon Lawrence confirmed that he is still working on the project and that he has a personal connection to the Battlestar Galactica franchise.
Lawrence said. ?I?m working on that with Lisa Joy, who is one of the creators of Westworld. The original series was actually one of the first sets that I ever went on. I remember being a kid and loving that show and they were filming near my house and my mom took me down there and I got to try on a Cylon helmet."
Lawrence went on to say that while his take on Battlestar Galactica will be his own, there will definitely be visual references to the original series, and Ronald D. Moore?s early 2000s reboot as well.
