After revealing to the mag the other day that his take on Excalibur has been shelved Bryan Singer announced that he would be taking on a big screen version of Battlestar Galactica when he finished up Jack The Giant Killer. Fans of the show(s) will know that we have had two versions of the character Starbuck. In the original '70s series it was Dirk Benedict and in the hugely successful reboot Katee Sackhoff. So which version will Singer be going with?
“You want to know if Starbuck will be male or female, right?” he laughs. Yep. “Well, right now I haven’t made my mind up on that. But whatever way we go, I’m sure it will be complementary to the whole Battlestar Galactica mythology.”
Ok, well if it's faithful to the original mythology then that would be male right? I mean there are only two choices here! Though they obviously have a lot in common, both tv versions of
BSG are also very different. It will be interesting to see what yet another take can bring to the table. What do you guys think? Should the new Starbuck visit the ladies or gents?
