Competing Developments
Concurrent with The Second Coming was Glen A. Larson's movie proposal. This would have revived BSG as a feature film, centering around the Battlestar Pegasus, set after its appearance in the TV show, and consistent with Galactica 1980.
The project that got the go ahead was the re-imagining of the original series by Ronald D. Moore, which was greenlit as a miniseries by the Sci Fi Channel.
Now, a new movie is being prepared, based on the 1978 TV series, but it is not a sequel to that series, and is set to be released in 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words competing and/or developments:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
