Looking into Bryan Singer's "Crystal Ball" And Making Some Predictions

1. The "Battlestar Galactica" movie Bryan Singer hasn't been working on for the past 10 months will quietly fade back into the backlog of "Hollywood Development Hell" projects just as it did in 2009 and 2001.

2. The "Munsters" television pilot Bryan Singer may or may not be working on right now will either get rejected by NBC-TV, or this pilot will quietly fade into nothingness without even a looksy from NBC-TV.

3. Bryan Singer has a bright future directing ice cream commercials for television.

4. Bryan Singer is also headed for directing sitcoms on the Disney Channel.

5.  If he hasn't done so already, Bryan Singer has left big movie directing behind on a theatrical level, for a permanent career switch to television, where he will direct all sorts of projects. Commercials, sitcoms, game shows, and movies of the week. Much of his work uncredited or credited under a pseudonym.

6. Though he isn't in the movie industry anymore, Bryan Singer will always receive an "Executive Consultant" credit on all future "X-Men" movie sequels.

7. Bryan Singer and Universal Studios will continue to make "Battlestar Galactica" movie announcements every two years with no intention of actually making this movie. Expect their next "Battlestar" movie announcement in late 2013. Probably before Halloween.

8. Bryan Singer will continue to have an informal partnership arrangement with Universal Studios where absolutely nothing gets done between the two of them.

9. After Bryan Singer gets bored with television, he will quietly retire within the next five years.

10. Bryan Singer will never reunite with Tom DeSanto for any reason.

"Battlestar Galactica is a Priority." So Said Bryan Singer 10 Months Ago

http://www.movieweb.com/news/battlestar-galactica-remake-is-a-priority-says-bryan-singer


And immediately after claiming a Battlestar movie was a priority (just one month later), Bryan Singer diverted his attention away from Battlestar to three simultaneous projects:

1. Six Billion Dollar Man
2. The Munsters
3. Star Trek

If the "Battlestar Galactica" property were owned by a psychologically normal corporation, and if this movie had been assigned to a film director who completes movies within the Hollywood standard of..."a normal amount of time" (two years)...instead of Bryan Singer's time frame of..."11 years and counting"...this movie would be further along right now after 10 months than just a first draft script fumbling through endless revisions.

Bryan Singer's "Battlestar update" from a couple of days ago really wasn't an update at all, because it was nothing more than a reiteration of this project being in the same "Development Hell" it always has been in during the past 11 years due to Universal Studios and Bryan Singer's endless apathy towards this project.

It doesn't take 10 months to write a script, and it doesn't take 11 years and counting to make a movie. Not only that, but after 10 months the Battlestar script still isn't finished. Wheelchair bound Stephen Hawking couldn't go any slower trying to complete the 50 yard dash.

This is the classic "Modus Operandi" of Universal Studios and Bryan Singer being in partnership together...Nothing gets done...absolutely nothing. It has been this way for the past 11 years with this Battlestar production, and it will go another 11 years after that...squared.

There is something else going on here as well. A change for the worst in Bryan Singer's work habits. Generally speaking, Bryan Singer circa 2012 announces movies he claims he wants to direct, and then immediately abandons them in order to go off and do smaller, much easier projects, such as The "Munsters" television pilot, and a web series for http://www.youtube.com. Quite frankly, some of the reasons why I suspect this Battlestar movie never gets made includes:

1. Bryan Singer has a short attention span.

2. His attention is easily diverted away from projects he initially announces.

3. He would love to complete many projects at once but lacks the motivation to begin 99% of them.

4. Bryan Singer is burned out on directing theatrical films, so he keeps abandoning them:

a. Battlestar Galactica
b. Logan's Run
c. Six Billion Dollar Man
d. X-Men: Last Stand

And some movies Bryan Singer is dropped from because he was taking too long during the pre-production phase...

e. Excalibur

Bryan Singer never "Officially Abandons" movies per se, he just endlessly procrastinates in getting movie projects going, for years and years on end. He finds easier, smaller projects to do (apparently to kill time) during the times when he should have been directing these movies.

Bryan Singer is like a kid in school always playing "hooky" from class when it comes to directing movies. He doesn't want to actually begin the pre-production process of making a movie, or show up on the set to begin directing. When kids play "hooky" from class, they go to the local shopping mall instead. When Bryan Singer plays "hooky" from directing movies, he goes over to the television industry and directs ice cream commercials, and the "Munsters" pilot.

Bryan Singer's press release from the other day stating that the "Battlestar" movie is still in the script phase after 10 months, confirmed indeed that Bryan Singer has been playing "hooky" from this "Battlestar" movie for the past 10 months. Just as he played "hooky" from directing this "Battlestar" movie in 2009 and 2001.

The One Constant in The Universe Will Always Be Universal Studios Infinite Stupidity Towards "Battlestar Galactica"

The Universal Studios "Infinite Stupidity Checklist" - The 2012 Edition


1. Ronald D. Moore's sham version of "Battlestar Galactica" infamously known as "GINO" was already proven to be a commercial / mass market flop of epic proportions from every conceivable standpoint, and nothing more than Ronald D. Moore's "Personal Art House Narcissism Project", yet Universal Studios (according to Bryan Singer) wants to merge this "Epic Flop" with the "1978 Battlestar Galactica" series for a big screen adventure, were this movie ever to be made by Universal Studios and Bryan Singer during the next 25 years.

2. One of the reasons why a "Battlestar Galactica" feature film fails to get made (11 years and counting from Bryan Singer's involvement alone) is that Universal Studios and Bryan Singer have no clue what to do with this property. Their collective "brilliant solution" is to consider Ronald D. Moore's sham take on the property as "Canon" with what transpired in "The 1978 Battlestar Galactica" series.

3. Universal Studios doesn't like to admit past mistakes, no matter how epic in scope those past failures are. Any rational and sane business people working in Hollywood (rational and sane business people never did work at Universal Studios) would logically conclude that it would not make good business sense to revisit Ronald D. Moore's sham take on "Battlestar Galactica", since from a strictly dollars and cents standpoint it was not (by any stretch of the imagination) a successful reboot of the property. It failed on the SyFy Channel, and its reruns failed on NBC-TV. And it failed artistically as well.

4. I don't know what Universal Studios, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer have found so massively difficult to comprehend intellectually, about simply doing the "Battlestar Galactica" property as it should have been done the first time around on ABC-TV but without the cheesy mistakes. Why these supposedly intelligent people (and very likely cerebrally deficient) have never been able to see what has been plainly there for all to see for decades, and logically conclude that there is enormous potential here to build a franchise effortlessly capable of competing with Star Wars and Star Trek:

a. A Battlestar fleet meets in deep space waiting to sign a peace treaty with the Cylon Empire.

b. The 12 Worlds these Battlestars represents are destroyed by a Cylon sneak attack.

3. Count Baltar, once a trusted member of the Council of 12, was responsible for tricking President Adar into trusting the Cylon gesture of peace.

4. This magnificent story revolves around the Adama family and their friends aboard the Battlestar Galactica.

5. The Adama family is a warm loving, and nurturing family towards one another and their friends without Ronald D. Moore's "Psychotic Art House Bullshit." Rape, violence for no reason etc.

6. There are "bad guy" aliens in this universe in addition to the Cylons. The Ovions, The Eastern Alliance, etc. There are "Good guy" aliens such as the amphibious race "The Hessaris", which the humans rescued from Cylon subjugation....touching off the "Cylon / Human" war.

Why is it so damn hard for Universal Studios and Bryan Singer to simply understand this and see this? It's so plain as day that it's literally in your face. Bryan Singer sure as hell can't wrap his feeble little mind around this. You can tell that by his most recent interview on the topic of Battlestar. Of course, not understanding Battlestar Galactica is the least of Bryan Singer's problems right now, as he can't get any of his recently announced projects off the ground, and he also can't get "Jack The Giant Killer" out of post-production...after the movie is already a year and a half late in reaching theaters...and the movie is going on four years in being in production.

If Universal Studios and Bryan Singer understood any of this, we would have had a Battlestar movie in theaters long before now.

7. Universal Studios has always had two cerebrally challenged states of mind when dealing with Battlestar Galactica.

a. Doing the wrong thing with Battlestar Galactica (Ronald D. Moore's crap.)

or

b. Not doing anything at all with Battlestar Galactica.

8. Universal Studios has brainwashed themselves into believing that Ronald D. Moore's sham version of Battlestar Galactica developed a vast, commercially viable audience worth pursuing in a major motion picture by merging "GINO" with the "1978 Battlestar Galactica" series, if I am interpretating Bryan Singer's statements correctly. Universal Studios of course forgets, that the bulk of Ronald D. Moore's miniscule audience were stealth marketers working for the stealth marketing firm "Abraham & Harrison", as well as corporate employees of Universal Studios and the SyFy Channel.

I suspect that Universal Studios will never let Ronald D. Moore's "GINO" series go because to do so would be to admit that they were wrong for having produced it in the first place (due to its mass market failure.)  And that is something Universal Studios will never do. So, if they were to to make a Battlestar motion picture, they would most certainly dump "GINO" on to the movie screen, merged with the 1978 series.

What is The Annual Income of Bryan Singer's "Bad Hat Harry Productions?"

It certainly couldn't be that much. "Bad Hat Harry Productions" is apparently Bryan Singer's television production company. It may have been making decent cash doing "House" on a seasonal basis, but "House" has been long since cancelled. And he'll get one directing fee and one directing fee only for directing the "Munsters" pilot.

If "Bad Hat Harry Productions" is a physical film studio / corporation occupying acres of land somewhere, it certainly couldn't be doing that well with television projects scant and far between. (It certainly wouldn't be making enough money to pay the property taxes on the land.) Not with Bryan Singer at the helm of this production company.

Bryan Singer certainly hasn't enabled "Bad Hat Harry Productions" to branch off into theatrical films (a massive source of income) because he keeps dropping out of (or is dropped from) movies he keeps announcing as the director:

1. Battlestar Galactica
2. Logan's Run
3. Excalibur
4. X-Men: Last Stand
5. Six Billion Dollar Man

Perhaps it's more likely that Bryan Singer's "Bad Hat Harry Productions" is an embryonic idea or mere moniker that Bryan Singer attaches to the rare projects he does manage to complete.

Does Bryan Singer Want to Revise His "Stuttering" Over The Battlestar Movie He Hasn't Been Working On For The Past 10 Months?

Maybe if Bryan Singer didn't begin juggling and contemplating "The Munsters", "The Six Billion Dollar Man", and "Star Trek" immediately after making this "Battlestar Galactica" announcement on October 21st, 2011....

...this "Battlestar" movie would be further along right now (after 10 months) than just a first draft script going through revisions 10 months later...with Bryan Singer downgrading the status of this movie to...

quote -"He hopes to direct it at some point." -unquote


Bryan Singer circa 2012 announces many projects, yet makes very little progress on 99% of them.

It's Going to Take Glen A. Larson And Bryan Singer So Long to Make a "Battlestar Galactica" Movie....

...That this is the physical condition the two of them would be in via old age by the time a "Battlestar Galactica" movie would reach the movie screens....

Universal Studios And Glen A. Larson Are in Court Together, Again?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/knight-rider-producer-glen-larson-lawsuit-universal-356300


Let me guess. Because Universal Studios and Glen A. Larson are at each other's throats (once again) in the courtroom, this is one of the reasons why Bryan Singer's "Galactica" movie announced on October 21st, 2011 hasn't made any progress during the past 10 months...

...of course, all other movies and television series produced at Universal Studios will proceed as scheduled despite Universal and Larson being in court.

Combine this with Bryan Singer's other "Battlestar Galactica" movie not making any progress in 2009, and his "Galactica" series for FOX Television not making any progress in 2001, and we have a pattern of pre-choreographed corporate behavior on the part of Universal Studios that goes infinitely beyond mere coincidence.
