Variety says that director Bryan Singer has dropped out of remaking Battlestar Galactica. Fox's feature film guys put the ol' kibosh on that by allegedly reportedly contending with the Fox TV people, for whom Singer was to do the pilot.

Singer's producer and partner Tom DeSanto said he hopes that the thing can still get made with a new director.
