Movie reboot of original BSG

Yeah, yeah. I'll bet I'm late to the party again, but this has been brought to my attention and I thought I'd share with those of you who are as far behind the times as I am. There even seems to be a director lined up.  So this could be real.

See the (less than delighted) article on the  Sc-Fi movie page.  The writer is not a fan of the original series, but who the hell cares.

So, a BSG reboot.   What do you all think of that?  And who shall we have playing the characters?  I've kept broadly to the ethnicity of the original, but feel free to lob in the actor you think would be best for the part, ethnicity irrelevant.  No Serena or Cassie, because I want the SLASH reboot, of course.  But sing out if you have candidates for those roles

POLL time!
