According to website HitFix, the X-Men and Superman Returns helmer is being courted for the new big screen take on Glen A. Larson's science fiction property.
Universal announced in February that is was pursuing a new movie spearheaded by Larson. The project is not related to the recent TV series, which has spinoff show Caprica ready to launch on Syfy next year.
Singer was previously involved in an aborted Galactica TV series for Fox in 2001, but the big budget pilot was axed amid rising costs and concerns about the story - involving a sneak attack by aliens on Earth - evoking 9/11. Singer's original Galactica concept was to be a direct sequel to Larson's '70s series.
