Ron Moore, of Battlestar Galactica fame, penned the first draft of the film’s screenplay, but Favreau is looking to remake it in his own image. I am sure more than a few BSG fans wish that he wouldn’t.

Then again, some trends never die. I'll wait patiently for news of a Magic Kingdom sequel, the exhilarating Epcot.
