‘Battlestar Galactica’ Showrunner Ronald D. Moore Developing ‘Wild Wild West’ Remake

The Movie God   |  @   |  

Before your head explodes, no, this is not about a remake of the 1999 Will Smith western movie…not quite. Though surely you were all so very excited about just the thought of such a thing.

No, this is about the man behind the fantastic Battlestar Galactica reboot, Ronald D. Moore, and a new project he’s working on. According to reports, Moore is in the early stages of developing a series based on the ’60s western television series, The Wild Wild West. It was this show which the ’99 movie was based on.

Work on this potential new series is still at the very earliest stages, so pitches to networks are still off in the distance. Knowing Moore, however, it should be exciting to see what he comes up with and networks will surely be itching with anticipation.

The show ran from 1965 to 1969 and starred Robert Conrad and Ross Martin as a pair of secret service agents who are reassigned to the wild west, where they used their advanced gadgets to get things done. It was originally pitched when TV westerns were starting to fade away and James Bond type spy properties were growing in popularity, so it only made sense to combine the two.

All that a side, all you need do is look at the old Battlestar Galactica and see what Moore did with that. For my money, it’s a safe bet that he could very well do the same here.
