LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Looking to develop its
own homegrown franchises, Tom Cruise's United Artists banner is
embarking on a space odyssey with Ronald D. Moore, the man
behind Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Gallactica."
The studio has signed Moore to create and write an original
sci-fi trilogy for the big screen.
His writing credits include the features "Star Trek:
Generations" and "Star Trek: First Contact" as well as episodes
of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Roswell" and "Carnivale."
He also received a story credit on Cruise's "Mission:
Impossible II."
United Artists, an MGM division that Cruise runs with
business partner Paula Wagner, released its first movie under
new management, the box office disappointment "Lions for
Lambs," last year. Its next release is Cruise's oft-delayed
World War II thriller "Valkyrie" in February 2009.
