Terry Moore, wife of showrunner Ronald D. Moore, told fans at the official SciFi Channel Web site that despite what he said during a recent interview with AOL, Smith of "Clerks" and "Dogma" fame will not take the director's chair for "Battlestar Galactica."
"No he's not," Moore said in a post. "Scheduling conflict."
There has been no statement about the recent development on any of Smith's Web sites, or through any interview sources, but it does appear that Smith's dream come true was, in the end, just a dream.
Will the media be in an uproar?
"No, they probably won't," Moore said of SciFi Channel's publicity team having to counter this story. "Something like that only registers on message boards."
