"Battlestar Galactica" executive producer Ron Moore is working on a version of the 2001 Heath Ledger movie "A Knight’s Tale" for ABC, reports Deadline.com.

The film is a romance-adventure story that featured jousting tournaments set to popular rock songs. Ledger played a peasant pretending to be a knight.

The series is likely to remain close in concept to the movie, the story says. Moore is writing and executive producing. ABC has given the project a script commitment.
