Yup, it's finally happening.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mgm-warner-bros-launching-stargate-708044 reports that Roland Emmerich, who directed and co-wrote the original film with Dean Devlin, will direct and Devlin will produce.
I get the feeling the reboot will be totally recast, skew younger. I'd love to see the SG-1/Atlantis folk in it, but am not holding out any hope....
But one can dream of cameos...

On the other hand, it'll be interesting to see what they actually do. I can't see watching it in the theater, but maybe DVD ... or just lurk on people's reactions and see what they think.

Date: 2014-05-30 11:10 pm (UTC)However, as an SG1-verse fan, I do not wish the series or its characters to be brought into it at all. I'm well aware of Emmerich and Devlin's opinion of the series and I think it would be deeply hypocritical of them to cash in on the love there is for those characters after reviling the show for so long. (I mean, you could even say these new films do that because if it weren't for the success of the shows, they probably wouldn't be getting the chance to do this.)

Date: 2014-06-04 06:06 pm (UTC)I'm even getting my figures out again now and doing photoshoots, and do a re-watch of the DVDs, I really haven't touched them in years while I discovered new fandoms (Doctor Who and Torchwood) but now I am back and it feels right. After we had Richard, Amanda and Michael together last weekend at Fedcon, I even managed to get a friend to watch it now. So far she likes it.
