Wow, Stargate gets the reboot

[wraithfodder]

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...

Emmerich hates the TV-verse with a burning passion and has been very vocal about it. There is precisely zero chance of any of the TV characters being so much as referenced let alone appearing because as far as Emmerich is concerned the TV shows never happened.

As a fan all you can do is just look at the TV-verse and the movie-verse as two completely separate entities. Its the best way to preserve one's sanity.

I've read a new press article a day ago where it said that it was based on the TV series indeed and that they would work together. So that sounds a bit different. I was away at Fedcon though and didn't keep the link so I have no proof. But it was discussed when Richard, Michael and Amanda were on stage. The news was so new they hadn't heard about it yet.
