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...

Well...I like the movie, I love the series, but I don't like the novels by Bill McKay.

Right now I can't imagine anyone other than James Spader and Kurt Russell / Michael Shanks and Richard Dean Anderson as Daniel and Jack, so I guess I'm curious but not overly enthusiastic about this development.

I'm curious as well, and hope we won't be dissapointed. At the moment I think any Stargate is good, as it could bring back life to the franchise. I really was so sad how it all ended, with so much anger and hate between fans and producers. I had hoped for it to be like Star Trek, with a new series every couple of years and lots of new characteres. Something even people who are not necessarily into sci-fi know about. Everyone knows Kirk and Spock, you know?

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.
