    Some vague new info on this..

    http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/406469-independence-day-2-scribes-board-stargate-reboot

    For me while i hate them ignoring the tv shows.. i guess any new stargate is good.
    “These new films will build upon the creativity and popularity of the first film,” teased Silverman last year, “while delivering an original film-going experience for fans and those new to the franchise.””

    Might be just the time to finally get a top Stargate game aswell. Something co-op online, with procedurally generated worlds.

    Roland Emmerich is Rebooting the Stargate Franchise From Scratch

    “It’s not a story that can take place 20 years later. So the only way to really tell that trilogy is to go back from the beginning and start the story all over again.”

    Just make more Stargate Universe and stop with the endless reboots.

    I'm ok with this. As Myrddin says, the franchise is finished in it's current form, so a reboot is fine with me.

    I agree with everyone; Find someone to throw $5m at a 2.5 hour finale to SG:U. Continuum was a great way to wrap up the entire SG1 story arc, and while there wasn't quite as much of a backstory built up behind SGU, I think a satisfying closure of the whole thing would make the idea of a reboot sting a lot less.

    Looks like the remake is off again
    Oh, Stargate, why hast thou forsaken us? Despite the fact that that 1994 film from director Roland Emmerich and writer/producer Dean Devlin gave us three live action and one animated television series, plus a wide variety of novels and comic books that fans happily consumed, the franchise now seems to feel too above us to give any more. This despite the fact we’d been teased with rumblings of MGM and Warner Bros partnering with Emmerich and Devlin for a brand new trilogy. But now, in an exclusive interview with Empire, Devlin reveals that plans for a remake have fallen through.

    I would really love to see this movie happen. Someone should set up a petition and send it to Hollywood

    Me too the more Stargate and Star Trek out there the better.
    Would love to see Stargate get 3 movies its a nice round number not too little or to many. You could do a story arc with a beginning a middle and an end or have 3 seperate movies.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I'm pretty happy that they're not making a complete reboot. I'm part of the minority that enjoyed SGU. It was ridiculous but I liked it. It was trying to be gritty and dark like BSG but it could shake its comedy roots so it was neither one thing or the other and that's why it tanked.
    I'd like to see another tv series continuing on from where they left off. I like to see them focus more on the philosophical, political, and economic aspects of communicating with aliens who are now a short hop away from us. I also liked the comedy side of Stargate so it'll be hard to go dark too. Maybe it would be cool to emulate a kind of West Wing political drama? "Stargate: Open Borders" (a not-too-subtle jab at the current state of the US government... a Teal'c-esque character can be played by a Mexican actor)
    But maybe it's still too early for any new Stargates...

    With Star Wars and Star Trek back on our screens (or soon to be in the latter's case) maybe the time is right for Stargate to return as well.

    Yeah but it can't be an Emmerich job, or anything like the tv series if it's going to be a massive blockbuster like Trek or Wars.
    Maybe make it a job for Aronofsky or Danny Boyle... or maybe someone slightly alternative like Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective) or Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) or Joseph Kosinski (Tron) or Chan-wook Park (Stoker) or George Miller (Mad Max)... There just needs to be a bit of a stylistic spin on Stargate so it doesn't look like it's following the successes of Trek and Wars (I think the third Trek was even just following its own success...)
    Even though Kosinski made Oblivion (which was beautiful to look at and listen to but was ultimately hollow, a bit like Tron too in fact...) I appreciate his architectural background and I think he might bring something new to Stargate.

    I also won't stand for an all white cast either with the additional indigenous "other" character... It's cliche and totally un-PC at this point.
    I'd like to see Chiwetel Ejiofor or John Cho at the helm or even a female main character to shake it up a bit - Thandie Newton or Gina Torres or Taraji P Henson or Angela Bassett or Sophie Okonedo or Maggie Q or Moon Bloodgood (I love Moon don't ask why). Though Henson is a popular pick atm Torres looks the part. Torres is tall and commanding looking and she had quite a similar role in Firefly (but obviously this can't look like a SyFy B-movie) so you'd need a few big names in the supporting cast too.

    As for the plot, any thoughts? Do we need an origin story? A recap of everything? Or just get thrown in the deep end, no explanation..?

    I think they were both very good films. One of my regrets is not going to the cinema to see Tron. Still when I did eventually see the film I really enjoyed. I did see Oblivion in the cinema do and loved it.

    Interesting. I say it will either be a new movie or the original movie is getting a reboot maybe make a trilogy out of it.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
