Entertainment News'Stargate' Franchise Reboot Coming Soon

‘Stargate’ Franchise Reboot Coming Soon

Date:

Roland Emmerich plans on rebooting the Stargate coming soon.

Roland Emmerich has been planning on continuing his 1994 film Stargate for a long time, but while talking to the press about his new movie Independence Day: Resurgence, he and producer Dean Devlin have been dropping some more hints about what’s next for the franchise.

The two have long talked about how the first film was conceived of as a trilogy and according to Variety, they’re working on the next film:

Now the duo are in active development on a reboot movie being produced by MGM and Warner Bros. The film is being penned by “Resurgence” writers James A. Woods and Nicolas Wright, and is intended to kickstart the franchise that Emmerich and Devlin always hoped to create.

Interestingly, Devlin also says that the new movie likely isn’t going to be a direct sequel to the original movie. They are going to start the entire franchise over again.

“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.”

Devlin said that they’ll be avoiding the television universe:

Now that the pair are back on board, the franchise will sidestep the continuity of the series, but not because of sour grapes, Devlin insists.

“It was taken away from us, and it’s tough to have your children raised by other parents, even if they do a very good job. … For us, it’s not putting down what has been done. It’s to let us finish telling our story.”

Starting the story from the beginning could be a good way to restart the entire film franchise.
