Hi, I'm not gay, but I would like to marry you anyway. Enough with reboots in science fiction franchises ! The entire point of those franchises is to EVOLVE !
kehvan I am French, but no, it's germanic, like most French names. My actual name is Gérald, The modern French way of writing Gariwald. it's basically the same name as Gerard or Garibald.
If there is no way that they will ressurect the old stargate then I would atleast want to see they to do something with the franchise. Maybe the new movies would have been good. If they would not be good then atleast they tried and I could just ignore it.
***** Really? The Wraith were not defeated in the Pegasus galaxy and Atlantis was left stranded on Earth. There was supposed to be a direct-to-DVD SGA movie but it was cancelled aswell.
nrs10001 I was looking forward to seeing the effects in the new film. Story wise I was not holding my breath as Rolland hated the series that came from the first movie
YES! Fuck yes I'm so glad they aren't fucking up a perfect franchise. I was so mad when they said they were rebooting instead of picking back up Stargate Universe or a new series.
"People love the property, they love the first movie. People love the tv show." Yeah, which is why when some asshole comes in and says they are going to torch the entire franchise and start over, the very people you need on your side don't take it so well.
I agree. They should bring back the previous series and continue where they left of. I have started a discussion about bringing back SG-1, SGA and SGU on reddit, www.reddit.com/r/Stargate/comments/5k3mhl/bringing_back_sg1_sga_and_sgu/, after I found out that the reboot is not happening on the 22nd/23rd December. We are discussing ways the series could come back and may be do another sequel series after or during SGU, if SGU returned to television. It also has links to petitions on change.org from fans who want the series back and a youtube video from one of the actors of SGU, David Blue (Ellie Wallance). It was an interview he did in May 2016, which he talks about the SGU and the Stargate reboot movies. If the fans show MGM that there is a growing interest wanting Stargate series back. Hopefully they will bring it back, make some changes to SGU. Make it less dark. Make it similar to SG-1 and SGA but still be unique. Like how SGA was similar to SG-1 but still unique. Also make it smarter and adding smarter things. Hopefully they will also listen to the fans. Stargate was more successful as a television series. They can do movies that link with series or for large events, like they have done with Star Trek series and movies and Marvel movies with Agents of Shield. MGM can still make this work and successful for everyone.
Continuing Stargate Atlantis is what they should have been doing. Why rewrite gold? it seems like they want to rewrite everything and mess everything up...
I'm glad I'm not the only one to see it this way. They should have continued Atlantis and waited to bring out universe...I miss that cast and show so much it hurts. ]: {
Joe Flanigan the main actor of atlantis wanted to buy the whole franchise but they said no, then he wanted to lease it for 10 years and they was "ok" but then went bancrupt so he again after it went to them and asked to lease it and make a 20 episode series in europe and sell it back to america with them getting alot of money but they said "no we wanna make reboot movie" ... so after they canceld it now we all know we all could have had a stargate atlantis series since a few years already but NO cause this fuckers wanted a movie they now never make ... i cant describe how much i hate this studio bosses so Joe Flanigan knew it was what the fans wanted the actors wanted it, he HAD THE FUCKN MONEY to lease it with investors and was already as far as had planned the series and its just not happaned because they wanted to make this shiny movie they now canceled even with joe telling them the series would be more for them anyways.... isnt that fantastic ?
If they do ever do a reboot.They should pick up after the Stargate Atlantis team brought Atlantis back to Earth and make Atlantis the new base of operations
This is great news, after all, this was going to be a reboot and not a revamp of the original series which had tons of material. I hate it when they do that.
GOOD! Franchises should be built upon, not torn down and repeated. People want NEW things, not the same old thing but with pixie sticks up everyone asses and shit acting.
This news will disappoint *dozens* of people! Sorry, as soon as I heard that the movies would have no reference to the TV series, I lost interest. I thought the first movie was OK popcorn fare, but that was it.
Do you mean the new (canceled) movie? If the movie were a continuation of SG-1 (probably only having Richard Dean Anderson in a supporting role) or a continuation of Atlantis, I would have been at least a little interested.
Exactamundo. I was so worried it would destroy the original and the series, even though they were not masterpieces. Maybe someone else can do it justice, in another decade. Just wait and someone who is fresh/new can helm it
Oscar Stainton eh I'm torn on this I would love to see new things in stargate universe so let's hope we can get a continuity continuation somewhere down the line with Sy-Fi
With the cancellation of the movie and announcement of Stargate Origins, this reminds me of episode "200" on SG-1, where Marty says, "the movie got cancelled but the tv show is back on!"
ColliderVideos - well looks like you need to update as 'Stargate Origins' noted on July 20th 2017 that is going ahead a 10-episode event series, produced by MGM’s Digital Group and entertainment studio New Form, will be directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan and written by Mark Ilvedson and Justin Michael Terry. Casting for the live-action series is underway, with filming expected to begin in August.
Being that they were planning to ignore the TV series, I'm glad they are not going forward. If they had continued or used lore from the series, then I'd be all for it.
And in the meantime they shot down a Stargate show (after Universe's cancellation) headed by Joe Flanigan (John Sheppard) who was all set (with money and investors and a detailed plan) to buy a 10-year franchise contract from them. Rumours of the film reboot came up and the studio flaked out, even though the T.V. series made much more money than the original film. In fact One season of Atlantis made more cash than the Stargate film. Hollywood...smh.
Fuck yes!!! Now MGM needs to remember that is had a successful TV franchise, pair up with SyFy again, 'cause those guys have started doing space opera again, but I would prefer Netflix or Amazon, and bring back SGU!!! And then do another series.
SG-1 already covered any possible story left from the film. At this point people remember the TV show better than the film anyways. A new reboot movie would only look like an attempt to cash in.
Actually, I'm kind of happy. The original SG movie was great, and SG-1 was one of the best TV series ever. It was one of those rare properties where everything perfectly comes together, the writing, the casting, the chemistry of the actors/characters. Then Atlantis was good but not quite as much. And then there was Universe--which was about as similar to the movie and to SG-1 as the Prequels were to A New Hope. As much as I'd like to see more Stargate, it could easily be a recipe for disaster. Sometimes you just shouldn't mess with perfection.
The original movie kicked off the series sure... I'm 100% certain not a single one of us cares about a reboot (or even the original movie). I want more seasons of the TV shows. With platforms like Netflix that shouldn't be so difficult. If the original actors aren't available then find some new ones. The story and concepts are what continued to keep me interested for more than a decade. This is hands-down the best science fiction space exploration series to ever be created. I've seen all the Star Trek episodes and I hold this bars above Star Wars as well because of their focus on science and riveting concepts that relate to people today, not in some future (or past). Someone please start a crowd funding project because I want more Stargate!
"If there is no way that they will ressurect the old stargate then I would atleast want to see they to do something with the franchise." Technically its not a reboot, but a continuation of the less critically well received film that the television shows were spawned from. There are actually a few ways that they could continue the franchise, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin just don't have the same appreciation for the TV shows as the fans do, and have no interest in continuing with the mythology that the shows have set up. "Maybe the new movies would have been good." Well "Different" and "good" aren't words that I would typically associate with a Roland Emmerich film. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are not very competent filmmakers. The only films that come close to being good are Stargate and Independence Day, and those aren't even good films. The main reason they make films is to simply entertain, and not necessarily make interesting pieces of science fiction, which is very detrimental to the Stargate franchise. And it is often considered a modern day Star Trek, in that it explores philosophical ideas. "If they would not be good then atleast they tried and I could just ignore it." If they decided to reboot the franchise the it would be very difficult to go back to the old continuity. One of two things would happen: 1) the film flops and no one ever tries to continue either continuities. 2) The reboot could go the Transformers route, where its a commercial success, but no the likes the film and they just keep making more as a result. The reboot is probably a bad idea in any case, because the only reason to do a reboot is to appeal to a certain fan base in order to make a profit. But if you aren't gonna be faithful to the source material then what's the point of doing a reboot in the first place. The only people that might like the new reboot would be the people that didn't even watch Stargate.
sliders was so messed up with leftist propaganda at the end you would have thought stalin was writing it himself. that was the tv show, due to the heavy propaganda, that turned me off television for years.....
Only bring back the franchie / show if you do it proper. That means no cheesy short lengthy internet releases. Do it PROPER. 45-60 minute episodes and a proper plot that has the ability to survive over a periode of time. I would personally love to see a reboot of stargate universe as that was by far my favourite. Season 1 was not that good but season 2 really stepped up the pace and showed what they can do. Also I loved Stargate Atlantis. The only thing I didn't like about Atlantis is how they took it for granted that everyone should "get" with the fact that the entire universe spoke English without even bothering to explain it. They could even have explained it in a similar fashion like Farscape did.
These are amazing news for me as a Stargate fan. The franchize needs to continue, not be rebooted, and with the cancel a spark of hope, that one day we will see continuation in some form, is back.
I'm glad they canned it and didn't just decide to go and make another cash grab crappy remake. if it ever happens, I hope they put the effort into it that it deserves.
Fans should not look for a reboot but a continuation of the good stuff. Chances are, a reboot will just be Ghostbusters all over again. A movie that plays in ancient Egypt (Ra gets defeated and leaves earth) would be something of a movie. Maybe a movie from the viewpoint of Ra? Would be interesting!
Logan Ferguson I jumped on the Stargate fandom when my boyfriend got me into it. I heard about it before, but never really got into it until someone had to sit me down. Now we're 6 months in and we're on the 6th season of Stargate.
Even though I'm a big fan of all things Stargate, I'm kinda glad this isn't happening. I just have the feeling that Emmerich would have just fucked this up majorly. He's still stuck in the 90's and his movies show it. What worked well back then just doesn't work well any more. I think this would have been a tragedy of a film if it got made.
I'm oddly OK with this. I felt like we never got actual closure with the TV shows, and if we never get a new Stargate movie, it's just one less thing I have to ignore because I liked SG1 and Atlantis more than any other franchise, and feel cheated out of what I actually loved and got a pale copy (Universe). So if we never get an etch-a-sketch reboot, I'm okay with that.
I think Emerich and Devlin are just but hurt because when people think of Stargate they think of the long running show as opposed to the movie. I do agree with Rocha the studio saw how bad the Independence Day sequel was and decided to save their money for other projects.
Good! I'm big fan of the whole Stargate franchise, BUT every reboot that's happened for the past 6 years has been a total flop. I'd rather not see that happen the Stargate.
Good! Instead of a Reboot I'd still like to see how much things have advanced in the story. More ships, public knowledge, people joining the service to go out in space, colonies... yada yada. It souls just be cool!
a reboot is always some gamble. I did not really like the Star Trek reboot. My objection, a choppy plot, that left many pieces underdeveloped. The villian seemed like from a fairy tale. A space faring and advanced civilization who developed even faster than the humans in the federation and here is one guy who blames the loss of his wife and home on the one person who failed saving it. Do you see homicide of firefighters who retreat when they are unable to get into a fully burning home? I understand why the story revolves around Spock and Kirk but this becomes very boring.
Stargate CAN be rebooted, just not as a remake but a continuation; keep the universe in exactly the place it left off at in the series but this time change the focus to earth: what if after all that happened in the series, what if news of the Stargate DID get fully revealed---and with no possible denying---to the public, also what if those rogue elements,like the NID or TRUST were not taken down completely. I would love to see what PRESIDENT JACK O`NEAL would do in that situation!?
Real Stargate fans are not upset... They breathed a collective sigh or relief. The TV show needs to be continued and a silver screen stand alone that also fits in the universe is OK, but a reboot would be a horrible disservice to the 17 seasons of amazing TV that were made and fed a generation of nerds some amazing science fiction.
The beginning Independence Day Resurgence was great. It started out just right. Technology had taken a leap forward from reverse engineering salvage from the first war. We also had some hints of government corruption, and that society was not as healthy and "happy" as it seemed at first glance. I also loved the introduction of a 3rd conquered species and how it expanded the universe. They were impressed by us humans who managed to take out the ultimate enemy despite all odds, and they chose us as their successors to inherit their technology. We now know that the "harvesters" are a known menace through out the galaxy and that they have destroyed countless worlds. It was all a great beginning to what could have been a series of movies in a new cinematic universe. ...and what did it all end up with? Chasing a giant harvester queen across the desert.... big fucking yawn. The queen of the great harvester race, destroyer of countless worlds... lured out of her hive and taken out by petty artillery. Dean Devlin and R. Emmrich, seriously guys??
Thank fucking god... I hate reboots. They wanted to throw away a great universe and all it's lore, fuck that. We want Stargate, the real Stargate, not some mutilated version of it.
I used to watch Stargate and I had no f***in idea what was going on but it was kinda ebtertaining. I think they should take the premise in a different directio.
Diehard fans will resist a reboot, rather going for a continuation. I don't mind as long as it good, watchable entertainment like it used to be. I wondered WHY there was almost NEVER any bleedover from SG1 to Atlantis or SGU, ... like why didn't Atlantis have ZATs, ... they used ARGs with the replicators and had a go-auld apperance, also, why was there never an Atlantis filmor films? I could pick apart lots of things that defied logic from all the series, ... like 1or 2 headshots to kill wraith and other baddies, among many more faults in the writing of episodes in all the series. I'll stop here cause it is getting too deep and becoming a rant. Thanks for reading this comment, tell me what you think?😁
Good new for Stargate fans, you mean. This means an increased chance for the tv-series to have a continuation, something which this new movie crap (which would have ignored the universe created by the tv-series) has been in the way for.
I am glad the reboot failed, continue the franchise that exists, don't throw away 17 seasons worth of content and progress. (If they did that Earth would be back to having our own technology, no new weapons, space ships etc...) They have so much material available to them: numerous alien races, ships that can go to other galaxies (the show is no longer limited to the Stargate itself) and Loose ends in Atlantis and maybe if they have the time conclude Universe.
Hmm im kind of mixed on this. On the one hand, it means no more Stargate for some time to come. On the other hand this means that we may get a continuation of the TV series instead of a reboot.
The stargate show we all fell in love with (universe not so much) but SG-1 and SGA is dead. There’s no bringing it back without the original cast. Sad to say but I think it should be left alone. Don’t ruin the legacy of what was perfectly done. However I would like closure with SGA and universes.. (one of the few fans that liked it kinda) if you wanna reboot something and make it good, universe! For the love of Thor restart universe but make it good!
YAAAAYY!!! It's been canceled. I know I sound probably like a jerk, but hear me out. Evidently the tv show creators are doing there bit to bring it back, first with Stargate Origins and depending on the success something grander in the upcoming future. Oh right, let me set the news right, Independence Day: Resurgence was awesome!!
I am glad in part, reboots are often terrible even more than sequels. Get it right and continue the story left unfinished with the surviving cast if possible.
I cut my cable when they canceled Star Gate Atlantis. As much as I enjoyed the show I hope they let it die. IF they make it I will want to see it. But here is the thing, most of the time when they do a remake it just suxs.
Hollywood has been putting out really crappy moneylosers, but won't put out great stuff like Alita II or Stargate. Everything has to beat audiences over the head with a "message" and a really lame story line.
I have mixed thoughts about the Stargate reboot. They should bring back the previous series and continue where they left of. I have started a discussion about bringing back SG-1, SGA and SGU on reddit, www.reddit.com/r/Stargate/comments/5k3mhl/bringing_back_sg1_sga_and_sgu/, after I found out that the reboot is not happening on the 22nd/23rd December.

I also have started another discussion about bringing back SG-1, SGA and SGU on the GateWorld website, forum.gateworld.net/threads/91811-Bringing-back-Stargate-Television-Series. If the fans show MGM that there is a growing interest wanting Stargate series back. Hopefully they will bring it back, make some changes to SGU. Make it less dark.

I thought all those seasons of the Independence Day TV series were brilliant! Oh wait, that NEVER happened. Stargate wasn’t broken, don’t try to fix it with a reboot.
I actually liked Independence Day Resurgence, Computer graphics were awesome, as i expected, and aliens got their ass whopped, as i also expected. Script wasen't that good, however, it's not a drama movie, it's a continuation of ID4 1996, It doesn't have to have a deep meaning, just some action and awesome effects. Take James Camerons Avatar, that script sucked. To begin with, Man is soldier, he's fighting the good guys, then he has a change of heart and help the good guys fight the bad guys. come on, how many times haven't we seen that plot in a movie. What made Avatar so awesome, was the special effects.
Good. ALL reboots should fucking follow suit.
James Milton No. No they shouldn't. That is an idiotic thing to say
there are positive example, but yeah, many if not most reboots kinda suck
Koki F
superhero movies dont count
Exactly. All reboots do is destroy great works of fiction, then replace them with garbage.
Cory Weston
well i got 14 likes and you got 2, so fuck off dooshbitch
Bad news?
I don't see this as 'bad' news.
Yeah, this is excellent news. I don't want Stargate rebooting. If it comes back on tv or film I want a continuation, otherwise I don't want it.
Good... Stargate shouldn't be rebooted, but continued.
Hi, I'm not gay, but I would like to marry you anyway. Enough with reboots in science fiction franchises ! The entire point of those franchises is to EVOLVE !
Hey, I'm gay... marry me.
kehvan XD
Gariwald, is that a French name?
kehvan I am French, but no, it's germanic, like most French names. My actual name is Gérald, The modern French way of writing Gariwald. it's basically the same name as Gerard or Garibald.
This gets cancelled, but Ghostbusters got made.
i loved ghostbusters one and two but i could not finish this awful new ghostbusters, crappiest movie i have ever seen
If only this happened to Ghostbusters.
Garrick Groover lol
Indeed.
Garrick Groover difference is you can still do a lot of stuff with Stargate.Ghostbusters was un welcomed.
***** Fair enough.
Garrick Groover yes that would have been good I am glad that it did not happen to deadpool though
GOOD NEWS FOR STAR GARE FANS!
If anything they should continue the franchise, not reboot it and shit on the established canon -.-
If there is no way that they will ressurect the old stargate then I would atleast want to see they to do something with the franchise. Maybe the new movies would have been good. If they would not be good then atleast they tried and I could just ignore it.
They should also properly finish Stargate Atlantis.
*****
Really? The Wraith were not defeated in the Pegasus galaxy and Atlantis was left stranded on Earth. There was supposed to be a direct-to-DVD SGA movie but it was cancelled aswell.
***** Multi-dimension thing? You mean the "Vegas" episode? That episode doesn't solve anything, only gives that one Wraith ship Earth's location.
*****
But the Wraith were not defeated. Atlantis never had a proper ending unlike SG1 (the Goa'uld, Ori, replicators were all defeated).
The TV show was 10 times better than the movie and I love the movie. I'm sad and happy at the same time seeing how recent reboots of things have gone
nrs10001 I was looking forward to seeing the effects in the new film. Story wise I was not holding my breath as Rolland hated the series that came from the first movie
YES! Fuck yes I'm so glad they aren't fucking up a perfect franchise. I was so mad when they said they were rebooting instead of picking back up Stargate Universe or a new series.
we dont need a reboot we need a seaqual
"People love the property, they love the first movie. People love the tv show." Yeah, which is why when some asshole comes in and says they are going to torch the entire franchise and start over, the very people you need on your side don't take it so well.

Best news I've heard all day.
Like, enough with all of the half-assed, mediocre reboots, remakes and adaptations already!
Can't say I'm crying rn.
I really enjoyed Continuum.
Continuing Stargate Atlantis is what they should have been doing. Why rewrite gold? it seems like they want to rewrite everything and mess everything up...
I'm glad I'm not the only one to see it this way. They should have continued Atlantis and waited to bring out universe...I miss that cast and show so much it hurts. ]: {
Chris Harris they definitely ended it too soon. they could've gotten 5 more years out of it like the original SG1
Their plan was to take it back to the Pegasus galaxy and continue the fight as a command post.
Joe Flanigan the main actor of atlantis wanted to buy the whole franchise but they said no, then he wanted to lease it for 10 years and they was "ok" but then went bancrupt so he again after it went to them and asked to lease it and make a 20 episode series in europe and sell it back to america with them getting alot of money but they said "no we wanna make reboot movie" ... so after they canceld it now we all know we all could have had a stargate atlantis series since a few years already but NO cause this fuckers wanted a movie they now never make ...
i cant describe how much i hate this studio bosses
so Joe Flanigan knew it was what the fans wanted the actors wanted it, he HAD THE FUCKN MONEY to lease it with investors and was already as far as had planned the series and its just not happaned because they wanted to make this shiny movie they now canceled even with joe telling them the series would be more for them anyways.... isnt that fantastic ?
Thank god. Let's hope the continuity continues some how because I was upset it was going to erase all that lore.
That's not bad news for star gate fans, we never wanted Emmerich's grubby paws on our franchise again.
Be glad it's not Abrams. That specimen contaminates everything it touches.
***** Abrams may have missed the point of trek, but he's pretty spot on with star wars, and a much better director than Emmerich in general.
star wars sucks too, I almost fell asleep while watching the reboot
If they do ever do a reboot.They should pick up after the Stargate Atlantis team brought Atlantis back to Earth and make Atlantis the new base of operations
that is a continuation not a reboot
I didn't even think a movie would be the best for SG...how about a new tv show? Maybe Netflix? IDK...
Jeb Atman origins starts in two weeks
This is great news, after all, this was going to be a reboot and not a revamp of the original series which had tons of material. I hate it when they do that.
NUFF with the reboots .....more Stargate !
GOOD! Franchises should be built upon, not torn down and repeated. People want NEW things, not the same old thing but with pixie sticks up everyone asses and shit acting.
I love stargate, really happy to see it won't get ruined by a reboot..
This news will disappoint *dozens* of people!
Sorry, as soon as I heard that the movies would have no reference to the TV series, I lost interest. I thought the first movie was OK popcorn fare, but that was it.
Do you mean the new (canceled) movie?
If the movie were a continuation of SG-1 (probably only having Richard Dean Anderson in a supporting role) or a continuation of Atlantis, I would have been at least a little interested.
In other words, one of the few good things to come out of the failure of Independence Day: Resurgence.
Exactamundo. I was so worried it would destroy the original and the series, even though they were not masterpieces. Maybe someone else can do it justice, in another decade. Just wait and someone who is fresh/new can helm it
Oscar Stainton Considering he was planning on retconning SG1 in the process which took the story to great heights I am not broke up

"Maybe the new movies would have been good." Well "Different" and "good" aren't words that I would typically associate with a Roland Emmerich film. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are not very competent filmmakers. The only films that come close to being good are Stargate and Independence Day, and those aren't even good films. The main reason they make films is to simply entertain, and not necessarily make interesting pieces of science fiction, which is very detrimental to the Stargate franchise. And it is often considered a modern day Star Trek, in that it explores philosophical ideas.
"If they would not be good then atleast they tried and I could just ignore it." If they decided to reboot the franchise the it would be very difficult to go back to the old continuity. One of two things would happen: 1) the film flops and no one ever tries to continue either continuities. 2) The reboot could go the Transformers route, where its a commercial success, but no the likes the film and they just keep making more as a result.
The reboot is probably a bad idea in any case, because the only reason to do a reboot is to appeal to a certain fan base in order to make a profit. But if you aren't gonna be faithful to the source material then what's the point of doing a reboot in the first place. The only people that might like the new reboot would be the people that didn't even watch Stargate.
Sci-fi fans! So....how about a Sliders reboot?
sliders was so messed up with leftist propaganda at the end you would have thought stalin was writing it himself. that was the tv show, due to the heavy propaganda, that turned me off television for years.....
Only bring back the franchie / show if you do it proper. That means no cheesy short lengthy internet releases. Do it PROPER. 45-60 minute episodes and a proper plot that has the ability to survive over a periode of time. I would personally love to see a reboot of stargate universe as that was by far my favourite. Season 1 was not that good but season 2 really stepped up the pace and showed what they can do. Also I loved Stargate Atlantis. The only thing I didn't like about Atlantis is how they took it for granted that everyone should "get" with the fact that the entire universe spoke English without even bothering to explain it. They could even have explained it in a similar fashion like Farscape did.
These are amazing news for me as a Stargate fan. The franchize needs to continue, not be rebooted, and with the cancel a spark of hope, that one day we will see continuation in some form, is back.
I'm glad they canned it and didn't just decide to go and make another cash grab crappy remake. if it ever happens, I hope they put the effort into it that it deserves.
Glad to hear this. No-one wanted/needed a stargate reboot, ffs.
Fans should not look for a reboot but a continuation of the good stuff. Chances are, a reboot will just be Ghostbusters all over again. A movie that plays in ancient Egypt (Ra gets defeated and leaves earth) would be something of a movie. Maybe a movie from the viewpoint of Ra? Would be interesting!
Love all the great comments by true Stargate fans. No Reboot! cntinue the franchise. in my opininon they should bring back SG Universe.
Love Stargate, but not a fan of a reboot so soon. So, thumbs up?
Logan Ferguson I jumped on the Stargate fandom when my boyfriend got me into it. I heard about it before, but never really got into it until someone had to sit me down. Now we're 6 months in and we're on the 6th season of Stargate.
Even though I'm a big fan of all things Stargate, I'm kinda glad this isn't happening. I just have the feeling that Emmerich would have just fucked this up majorly. He's still stuck in the 90's and his movies show it. What worked well back then just doesn't work well any more. I think this would have been a tragedy of a film if it got made.
this was only worth it all to hear Rocha saying lndependence Day: Resurgence did not come out well
I want Stargate back. best show and with visual effects now imagine what they could do
I'm oddly OK with this. I felt like we never got actual closure with the TV shows, and if we never get a new Stargate movie, it's just one less thing I have to ignore because I liked SG1 and Atlantis more than any other franchise, and feel cheated out of what I actually loved and got a pale copy (Universe). So if we never get an etch-a-sketch reboot, I'm okay with that.
I think Emerich and Devlin are just but hurt because when people think of Stargate they think of the long running show as opposed to the movie. I do agree with Rocha the studio saw how bad the Independence Day sequel was and decided to save their money for other projects.
Good! I'm big fan of the whole Stargate franchise, BUT every reboot that's happened for the past 6 years has been a total flop. I'd rather not see that happen the Stargate.
Good! Instead of a Reboot I'd still like to see how much things have advanced in the story. More ships, public knowledge, people joining the service to go out in space, colonies... yada yada. It souls just be cool!
a reboot is always some gamble.
I did not really like the Star Trek reboot. My objection, a choppy plot, that left many pieces underdeveloped. The villian seemed like from a fairy tale. A space faring and advanced civilization who developed even faster than the humans in the federation and here is one guy who blames the loss of his wife and home on the one person who failed saving it.
Do you see homicide of firefighters who retreat when they are unable to get into a fully burning home?
I understand why the story revolves around Spock and Kirk but this becomes very boring.
Couldn't be happier! Hated the movie but loved the shows.
Stargate CAN be rebooted, just not as a remake but a continuation; keep the universe in exactly the place it left off at in the series but this time change the focus to earth: what if after all that happened in the series, what if news of the Stargate DID get fully revealed---and with no possible denying---to the public, also what if those rogue elements,like the NID or TRUST were not taken down completely. I would love to see what PRESIDENT JACK O`NEAL would do in that situation!?
Oh for real damn now I'm gonna have to come up with my own thought of it
Real Stargate fans are not upset... They breathed a collective sigh or relief. The TV show needs to be continued and a silver screen stand alone that also fits in the universe is OK, but a reboot would be a horrible disservice to the 17 seasons of amazing TV that were made and fed a generation of nerds some amazing science fiction.
The beginning Independence Day Resurgence was great. It started out just right. Technology had taken a leap forward from reverse engineering salvage from the first war. We also had some hints of government corruption, and that society was not as healthy and "happy" as it seemed at first glance.
I also loved the introduction of a 3rd conquered species and how it expanded the universe. They were impressed by us humans who managed to take out the ultimate enemy despite all odds, and they chose us as their successors to inherit their technology. We now know that the "harvesters" are a known menace through out the galaxy and that they have destroyed countless worlds. It was all a great beginning to what could have been a series of movies in a new cinematic universe.
...and what did it all end up with? Chasing a giant harvester queen across the desert.... big fucking yawn.
The queen of the great harvester race, destroyer of countless worlds... lured out of her hive and taken out by petty artillery.
Dean Devlin and R. Emmrich, seriously guys??
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
Dudes a fan? Then wtf does he want a reboot??? CONTINUE THE DAMN STORY WE ALREADY LOVE!
Thank fucking god...
I hate reboots. They wanted to throw away a great universe and all it's lore, fuck that. We want Stargate, the real Stargate, not some mutilated version of it.
Having only been interested in SG from afar, I wouldn't mind a reboot...just not by Roland Emmerich, or Dean Devlin.
I used to watch Stargate and I had no f***in idea what was going on but it was kinda ebtertaining. I think they should take the premise in a different directio.
Looks like Hollywood is finally catching on. They certainly lost enough money on reboots this year.
I only hope it continues with someone else at the helm.
Bad news? How is this bad news? We (the fans) do not want reboots... We want SG-1, SGA, and SGU continued.
WHY REBOOT... I am sick of reboots... why not take it years later, with a new team, and new threats? Sheesh, come on Hollywood, get over reboots!
Diehard fans will resist a reboot, rather going for a continuation. I don't mind as long as it good, watchable entertainment like it used to be.
I wondered WHY there was almost NEVER any bleedover from SG1 to Atlantis or SGU, ... like why didn't Atlantis have ZATs, ... they used ARGs with the replicators and had a go-auld apperance, also, why was there never an Atlantis filmor films?
I could pick apart lots of things that defied logic from all the series, ... like 1or 2 headshots to kill wraith and other baddies, among many more faults in the writing of episodes in all the series.
I'll stop here cause it is getting too deep and becoming a rant.
Thanks for reading this comment, tell me what you think?😁
WE"RE BACK AND IT'S HAPPENING!!!!
Good new for Stargate fans, you mean.
This means an increased chance for the tv-series to have a continuation, something which this new movie crap (which would have ignored the universe created by the tv-series) has been in the way for.
Stargate doesn't need a rehash. It needs fresh approach.
I am glad the reboot failed, continue the franchise that exists, don't throw away 17 seasons worth of content and progress.
(If they did that Earth would be back to having our own technology, no new weapons, space ships etc...)
They have so much material available to them: numerous alien races, ships that can go to other galaxies (the show is no longer limited to the Stargate itself) and Loose ends in Atlantis and maybe if they have the time conclude Universe.
we don't need a reboot, they can continue from where they left the main storyline.....
They can do anything they want of want to. I hope they get it going. I want to see it 2021 or 2022 at least.
Hmm im kind of mixed on this.
On the one hand, it means no more Stargate for some time to come. On the other hand this means that we may get a continuation of the TV series instead of a reboot.
Honestly you would REALLY have to fuck up a stargate series to get me to hate it. Loyal stargate Zombie here.
The stargate show we all fell in love with (universe not so much) but SG-1 and SGA is dead. There’s no bringing it back without the original cast. Sad to say but I think it should be left alone. Don’t ruin the legacy of what was perfectly done. However I would like closure with SGA and universes.. (one of the few fans that liked it kinda) if you wanna reboot something and make it good, universe! For the love of Thor restart universe but make it good!
Thinking of doing a stargate reboot is just as stupid as doing a Star Wars reboot would be. Established, profitable franchises should NOT be rebooted.
YAAAAYY!!! It's been canceled. I know I sound probably like a jerk, but hear me out. Evidently the tv show creators are doing there bit to bring it back, first with Stargate Origins and depending on the success something grander in the upcoming future. Oh right, let me set the news right, Independence Day: Resurgence was awesome!!
Noooooooo!!!!!!! Please give me more Stargate :'(
Bring back Stargate Universe. The best Stargate series.
I am glad in part, reboots are often terrible even more than sequels. Get it right and continue the story left unfinished with the surviving cast if possible.
Good, we don't need no stinking reboot. Leave the 17 seasons and 3 movies of established cannon ALONE! Its not like this is Star Wars or Trek...
Ah pity was looking forward to it
Good.
Anything that doesn't follow the series canon I really don't care about.
not cancelled its already in production this year, even trailer out.
im alright with this. The best thing about Stargate had nothing to do with these guys.
I cut my cable when they canceled Star Gate Atlantis. As much as I enjoyed the show I hope they let it die. IF they make it I will want to see it. But here is the thing, most of the time when they do a remake it just suxs.
Fuck the reboot! The Stargate trilogy (Sg1/Atlantas/SGU) are as holy & sacred as the Original Star Wars trilogy
I would enjoy a continuation of SGU... or if need be, a continuation set like 20 or 50 years into the future; I guess...
Look back at the very first Star wars, critics ALWAYS get it wrong!!!!!
Stargate Origins is filming they just posted a behind the scenes video
This is AMAZING news, the Movie and the TV shows still stand up.. I'm sick to shit with reboots.. Come up with something ORIGINAL for once..
Hollywood has been putting out really crappy moneylosers, but won't put out great stuff like Alita II or Stargate. Everything has to beat audiences over the head with a "message" and a really lame story line.
Put it on Television
I have mixed thoughts about the Stargate reboot. They should bring back the previous series and continue where they left of. I have started a discussion about bringing back SG-1, SGA and SGU on reddit, www.reddit.com/r/Stargate/comments/5k3mhl/bringing_back_sg1_sga_and_sgu/, after I found out that the reboot is not happening on the 22nd/23rd December. We are discussing ways the series could come back and may be do another sequel series after or during SGU, if SGU returned to television. It also has links to petitions on change.org from fans who want the series back and a youtube video from one of the actors of SGU, David Blue (Ellie Wallance). It was an interview he did in May 2016, which he talks about the SGU and the Stargate reboot movies. I also have started another discussion about bringing back SG-1, SGA and SGU on the GateWorld website, forum.gateworld.net/threads/91811-Bringing-back-Stargate-Television-Series.
If the fans show MGM that there is a growing interest wanting Stargate series back. Hopefully they will bring it back, make some changes to SGU. Make it less dark. Make it similar to SG-1 and SGA but still be unique. Like how SGA was similar to SG-1 but still unique. Also make it smarter and adding smarter things. Hopefully they will also listen to the fans. Stargate was more successful as a television series. They can do movies that link with series or for large events, like they have done with Star Trek series and movies and Marvel movies with Agents of Shield. MGM can still make this work and successful for everyone.
I thought all those seasons of the Independence Day TV series were brilliant!
Oh wait, that NEVER happened.
Stargate wasn’t broken, don’t try to fix it with a reboot.
So tired of reboots. Do something original, Hollywood!
They should just leave it as it is. I loved the original movie SG-1 and Atlantis (just not Universe).
I actually liked Independence Day Resurgence, Computer graphics were awesome, as i expected, and aliens got their ass whopped, as i also expected. Script wasen't that good, however, it's not a drama movie, it's a continuation of ID4 1996, It doesn't have to have a deep meaning, just some action and awesome effects.
Take James Camerons Avatar, that script sucked. To begin with, Man is soldier, he's fighting the good guys, then he has a change of heart and help the good guys fight the bad guys. come on, how many times haven't we seen that plot in a movie. What made Avatar so awesome, was the special effects.
A fashion scarf "outlaw"....really?
BEST NEWS SINCE I WAS BORN
Hmm... hearing this news makes me like Picard in the conference room in First Contact.
NO! NOOOOOOOOOO!
