Did You Like STARGATE? Guess What, You'll Get A Reboot Trilogy Of It!
Fri, September 6, 2013 
Roland Emmerich, who's strange variety of quality filmography includes Godzilla, Independance Day, Anonymous, The Patriot, and this summer's White House Down wants to bring back his 1994 Sci-Fi film, Stargate as a rebooted trilogy.
Emmerich told Digital Spy:
"We went to MGM, who has the rights, and proposed to them to do a sequel, but as a reboot... and reboot it as a movie and then do three parts. Pretty soon we'll have to look for a writer and start."
According to Emmerich, this works pretty well, since Stargate was supposed to be the start of a trilogy, and obviously he can't really do that now since Kurt Russel is going to be Fastin' and Furious'n and James Spader has signed his life away to be the villainous Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
"I originally wanted to make [the original Stargate] a trilogy," the director said. "But now, after all this time, I couldn't do a trilogy anymore, because the actors look totally different, and it would not work."
Expect for the inevitable announcement that J.J. Abrams will direct and Channing Tatum will star within the coming months.
Stargate spawned 3 TV series, "SG-1", "Atlantis", and "Universe" and 2 direct-to-DVD films, The Ark of Truth and Continuum.
