Forums - Movies & TV - Excited for the Stargate remake?

Zanten said:
I'm not... SUPER excited. x3 While the movie was good in that it established the foundations (circular ring thing that opens wormholes, mythology-based aliens, etc,) pretty much 90% or so of what I enjoyed about Stargate came from the later shows than it did the actual movie itself. Considering how much the creators of the movie apparently LOATHED the shows (and, for the record, they're the ones doing these sequels,) suffice to say few if any elements from the television show are going to be brought into the film, unless outside studio pressure mutters in their ear; "WE NEED TEAL'C."

That and Rolland Emmersomething seems to kind of made a name for himself in creating one 'Earth is Screwed' movie after another, so i can't help but be concerned we'll just end up with a reskinned Independence Day. =P (Which, for the record, I did enjoy, but not so much that I want it AGAIN.)

So yeah. Interested in Stargate-y goodness, but not super confident about the folks helming it.

This sums up my feelings perfectly. The original movie is important for starting the franchise, but it's on TV where the series found its voice.

This was Stargate for me:

 

I will have a hard time with the new actors if they are not up to par... with these guys.



I would rather have new show, preferably in the line with SG-1 and Atlantis. Universe was boring for most of 1st season, and decent for 2nd, but honestly, I prefer campy approach of original show and Atlantis.

For anyone who craves for that 90s, often cheap, yet fun feeling, Killjoys and Dark Matter are currently shows to watch.



I liked the film, series was okay until it got a bit too lore heavy and then had spinoffs, plus hired all of the cast of Farscape. But... thanks for the news, I didn't know. I will look forward to it.



Hmm, pie.

Fuck it. Firefly reboot. Lets make it happen.

I liked the stargate films and shows. it just makes me think of the lack of sci fi shows lately. I don't know why firefly was canceled. I want more sci-fi shows, damnit. Movies only last an hour and a half.



star gate without richard dean anderson sucks, and richard has become realy fat after the show stopped.


oh and im not a chainsmoking twin...

Seriously a new SG1 or Firefly (reboot/remake of both) would be fantastic.



I'm already a hater! I want SG-1/Atlantis back (Universe too, why not?)


Film remake? Sorry, no



Even tough the movie was decent I didn't like any of the series.... so Ill pass them :|
