Devlin's Stargate

Jul 06, 2011 17:59

Dean Devlin apparently wants to do another Stargate film, following on from the Kurt Russell, James Spader film. Presumably, it would ignore SG-1, SGA and SGU and continue on from the film. I wouldn't mind that so much; after all, the Star Trek film from JJ Abrahms ignored 40 years of canon.

I could go for that. If they left out little kids and romantic silliness....

I don't see why the two couldn't coexist. Could be interesting to see the concept taken in a new direction - after Syfy and Spyglass screwed us over with SGU, I wouldn't want to see a new MGM-based TV series for now anyway because it'd likely be SG1 redux and as much as I loved SG1, it's had its day.

Bitter? Me? Never!

It's been interesting to see various comments around the traps. Unsurprisingly, a certain section of Stargate fans think they've been screwed over and it's made me scratch my head a bit because it's Devlin. He didn't want any television spin-off from the get go. He's not picking on Stargate TV series fans by wanting a movie spin off. It's all a bit precious.

I think for a lot of "so called" Stargate fans this last announcement came a bit by surprise, doesn't it? Not that's really such a bad idea to give the original movie its end, but I don't think it's possible to include anything from the TV product to it, storywise. Question is, does it have to? Surly, it does not have to. It's just another form of Stargate, imo. I'd watch the movie, if it'll be ever made, just because I'm curious. But, also, can't exactly say I'm impatiently waiting for the film to be made.

The only question which might be of interest is, how will MGM/Spyglass handle this "Franchise" in the future? Will they support Devlin's Movie(s), and therefore put a definitely full-stop to the TV series (which is more or less the case itm), or will there be something in between? I have no idea. But I'm sure, as much as I'm not too eager to wait for Devlin's movie(s), I'm not waiting to see another incarnation of the TV product, I'd like to see the original end to SGU, but anything else? No, not really.
