I'm a little late in the game, but I still thought I'd share a note saying, "Woot! Woot!" My favorite sci-fi franchise is getting a reboot, and it's about time! I was pretty sure Stargate had gone to it's starry grave, but no! It has been resurrected. Hallelujah!
According to The Wrap, last month there was an announcement that Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the original 'Stargate' creators are back on board in partnership with MGM & Warner brothers for a new Stargate film, set to be a trilogy. I don't know about you, but I am glad to hear the Stargate universe (not to be confused with the show Stargate Universe) is set to come back to life. Sci-Fi fans have been petitioning to save the franchise for quite some time. The trilogy has a lot to live up to. According to The Wrap, "at the time of “Stargate's” release in 1994, the film set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend in October and went on to gross nearly $200 million worldwide at the box office."
Will this new trilogy spark a new generation of Stargate fans or will it fizzle flat in comparison to the universe fans so dearly love?
Only time will tell, but this sci-fi nerd will be lined up to see it on opening night.
