Devlin Announces Plans for Stargate Sequels

[Dr. Michael Benjamin]

Again I want to emphasize that my posts contain my personal opinions only. I repsect everyone else's point of view on this and I hope that we-as Stargate fans-can look forward to the day when the sequels reach theaters. I did read somewhere that the film was greatly watered down from the originaly concept because MGM wanted to focus the concept on a TV series (SG-1). If this is true I think that the studio did a great disservice to Devlin and Emmerich. I understand that many people were not big on the film but I thought it was excellent. The film probably could have been even better if the studio would have supported the project moreso (i.e. we wouldn't be thirteen years removed from the original only now talking about the second installment being "in the works"). I'd like to know if anyone heard about his.

I have some respect for the movie creators cause they created a good concept with Stargate and everything but i didnt like the movie itself cause of the actors. Russell didnt do anything for me.


I didnt know about movie being watered down, never heard of that before.

Seeing its hollywood its not surprising.


About sequals reaching the cinema it would be cool even though i prefer another tv show before any movie.

Hello everyone!
I am a newbie here but definately not new to SG1. I have been addicted to it since I watched Children of the Gods when it first aired. This thread has just jumped out at me and I have to say that I would hate to see these new films run away from the wonderful world that has been created with the SG1 universe and don't really see how the new films can stay away from the series since Children of the Gods links so closely with the original Stargate movie.

JMHO,
Juanita
