Any Fellow Stargate Fans Here?

[DonIago]

It would be kind of cool if there was a movie set in the present day showing how the discovery of the Stargate and everything that came with have led that Earth to further deviate from ours.

 

[TheFlutteringHorde]

Can't say I cared much for the movie, it was fine, but I really liked SG-1. I also liked Atlantis a lot, especially towards the beginning. For me the series kinda got worse as time went, especially the last season, but it's still a fun watch.

Universe was sort of the opposite for me, thought it had a pretty dull start, but got substantially better as it went. I was so sad to see it go, especially after the Novus arc.

A reboot of Stargate as a TV series would be a good answer for Amazon to Disney's Star Wars shows and movies and Paramount's Star Trek shows. I wonder why Amazon isn't rebooting the series anymore?

 

[JD]

They've already got The Boys, Lord of The Rings, Wheel of Time, and Fallout, they don't need to worry about another genre series.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

They are very different kinds of genre shows though.

 

[JD]

That's true, but I just question if there's really enough interest left in the franchise to make it worth their time or money to make it.

Honestly, I would love for another film in the style of the original, and go really big with it. I think that would generate interest.

I love Stargate. Big fan of the film, SG1 and the Bill McCay novelverse. I think SG1 did get into exploring some interesting ideas, like "Red Sky" with the religious extremism, and I love how it wasn't afraid to poke fun at itself like "Wormhole X-treme!" or "200" It's probably my favourite series for interconnected continuity, in the sense of not having thought out beforehand but they would put something in and mine that idea for episodes down the road. Like take the Beta gate and how many episodes spun out of that concept and its repercussions.

Brad Wright on Amazon’s New Stargate and Travelers Season 4

Stargate SG-1 co-creator Brad Wright teases what might have happened in Travelers Season 4 and his hopes for a new Stargate series.

“I am sure MGM and Amazon will do something with the franchise. I am less sure if I will have anything to do with it. A few years ago now, MGM reached out to me and asked me to develop a pilot script for a new series, but so much has changed since then, including all of the players. Amazon is probably deciding what to do with Stargate as a tent-pole franchise and that may take some time. I wish them well.”

Personally I hope they start soon with a Stargate project, I hope with Brad Wright and the old cast

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. RDA is retired from acting, Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping have moved onto behind the scenes work and Don Davis is dead. Chris Judge is the only one regularly acting anymore, and even he seems to be focusing on voice acting on recent years.

Even if there is a new Stargate project, I don't think the cast from the TV series will return. Maybe they can make a TV series with the same cast from the 1994 movie. Or they can reboot it completely. It's more likely they'll make a second one.

 

[The Wormhole]

That's even less likely. Though Kurt Russell has always been generally positive about Stargate, James Spader hated the movie and claims he only did it to make ends meet during a lull in his career.

Before Amazon bought it in 2022, MGM was planning a TV show that would be a sequel to Stargate SG-1. Everyone who played in the TV series and was still alive was open to coming back. And they wanted to. But after Amazon bought MGM, that project died.

So that's why a reboot project is more likely.

There's also their ages to consider. RDA's in his seventies, Judge is in his sixties while Shanks and Tapping are in their fifties. And while I'm sure they're reasonably fit and healthy, running around through Vancouver's pine forests might be something they'll have to leave in the past.

And as much as I love SG-1 (or perhaps because I love SG-1) I do NOT want to see it get the Picard S3 treatment.

If Amazon is going to do a project like this, I don't think the actors will run around in the woods. The original TV series would probably be a different, higher-budget job. Considering that the actors are B-class actors and that Amazon hasn't added these TV series to Prime Video worldwide, it's more likely that any work related to this franchise will be a reboot.

If it is a sequel they'll probably bring in a younger main cast who will be the actual team that actually goes running around in the Vancouver forests or California deserts or whatever, and any returning original casts members will probably be running things at SGC. My guess would be that we'd maybe get Sam or Daniel running things at the SGC, with any other returning characters just making occasional guest appearances. I really can't see the whole team being back and going on missions on a regular basis at this point, both from a real world and in universe position.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Loved Stargate SG1 and Atlantis so much, hated Universe at the time but revisiting it many years later I loved it too. If SGU was made today in the streaming era, it would have been huge.

I even got a kick out of Stargate infinity, which has a hilarious/amazing theme song.

The less said about Stargate Origins, the better. It's like a fan film and not a good one.

IF a new Stargate show happens, I'd rather have it as a soft reboot. Still connected to the OG movie, and with elements from the OG show. But go a different direction.
