That reminds me of an interesting trend I noticed-
Stargate SG-1 = Star Trek: The Next Generation - Basic formula of crew focusing on exploration.
Stargate Atlantis = Star Trek: DS9 - Both crews on a remote station that they didn't build but merely "inherited", guarding an important passage vital to the safety of their home from a powerful and populous enemy.
Stargate Universe = Star Trek: Voyager - Both crews stuck on a spaceship an impossibly far distance from Earth trying to get back home.
Therefore, I can only conclude that the next Stargate series would have been a prequel series that would have been about an SG team in the 1930s yet somehow still have the same level of technology as SG-1.![]()
Better start saving for a bunch of new props hitting the market![]()
The reason the Stargate franchise has a strong fanbase isn't because of one average movie from 20 years ago, it's because of 17 seasons and 350+ episodes of great television that built up its own detailed and interesting mythology (a lot of which required retconning the movie), and a lot of beloved characters, that this will all wipe away for some quick and easy cash.
I predict that this new Stargate movie will fail, as others have said before, there's just too many fans of SG-1 and its sequels that are not going to like this movie and won't go to see it and I don't think that the original has enough of a following to rely on that fanbase. Then there's the casual movie going audience, I'm not sure that they're going to want to see a remake of a somewhat obscure sci-fi movie from how many years ago? I really wish MGM would just give us another Stargate series on TV, something grounded like SG-U but with a little more humor and not quite so dark like SG-1 & Atlantis.

I can't wait:facepalm OH NO I'll have to build another style of gate, my wife is going to kill me

20 years. A lot better than the last Spider-man reboot
I thought SG-1 had plenty of humor.
INDEED
Like what, exactly?

I think you misread my post, I meant more humor than SG-U, like in SG-1 & Atlantis.
