The writers of Independance Day 2 are writing the new Stargate movie. http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/entry/view/id/907328 Any thoughts? I personally don't think it should be rebooted but I feel with writers other than emmerich and devlin, the movie may be ok.

New writers could mean new ideas from someone who hasn't had their creativity drained or their spirit crushed by being in the industry too long. Remember when everyone here was demanding new writers for Atlantis and SGU because they were tired of the seeing the same stories remade over and over with a different set of characters? Now you have the new writers and it's the worst thing ever!
New might be scary to a lot of people but it doesn't automatically mean bad. Give this movie a chance. Or the Stargate franchise stays dead for a very long time.

Anyway, thoughts on the writers, I have no faith in them.

I hope the new movies will spark interests about the tv shows I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love SG-1, SGA and SGU, but they just didn't have a chance to watch it yet And as for the movies... I'll probably watch them out of curiousity and because that's the only new Stargate we can get.sigpic

I still don't care about this film, I'm rewatching SG1 again and plan on doing the same for SGA and SGU. That's the Stargate I want, although if the disaster film addicts Emmerich and Devlin aren't writing then perhaps it will be at least a good sci-fi film. The most hope I have is that it brings enough attention for a TV continuation, but even though I couldn't see happening in a way I would enjoy.

So, not every time new writers add something better to the franchise. They can lack the same stupidness old writers can lack. It depends on vision and talent, if you ask me.
Anyway, a new SG movie sounds promising. It will be interesting to find out what the movie-storyline could add new to the whole franchise. I am looking forward to it

First reaction.
How serious are they with this reboot to give the writing job to struggling TV actors. I understand its the lesser of the "Star****" franchises, but i expected a higher level of experience to be attached to the project. They're rebooting a freaking franchise with a trilogy for crying out loud.
On the plus side, they're Canadians, so theres that in common with the TV series writers.

Put the two of them together and everything they write must automatically be a timeless classic!

I'm not condemning it all just yet.

Since I don't know anything about them, I'm just going to wait for the movie trailers to see if it looks like they made a worthwhile film. I'm actually kind of glad no well-known names are attached as of yet because I think each of those people have a known style, and that could get in the way. I'm still wishing this project the best.
