How about a SG1 movie with a budget of 100 mil €?

It'd never make that amount in the box office. Besides, big budget doesn't mean good movie, besides, the smaller the budget the more attention they have to pay to acting and writing, rather than special effects.Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

I think a cool SG-1 movie could be made from 20-30 million dollar. CGI aliens, CGI worlds are very expensive."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

Proper CGI is expensive . We can thank the Watchowski Brothers and George Lucas for that . Those people pushed things to the limit ... I imagine TPTB to knock on George Lucas's door : "Hey Georgie, can you give us a hand with our CGI? ILM would do such a good job with the SG Universe!!!

Earlier ILM was unique, but nowadays there are cheaper effect maker studios. I believe if the Rainmaker can get some million dollar only for special effects, they can make everything on their computers as theirs big brother, the ILM."I was hoping for another day.

Serenity was new show with very few eps, so it was easier to get a theatrical release. Even that only had a budget like $40m. Which it didn't do too good for getting that back either!
Stargate will be lucky to get back the $7m budget for the DVD movies never mind over ten times that!
If Stargate wanted to go big & have a chance of making it at the box office, they have 2 choices. Do sequels to the original movie with RE & DD featuring the original cast. Either that or start the franchise from scratch again like they did with Bond. Cut out all the stuff from SG-1. Take it right from the very beginning featuring a whole new cast with some big name stars in it. Tyhat's the only way Stargate could do anything at the box office.
Putting $100m down, using the SG-1 cast & crew then throwing it in the cinema will produce huge, huge, huge, huge losses!
Put it this way, the more money the gugs as BS have to work with, the more they'd go on the effects rather than the actual story. So giving them less money forces them to work on the script more!
