Stargate reboot gets writers.

[Trig]

To be fair how many people rubbished the reboot of BSG before that started.
Yes the original was a classic but cheesy as **** 70's show...

Although the BSG reboot was not made by the original creators. At least it had a fresh set of eyes. The Stargate reboot will be in the hands of the original creators. Although Devlin and Emmerich are not writing, they will have a significant impact on the direction of the film.

And the original is still a classic!

I don't care who's writing the new movies, while I am very interesting in ID2...it'll take one hell of a lot to touch what'll purely be a partial SG reset decided by D+Es egos.

i keep waiting for mgm to realize this is a huge and honkin' mistake.

but at least there's still the official stargate novels. thank god! (((fandemonium)))

Agreed

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.

i also find it amusing that there's another 'wright' and 'woods' involved in stargate.

Interesting - but more amused that it's a Wright and a Woods.

I still have no interest again if I see it much bribery will be involved

I bet Fifty Shades doesn't require a bribe? And that's probably worse in quality.

[jelgate]

The only people bribed were the boyfriends who had to go see that movie. Quality is a subjective term. Some people think reality TV is quality.

Did you get bribed?

Your own personal taste is not really the point

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.

Their names sounded familiar, then I checked their profiles out on IMDB, and I realized they were both actors in a low budget Canadian film I'm fond of, called Hatley High. They have 30 and 40 acting credits, but besides a couple of short film credits for Wright, Independence Day 2 and Stargate are their first feature length writing jobs.
