And after seeing some of Emmerich's recent movies, I actually shudder to think what he might do to a reboot. I think the dude peaked in the 90s. They should just let sleeping dogs lie, unless they intend to do the concept justice.
Over the years, having heard this rumor off and on, I have to say it sounds a little... I dunno, petulant? Indignant? Like Emmerich and/or Devlin are willing to disregard the popularity of the show by completely ignoring the canon, and therefore they must think fans of the series aren't really that important. I mean, by disregarding series canon, it's like they're saying "no, the plots of the show weren't part of the original concept, it's stupid. Here, this is how it was *really* to be."
Don't get me wrong, I don't want anything gratuitous. One of the reasons I love Serenity so much is because it honestly seemed to try to wrap things up. It had actual plot to impart, not just give the fans one more scene of Mal being Mal, or Jayne wearing his silly hat with Vera lifted over his shoulder. So if I get to watch a new Stargate film, I don't just want it to be a conglomeration of "space monkeys" and "Indeed" moments, just trying to feed us the highlights of the series.
If they can't give me something of quality, then I'm content to rewatch my DVDs again and again and again.
