Let's say someone else wanted to create a movie or show based on the same general concept as Stargate. People from out time travelling to other earth-like planets through a wormhole gateway like a stargate. Maybe military of civilian or a mix of both. So long as they didn't use the word stargate is this legal? Fan films aside, I'm talking a for profit independent production.
I've always loved the concept, ever since I saw the first movie three times at the theater. Was thrilled to see SG1 come about a handful of years later and expand on it. As much as I love the movie and the shows I've always felt like a version of this concept that was both darker and more realistic would be really cool to see. SGU tried to go this direction but was still heavily influenced by the franchise format as a whole.
A complete reboot would have been cool. So what if one of us wanted to do it but not call it stargate?
