Should they make a new Stargate movie for theaters?
After re-watching Firefly and Serenity, I recalled how I was drawn into Firefly.
I didn't catch the series prior to it's cancellation, instead I was drawn in by Serenity.
This made me think, could TPtB make a feature length Stargate movie for theaters (again) that is capable of attracting a new audience, while at the same time preforming fan service?
I have thought of a few "guidelines" for such a movie:
-The story would have to be self-contained. It can't draw heavily on past SG-1 events, but can draw on the current setting. Wrapping up loose ends is something suited for a straight to dvd movie.
-A new character would have to be introduced. This character would be introduced to the SGC, SG-1, and Stargate tech alongside new audience members. Hopefully, this can be done in a non-intrusive way that flows with the movie, and doesn't feel like one big chunk of "introduction time".
>Idea for opening scene. First setting is introduced, then the antagonist/conflict, then Cam heads towards the briefing room to meet said new character. Along the way he bumps into each SG-1 member doing something that they would normally do (think how Serenity began). He would enter the briefing room, with O'Neil and Landry introducing this movie's John Myers (cookie for those who get how that relates).
-A multi-dimensional villain. I don't want to see a villian simply seeking power, I want to know the antagonists motives, I want an antagonist who truly believes they are doing the right thing.
>Idea for villain. High ranking Lucien Alliance member with the same mentality as
, where the antagonist believes that the Taur'i are irresponsible, selfish and don't care about the after effects of creating a power vacuum.
Of course, this is all just spit-balling, you guys can contribute your ideas, but the question stands, should their be a new theatrical Stargate movie?
