Not only has MGM's Stargate SG-1 started its record breaking 10th season on the SciFi Network (beating out The X-Files to be the longest running science-fiction series in America) but there's been some fresh news out of the San Diego Comic Con that bears repeating for fans of the original film and the show.According to ComingSoon.net Dean Devlin has signed a multi-picture deal with MGM and would like to make two sequels to the original Stargate, completing his mythological space saga the way he and co-creator Roland Emmerich had always intended to. Apparently, like every other filmmaker since Lucas 'pre-planned' the whole Star Wars saga, they originally envisioned the Stargate story to be a trilogy taking a good, long, Conradian look at mythology and its origins and how they all tie in together through the Stargate.
Could be interesting, could be the next Matrix sequels.
On the plus side, Devlin admitted that the Stargate SG-1 series is an international success and commented on how the third Stargate film would ideally end where the series takes off with its first episode/telefilm, "Children of the Gods". Considering he's also stated 'on the record' (through the wonders of DVD commentary on the special edition of Stargate) that he thinks the show is total crap, I'm kind of enjoying the about face.
Later!
