MGM, Warner Bros Reboot ‘Stargate’

[Wangman Page]

Big day for reboots. First it was Cliffhanger, and now MGM and Warner Bros. announced they are teaming with Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin to create a re-imagined trilogy based on the sci-fi hit Stargate, one of the biggest titles in the MGM library. Emmerich, who directed and co-wrote the original film with Devlin, is on board to direct this one, with Devlin producing. Those two are already hard at work on a new version of Independence Day at Fox.

MGM’s Gary Barber called Emmerich and Devlin “world-class creators of the original Stargate,†and said they will “bring their reinvigorated vision of this wildly popular property to audiences of multiple generations.â€

gateSaid Emmerich and Devlin: “The Stargate universe is one that we missed terribly, and we cannot wait to get going on imagining new adventures and situations for the trilogy. This story is very close to our hearts, and getting the chance to revisit this world is in many ways like a long lost child that has found its way back home.†MGM’s Jonathan Glickman will oversee it with Warner Bros’ Greg Silverman. Warners will distribute with MGM handling some international territories. Back in its day, Stargate set the record for highest October gross and did near $200 million in global ticket sales. It went on to have a very successful run as a syndicated TV series.

Well I would like to say I am shocked but I am not. The Stargate Universe has a lot stories it can tell but I hope that they can do well with the trilogy. The thing that got me was them making a Cliffhanger remake really, is it really needed. I saw it not long ago on AMC and it is still great no need for a remake.

Didn't paramount do the original cliffhanger?

There's a ride at Canada's Wonderland named after such movie.

There was? Which ride was that? I remember Tomb Raider and Top Gun, but since Cedar Point took over they've changed the names and there's no movie themed rides anymore. Oh, they also had the Italian Job ride, but it's been renamed as well.

It's the one ride that flips you upside down while you get sprayed.

Actually, I've now been informed that it has had a name change. And is called the riptide.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that ride. All I really remember about it was that it was beside Dragon Fire. :
