The ‘Stargate’ Reboot Isn’t Happening Anytime Soon

Watch HD Films

Audiences weren’t too keen to jump back into the world of Independence Day this past summer. Roland Emmerich‘s all-around underwhelming sequel failed to match half the success of its predecessor. The pricey sequel didn’t connect with audiences, meaning we probably won’t see Independence Day 3‘s intergalactic journey anytime soon. Another sequel we maybe shouldn’t expect from Stonewall director Roland Emmerich? The Stargate one he’s been planning a long time.

Below, learn more about why the Stargate reboot isn’t happening.



Back in 2013, Emmerich announced the Stargate sequel/reboot. The director wanted to do a Stargate trilogy, which would somehow continue the story of the 1994 movie. Emmerich’s original film never launched a sequel, although there were successful television shows (Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis) based on the same core concept: a mysterious portal discovered in the desert can transport humans to a distant alien world. That alien world is ultimately a letdown in the film, but there’s worse company to have than Kurt Russell and James Spader in a decent enough sci-fi movie.

It’s unknown if either actor would’ve returned for the reboot/sequel, but producer Dean Devlin told Empire it recently fell apart anyway:


It looked good for a couple of months, but now it’s not looking so good. There are just a lot of things that have to fire at the same time, and there was a moment where I thought it was all firing at the same time, and then it all kind of fell apart. It’s one of the reasons I prefer to work independently. Listen, I think if we did Stargate right, the fans would like it and we could do something really good. But if we screw it up, they’ll reject it. As they should. But I kind of don’t want to do it if I think that we’ll screw it up, and that’s one of the things that’s holding us back.

The original Stargate was made independently, while the reboot would involve both Warner Bros. and MGM. The producer added:


You’d have several studios involved and a lot of voices and, you know, you may make something great, but you also may have something that doesn’t resemble what you wanted to do. That kind of ‘collaboration’ is a terrifying aspect of the whole thing.’

The last we heard about the Stargate reboot was that Independence Day: Resurgence writers, Nicolas Wright and James A. Woods, were writing it. What their script was about we don’t know, but a decade ago, Devlin told IGN the sequel they first imagined in 1994 was going to take place 12 years later and follow the same group of characters. Both Devlin and Emmerich have always expressed interest in a Stargate trilogy, but it looks like they’ll have to wait a while longer to try to make it happen again. Watch HD Movies Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Free

‘Better Call Saul’ Season 3 First Look: Slippin’ Jimmy Is Back, and So Is Cinnabon Gene

Watch Movies HD

Hours ago we got a peek behind the scenes of Better Call Saul season two. Now we’ve got a little look ahead at season three, which will premiere in 2017.

As a spinoff to Breaking Bad, one of the most acclaimed TV dramas of all time, Better Call Saul came pre-loaded with massive hype and sky-high expectations. And the show has delivered. Over the course of its first two seasons, Better Call Saul has proven to be a worthy successor and complement to that earlier series — but it’s also emerged as its own thing, hilarious and thrilling and surprisingly heart-wrenching. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for Slippin’ Jimmy, so click on through to see some Better Call Saul season 3 first look photos.

The first picture above shows series co-creator Vince Gilligan sitting with star Bob Odenkirk, who’s in his Gene getup. So it looks like we can definitely expect a flash forward to Jimmy/Saul’s post-Breaking Bad life as an anonymous Cinnabon manager. Everything we’ve seen of Gene’s life so far looks sad and lonely, and his sensible sack lunch isn’t really helping to change that perception. But who knows what’s to come with this show?

Case in point: the other photo shows Jimmy in the same room as big brother Chuck (Michael McKean), chatting quite amiably despite their relationship becoming mired in mutual betrayal last season. Chuck looks as happy and healthy as he ever has on the show (which isn’t saying much, but still), and Jimmy is holding a copy of The Adventures of Mabel for some reason. Is this just the calm before the inevitable storm? Remember, season two ended with Chuck guilting Jimmy into an admission of guilt… which he secretly recorded to use against his brother in court. Yeah, there’s no way that ends well.

As for what to expect from Better Call Saul season three, no one’s revealing too much just yet. But Mike’s plotline seems to be moving toward the introduction of a certain Breaking Bad villain. And perhaps Marie (Betsy Brandt) will finally get her chance to cameo after getting axed from the season two finale. We’ll find out more as the spring 2017 season three premiere inches closer.
