Lange wurde davon gemunkelt, jetzt ist es offiziell: Roland Emmerich rebootet nicht nur seinen eigenen Film, sondern auch gleich das gesamte Franchise als Film-Trilogie!

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, together with Emmerich and Dean Devlin, are partnering to launch a new feature film trilogy that reimagines 1994's Stargate. The announcement was made today by Gary Barber, MGM’s Chairman and CEO. Emmerich, who directed and co-wrote the original film with Devlin, is confirmed to direct and Devlin will produce.


Barber said, “We couldn’t be more excited to once again partner with Roland and Dean, the world-class creators of the original 'Stargate,' to bring their reinvigorated vision of this wildly popular property to audiences of multiple generations.” He added, “'Stargate' is one of the biggest titles in MGM’s vast library, and we look forward to adding this great franchise to our slate.”

“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,” said Emmerich and Devlin.
