‘Stargate’ sequels (Note: NOT SG-1)

GateWorld – News: Devlin optimistic about ‘Stargate’ sequels

Dean Devlin, producer of the original 1994 movie Stargate, seems to be moving forward with two sequels to the film, which was apparently meant as the kickoff to a trilogy from the beginning.

Devlin was never a big supporter of what has become a record-breaking TV spinoff of his creation, though he says he is proud of Stargate: SG-1 for its success.

In fact, the article states:

Devlin also believes that his original mythology can coexist with the hit TV series, the events of which picked up one year after the end of the film. “I think the series could still live at the end of the third sequel,” he said. “So we’re going to try to not tread on their stories.”

I’m not sure how he’s going to pull that off, given that SG-1‘s story starts 1 year after the movie ends, and the new movies would begin 12 years after the first movie (2 years after the current timeline in the show). But I’m also perfectly happy to see the alternate version of the story as originally intended, and can separate it from the SG-1 show canon. After all, there were one or two leaps that had to be made to get from the movie to the show originally. I’m content to treat them somewhat separately.

The difficulty is going to be when they start releasing SG-1 or Atlantis movies. That’s when the general public is going to get confused, I think.
