After years of speculation and endless rumors, it was officially announced today that director Roland Emmerich will be back at the helm of a new Stargate movie for MGM and Warner Bros. Emmerich, who directed the original Stargate back in 1994, is planning for this reboot to be the launching pad of a new trilogy of Stargate films. In a statement, Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin had this to say about the project:
None
There is no word on how/if this movie will tie into any of the existing Stargate TV shows, but fans should prepare themselves for a complete re-do of everything. Emmerich and Devlin are also currently reheating another of their favorites from the ‘90s with an Independence Day sequel at Fox.
