Stargate news, kinda.
(the cake is a lie, but I wanted the chevron)
In completely puzzling news, Roland Emmerich is hoping to do a Stargate movie reboot/sequel, as a trilogy of movies. As far as I can tell from other articles, he plans to completely ignore the almost 15 years' worth of existing tv canon, and just go back to what he had in 1994.
I mean, I liked the movie a lot! But seriously, at this point the tv universe has completely eclipsed it, and I have no idea how he could do a trilogy without pulling in some kind of "and it turns out Ra wasn't alone after all", which kinda brings you right to the Goa'uld as presented in Stargate SG-1, so... the hell?
Also, hey, go Hollywood on this drive to originality. This reboot notion came along with the sequel for Independence Day, for its 20-year anniversary.

cesperanza's cunning plan to get people posting is ridiculously effective. I'm sitting in a living room with therienne and mollyamory, and about half an hour ago all the tv-watching and chatter ended as we realized that whoops, it was 11, and time to start writing our posts for the day. So now there's nothing but typing and time-checks going on. Heh.
