MGM also filed a trademark for 'Stargate: Origins' a few days ago

"Entertainment services in the nature of a television series and web series featuring science fiction, suspense and drama"

They also uploaded the Director's Cut of Children of the Gods to Youtube

It probably won't be anything mind blowing, but more stargate is a plus for me.
 
I'm hopeful it'll be a new show in the Two-Ls Universe and not a reboot or anything.
 
They wanted to make another "Stargate: SG1" direct-to-video film like "the Ark of Truth", but MGM has financial problems and it was scrubbed. Perhaps Origins is a new name for it? Just guessing (though it seems unlikely).

I too hope it's a continuation of some kind, not a reboot (which may change things), a remake or revisioning or any other wording that equals changing or scrubbing the TV-series universe.


Sadly, Joel Goldsmith is dead. Who to get to score it. Well, I'm for what was going on the first two seasons - multiple composers.

Give Richard Band (a friend of Joel's, who worked on the SG1 series) a budget for an orchestra.

Dennis McCarthy can still do it. More money and freedom.

I'm hesitant about Kevin Kiner. Overall he's doing terrific work on "Star Wars: Rebels", but not so much on "Stargate: SG1" and "Enterprise".


Oh course there's also David Arnold, if he''ll do it and they'll shell out for him.


Other non Stargate composers come to mind.
 
The franchise is old. It's certainly possible they"ll go with a soft-reboot (TNG style) but its also possible to get a total franchise reboot.
Especially since Emmerich wanted to reboot the film as a trilogy.
 
They have been doing novels and comics, so the franchise hasn't been totally dead. Hopefully this will be a new series or movie in the SG-1/A/U universe.
My first thought was that this was an SG-1 comic to go along with the Atlantis one, but they seem to be making a bigger deal about this than they did for the SG-A comic launch.
 
I feel kinda bad for the SG-1 cast. Everyone's talking about the announcement, no one's talking about them celebrating the 20th anniversary.
 
Word coming out of the panel is it is a Prequel Series following the initial discovery of the Stargate in 1928, will follow Catherine Langford.

Edit:

If the first 'story' goes well they'll do more origin stories on various characters.

The episodes will be 10 min each, 10 episodes roughly to begin, starting with Catherine.

This is probably the worst idea possible to continue the Stargate franchise.

Let's watch for an hour and a half as the Stargate never functions! Wow! Exciting!

Sequel at a new Stargate Command in a new location (so new sets). New team, new aliens, new threats. It's really not that difficult. Something Stargate and Star Trek can't figure out.

I think it will be fun.

We know very little about the time between '28 and '95

Plus they said they'll do more if this one does well, so I'll be watching just for that as well.
 
Nothing happens between 1928 and 1995 besides they barely got the Stargate working and lost Catherine's boyfriend in the 1950s. I mean really this seems like a useless waste of time.

But of course I'll watch as long as I don't have to pay.

I honestly would prefer this.

And she met a group of four unusual people in 1969.

^^^^
I'm sure there will be another 'untold' adventure (and they swore themselves to NEVER talk about it...) - trope. ;)
 
A cheap ass Stargate web show NOT about using the stargate to explore.

Stupid idea, not interested MGM.
 
What's so weird for me is that years ago I came up with an idea to do a Stargate series about Catherine Langford set in the 1940s. Basically an alternate version of events where they figured out how to turn on the gate and kept using it instead of shelving it until 1994. Now they're pretty much doing the same thing. I'm really curious how they'll make it interesting and consistent because if I remember Torment of Tantalus correctly, Catherine didn't know they'd used the gate until Daniel found the old footage.
 
I'm both excited for a new Stargate story... and yet also disappointed by this. I really wouldn't mind a new series altogether. I actually liked SG: Universe, but wished they'd gotten to the good stuff sooner; they kind of dragged on with getting to "the point". It could have been good in the same manner that Star Trek is, new stories and characters introduced at every new planet sort of thing.

You are correct. Catherine thought that her fiancee died in a lab explosion... she did not know that they managed to get one address to work (if they even knew that they were addresses; they probably just caught a lucky combination), and that Ernest Littlefield traveled through the gate. So how this new prequel series is going to explore ANYTHING at all is a mystery to me.
