Veteran sci-fi writer and producer Dean Devlin accepted the Dr. Donald A. Reed Founder’s Award at this year’s Saturn Awards but he made news speaking to the website Collider about future projects including at least two more Stargate movies with director Roland Emmerich.
“The irony is that we wrote it as a trilogy of movies, but we were never able to do parts two and three,” Devlin told Collider. “Our hope is that, now that the series is starting to wind down, that maybe it’ll be time to do parts two and three. So we’re hopeful we’ll get to come back and tell the rest of that story.”
Devlin also confirmed plans to bring back the leads from the Stargate movie and tweak the story to explain the long passage of time between the movie adventures and incorporate all the action and characters from the various spin-off shows.
“We wanted to explore how the Stargates were built originally and where else in the universe they exist, why they exist and where else they exist on Earth.”
Up next for Devlin is writing work on Isobar, about a futuristic train on a crash course for New York, and directing the supernatural thriller Ghosting, about a cop who travels between the world of the living the world of the dead.
