Stargate
Independence DayandStargatewriter / producer Dean Devlin is no longer involve with either sci - fi franchise . Devlin collaborated with Roland Emmerich on a trio of sci - fi motion-picture show in the 1990s ( Universal Soldier , Stargate , andIndependence Day ) , putting both of their public figure on the single-valued function in the process . All three have since give rise to franchise that include multiple film and TV movie sequels forUniversal Soldier , multiple TV series spinoffs forStargate , and a big - budget motion picture sequel ( unloose twenty years after the fact ) forIndependence Day .
start to the present tense and all three properties have lost much of their lustre . Universal Soldierhas been relegated to made - for - cable television movie status for awhile , Stargateis return to boob tube after Devlin and Emmerich’sStargatemovie boot trilogy plansfell apart , and the long - awaited followupIndependence Day : Resurgencewas a box office disappointment two year ago . Devlin has n’t been flat involved with theUniversal Soldierseries for some fourth dimension now , and it sound like he ’s putting his day on theStargateandIndependence Dayfranchises behind him too .

Devlin has been wee the beat promote his offense thrillerBad Samaritanof late and he made a hitch atThe Matthew Aaron Showpodcast along the way . When asked by host Matthew Aaron if eitherIndependence Dayor theStargatereboot is still possible , Devlin admitted he does n’t know . He further indicated that his day of cook big - budget fare in general might be over :
“ I really do n’t know , after Geostorm I really came to the actualization that I ’m not the form of guy who should ever lick at studios , so I excused myself from both Stargate and from Independence Day , so they may be going forward but I do n’t know , I ’m not involved any longer . ”
During our own recent consultation with Devlin , the filmmaker further emphasize that he feels he ’s done get to studio apartment movie :
" You know , I do n’t screw what the studio is planning in terms of doing [ Independence Day 3 ] or continuing the franchise , I really have no idea . But if the franchise keep , it will be continuing without me . I really intend that my time work at studio apartment is over . "
For those not familiar , the sci - fi raw disaster thrillerGeostorm(which Devlin wrote and directed ) was something of a disaster itself . The plastic film travel through strong reshoots andearned some pretty brutal reviewswhen it hit theaters last year . Geostormofficially cost $ 120 million to make but the real budget is belike importantly eminent . Either room , its $ 222 million worldwide revenue was n’t enough to cover its expenditure and the whole experience seems to have intelligibly turn Devlin off of constitute adult - budget studio films for the time being .
Devlin confirmed that he has"no plans"forIndependence Day 3earlier this class , but it ’s clear that exsert to theStargatereboot and studio tentpoles in ecumenical now . The domain of blockbusters and consultation expected value have both interchange substantially since Devlin got his big start in the ' 90s , so low - budgeted transportation and television shows ( like his of late - cancelled seriesThe Librarians ) might be more creatively satisfying for Devlin now anyway . Since Emmerich also looks like move off from big - budget spectacle after theIndependence Daysequel , perhaps he and Devlin will see something a piddling different to collaborate on next instead .
