Director Roland Emmerich has revealed that he's planning to reboot the 90s movie 'Stargate' into a new trilogy.



Originally a 1994 fantasy sci-fi movie starring James Spader and Kurt Russell, it was later expanded as 'Stargate SG-1' for TV, running for 10 seasons.



Some straight-to-dvd movies also appeared, along with a spin-off TV series including 'Stargate Atlantis' and 'Stargate Universe'.

Now Emmerich, who conceived the original idea with fellow filmmaker Dean Devlin, is planning to bring it back to the big screen.



“We went to MGM, who has the rights, and proposed to them to do a sequel, but as a reboot... and reboot it as a movie and then do three parts. Pretty soon we'll have to look for a writer and start,” he told Digital Spy.



Russell and Spader won't be returning to reprise their roles of no-nonsense special forces man Jack O'Neil and linguist poindexter Daniel Jackson, however.

“The actors look totally different... it would not work,” he added.



Since when has that mattered?!



Emmerich's latest actioner, 'White House Down', is out on September 13, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx.
