Stargate: 10 Behind The Scenes Secrets You Never Knew About Children Of The Gods

10. Dean Devlin And Roland Emmerich Were Not Fans Of The Idea

The original movie in 1994 was written by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, and they very much wanted to create sequels for their own project. This got very awkward when MGM informed them that this was not a direction they were interested in pursuing.

For years, the pair of them harboured ill-will toward the series for this very reason. While Devlin spoke on the issue, he said that he appreciates it for what it is, though he doesn't see it as a continuation of his own idea. Rather, he sees it as another story altogether, one that just happens to feature some characters and ideas that he and Emmerich created.

Back in 1996, when Jonathan Glassner and Brad Wright were working on Children Of The Gods, they sought advice from the pair on how to work forward from the movie's story. Devlin and Emmerich flat out refused to meet with them, though they did state that it wasn't personal. It was simply their way of protesting the studio's decision.
