Back in 1994, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin wowed sci-fi audiences with Stargate. This original feature re-imagined ancient mythology as a reflection of not the divine, but the otherworldly. The Egyptian sun god Ra, played by Jaye Davidson, was not so much a spiritual entity who interacted with humanity, but rather an alien overlord awaiting his inevitable return. So, when an ancient stargate is found in Giza, the world is threatened by the possibility of another incursion. Kurt Russell and James Spader starred in the film as Col. Jack O'Neil and Dr. Daniel Jackson, respectively, who venture through the portal to a whole new world. But did you know that there were originally plans to make not just a sequel to Stargate, but a whole trilogy?
