Stargate: Origins Feels Like a Saturday Matinee Serial
Stargate: Origins has released a new trailer and it has that Saturday matinee serial feel to it, which is perfect as it is going to be released as a series of ten 10-minute episodes for a total of 100 minutes of story. Launched in 1994 with the Stargate film from Roland Emmerich and starring Kurt Russell and James Spader, the franchise continued on television with Stargate SG-1, which ran for 10 seasons and over 200 episodes from 1997 to 2007. Now a brand new prequel series shows fans how it all started lead by popular character Catherine Langford.
In 1939, Professor Paul Langford and his daughter Catherine are still grappling with the mysteries of the ancient relic they discovered in the Egyptian desert more than ten years ago. With war looming in Europe and funding running out, these brilliant minds are approaching their lowest ebb. Little do they know, answers are about to present themselves in a dangerous form, when the Nazi Occultist Dr. Wilhelm Brücke approaches their facility with a sinister motive. Enlisting the help of two young soldiers, Catherine must use all of her wit and nous as she and her new allies embark on an adventure into the unknown to rescue her father, and save the Earth from an unimaginable darkness.
The series stars Ellie Gall, Connor Trinneer, Philip Alexander and Shvan Aladdin.
