All three have since given rise to franchises that include multiple film and TV movie sequels for Universal Soldier, multiple TV series spinoffs for Stargate, and a big-budget movie sequel (released twenty years after the fact) for Independence Day.
Universal Soldier has been relegated to made-for-cable movie status for awhile, Stargate is returning to TV after Devlin and Emmerich’s Stargate movie reboot trilogy plans fell apart, and the long-awaited followup Independence Day: Resurgence was a box office disappointment two years ago.
Devlin hasn’t been directly involved with the Universal Soldier series for some time now, and it sounds like he’s putting his days on the Stargate and Independence Day franchises behind him too.
Devlin collaborated with Roland Emmerich on a trio of sci-fi films in the 1990s (Universal Soldier, Stargate, and Independence Day), putting both of their names on the map in the process.
