Talk:Roland Emmerich

message: Someone should add that he has been called "derivative" by film maker Terry Gilliam, as one can see in the extras for Terry Gilliam's 2004 film Tideland.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.78.183.102 (talk) 10:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticisms

message: Why does Emmerich seem to hate history and physics so much? Inaccuracy's in films are perfectly normal, but Emmerich seems to take these to the next level, furthermore he attempts to portray his films as being accurate, despite how radically inaccuratea they usually are. This is all so much so that it really makes me suspect that he must have had some bad experiences with his history and science teachers.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.46.5.216 (talk) 15:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hated some teacher's in school 

message: this has been rumored for at least 3 years now, and I can't find a single article to prove that there was ever was a live action version in the works with Emmerich hired to be in the director's chair. please respond to this before posting otherwise -- Jombage 02:01, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alleged Dragon Ball Z movie 

message: Hello, I would like to ask a thing: is this true that Emmerich will make a movie titled "Kordian Cyberpunk", based on a drama by Juliusz Słowacki? I have seen a few trailers on you tube, however it hink they're fake. Thanks for help

thread_title: Kordian Cyberpunk ??

message: "In his scathing review of Stargate, noted film critic Roger Ebert compared Emmerich's skills to those of infamous director Ed Wood.[32] Emmerich responded by including an arrogant character named after and based on Ebert in Godzilla. Ebert has since complimented Emmerich's directorial abilities in his positive reviews of The Patriot and The Day After Tomorrow.[33][34]"
The way this is phrased, it makes it sound as though the two clauses are related.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.233.246 (talk) 20:27, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. I wrote this part a long time ago. Now I see it might go against WP:SYNTH but it was not my intention to say that one thing led the other. Should it just be removed altogether? Because many other critics have had many things to say (good and bad) about Emmerich and this just focuses on one of them, Roger Ebert. -- Jombage (talk) 12:14, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

There is clearly someone who is trying to distant Emmerich from anti-relgious views despite him being so open about the subject. His last 9 interviews you can Google include him talking about his religious views.  This is a subject that is very much a part of him.  The same person that is excluding his strong feelings against certain religion is also hiding the fact he is Jewish from his bio despite how many different people included it. I AM JEWISH. Yet, I can't seem to include this element on his page.  A person's religion is included in many people's wiki pages and should especially be included in a page where the person has a very strong agenda concerning religion. Please STOP excluding this information. You are doing both my faith and wiki readers an injustice by trying to exclude this element.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.84.125.216 (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of  Emmerich and 2012 

message: "The release date for Anonymous coincided with the completion of the 13th Baktun, the date which marks the empirical base for Emmerich's film 2012, as this is celebrated by the surviving indigenous Maya, specifically the Quiché people."
Anonymous was released on October 28, 2011 (12.19.19.15.6 on the Long Count calendar)
The completion of the 13th baktun is December 20, 2012 (12.19.19.17.19)
Followed by the start of the 14th baktun on December 21, 2012 (13.0.0.0.0)
I'm no expert on the Long Count, but I'm pretty sure this statement from the article is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.22.112.122 (talk) 11:38, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  13th Baktun 

message: The article says "Emmerich has also directed three other very successful box office fims that weren't disaster films, which were Stargate (1994), Godzilla (1998) (...)" - So Godzilla is not a disaster film? Based on the amount of destruction going on in the movie, it could well be considered one. 129.69.215.20 (talk) 10:11, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Both Stargate and Day After Tomorrow faced lawsuits (in the US and Germany, respectively) for plagiarism.
The US lawsuit ended in a settlement; the German lawsuit was thrown out.  Seems potentially relevant, but hard to state neutrally.  – SJ + 17:11, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Complaints of unoriginality + plagiarism? 

message: Hello fellow wikipedians,
Last time when I scrolled the internet for news articles around stargate I came across one article(in Dutch) stating that Roland Emmerich is currently trying to create a new stargate movie. Although this is the first time I have heard it I do not know where they have sourced it from so if anyone can confirm this might be interesting to add.
The article in question(Dutch, might wanna use google translate)

thread_title:  New Stargate Movie 

message: In the section "Hollywood director", this term occurs twice (both times wikilinked).
Can someone please get rid of this jargon, and replace it with an explanation  of what the development problems were, e.g. financial, legal, whatever? If the term were self-explanatory, it wouldn't need to be a wikilink. 
I would do this myself, but I don't have information about the nature of the development problems. The best I can do is to replace the first use with a brief gloss of "development hell", and de-linkify the second; which I will go ahead and do in a day or two, if someone else doesn't get there first.
