Stargate Atlantis: David Hewlett Says Goodbye to Stargate: Atlantis

David Hewlett Says Goodbye to Stargate: Atlantis

http://www.tvguide.com/News/David-Hewlett-Says-1001310.aspx

excerpt:

David Hewlett has played the arrogant and often irritating Rodney McKay on Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis since 2002. As the series comes to an end Friday (9 pm/ET, Sci Fi), David reminisced with TVGuide.com about his adventures playing the obnoxious McKay, what is was like smooching pal and cast mate Jewel Staite (Dr. Jennifer Keller) and the possibility of appearing in the upcoming Stargate movie.

TVGuide.com: I spoke to your costar Jewel Staite—
David Hewlett: She's a liar. Everything she says, absolute lies! Don't believe a word of it!

Ah, now if they could just interview Joe (I know they won't but I can dream).

I find it disturbing that it sounds like he hasn't even been signed on for the movie yet.

Can you imagine an Atlantis movie without McKay? I'd boycott!

Atlantis wouldn't be the same at all. I wouldn't watch it either honestly.

I don't think anybody has yet. Don't know what the hold up is but they can't do a movie without the team.

why wouldn't they interview Joe?

Cuz the show ends in two days and after that, it will be old news (at least that's the way TV Guide usually works).

I'm still just sad he isn't he 11th doctor. Not that he was really in contention. But one can dream...

If he could only guest star in one, as a really good villain!

I would have thought they'd be trying to make sure they had the cast locked in for the SGA movie. But meh, what do you expect.

Eh, it's Hollywood. Who knows what the holdup is..

I just hope there's gonna be a move.

Me too

Alas this confirm that TPTB couldn't care less about the SGA movie :(. None of the actors confirmed yet, no story written yet, and everybody being too busy trying to tell people that the new show will be "super awesome giga fun" :s.

Blah, at least I've got SGA DVD's and I can organise simulcasts with friends to remember the goodness that SGA used to be :) (okay, okay, I'll admit it's more to drool on the pretties, but still :p).

What's frustrating is how keen they are on SGU, and they weren't this way with SGA. Sigh...
