Stargate Atlantis movie - on hold?

[wraithfodder]

Have read a couple very brief mentions that the Stargate Atlantis movie has been 'temporarily shelved' due to the finanial climate. Apparently Kavan Smith told fans this at the Pegasus 4 convention. Anybody have any more details? Thanks!!

If rumours of the SGA movie being shelved for the time being turn out to be fact, then I think it'd be a rational and reasonable financial decision on the part of TPTB if the reasoning is the present economic crisis.

They stand to gain more (financially) from a brand new series that stands to run for 2 seasons or more, than they stand to gain from producing a one-off tv-movie for a canceled series.

There's probably no word on SG-1 because its production is so far off as to no be worth talking about yet.
