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!!

I'm not surprised either, seeing as they aren't even writing the thing yet. According to Joe M, they've got an outline, but the SGU ep is more urgent. Do these (supposedly professional) people not understand the difference between a 42 minute script for a TV episode that lots of people would watch regardless of quality because that's just what they do on Friday nights, and a 100-something minute script for a movie that people will be expected to buy on DVD? Financial crisis my arse.

Its easy to blame the financial crisis for everything, isn't it?

"Hey, I just broke a nail" "Yeah, that happens these days..."

Karma will say : Hey, I can't watch SGU, the financial crisis made me cancel my subscription to Sci-fi :p
