SciFiNow recently spoke with Rachel Luttrell, who played Teyla Emmagan on Stargate Atlantis, about the series and the upcoming direct-to-DVD release Stargate Extinction. While she was unable to definitively confirm anything regarding the production, she did share her suspicions about when the cast and crew may reunite to shoot the feature.

“There’s a rumour that it’ll start shooting in November,” said Luttrell in a telephone interview on Friday evening. “That once [Stargate] Universe is done with its season production then we’ll move into it, but none of that has been confirmed.” Production on the series is still in the embryonic stages however, with none of the cast aware of the plot yet or basic details. “You know what, I wish I could [tell you about Extinction], in fact it’s sad to say but you’ve actually revealed the title to me before I knew it,” the actress admitted. “We know nothing about it, and by we, I mean my fellow actors and I. We haven’t had an opportunity to read anything or to talk with our writers about it yet.”

I love how the studio keeps the actors informed.... *cough*

It was sorta sad really and Rachell seems like a very even keel type of person but I believe I noted a 'hint' of annoyance. LOL It was the 'you've revealed the title to me' quote among others.

I wonder, do any of the actors from SGA have a 'good' relationship with TPTB? I think Robert Picardo might and it may just be me, but I get this weird vibe that if you're not 'important' enough, like RDA or Picardo or Carlyle, they just don't make an effort i.e. the respect they accord is in direct relationship to the standing of the actor. Ah, I'm just being a conspiracy theorist, I'm sure. Thanks for the article, appreciate it.

That is messed up, poor Rachel. :/ The stepchildren comment seems about right, or possibly SGA as the middle child? SG1, the oldest, got all the attention for a good while and yeah, when SGA first came along the parents were happy, but then they got word that SGU was coming and all their attention went to the new...baby...show...thing. I'll stop before that disturbs me any further.

Is the ordering of the actors on the imdb site relevant? Because they've got Jewel Staite first and Amanda Tapping second, followed by Joe and David respectively. Jason and Rachel are sixth and seventh on the list after Robert Picardo. :/ I don't know how I feel about my SGA cast being bumped down in their own movie.

Gosh, I feel for Rachel and the rest of the cast. I'm glad to see outside my circle of SGA's friends that I have discussed this with that other fans of the show are wondering what kind of relationship that TPTB have with the actors of the show. I have come to the conclusion for sometime that there do seems to be some issues especially after some of the stuff that I have read in the past few months.

Before, I was upset with the writing. The comfort zone that the writers seem to be stuck in. And the way this show was cancelled; smell of foul. To me it also shows what little respect that the TBTB has for us their audience as well.

I feel sorry for the actors of SGU because I refuse to support anything else with these producers that is not directly related to the SGA movie, and that at the moment I look at with trepidation.
