Stargate Atlantis movie news, sorta...

[wraithfodder]

SciFi had an article on "New Stargate movies finally ready to begin shooting?" which is more or less, well, not news... http://scifiwire.com/2009/09/amanda-tapping-new-starga.php

EXCERPT: Amanda Tapping says that a new Stargate SG-1 movie could begin production later this year, as soon as the first season of Syfy's upcoming SGU: Stargate Universe wraps. A new straight-to-DVD movie was announced a while back.

"As far as I know, we may start in late fall or early winter this year," Tapping said in an exclusive interview. "And I will slip back into Sam Carter very nicely; I'm looking forward to it.
...........
What about a new Stargate Atlantis movie? "Atlantis is still being talked about for this year," [Martin] Wood said. "Right now, I'm so far removed from it, but they'll let me know, and I'm happy to do it."

REST of article at link above; mostly just supposition and stuff I could swear I've already read in another article just recently. While it says nothing about a green light on the SGA movie (and I'll believe the SG1 movie is being made when it's listed in Variety), I guess at least it keeps the name in the public (sorta) eye.

NOTE: Article was originally titled "New Stargate SG-1 movie in works" and then mysteriously changed to "New Stargate movies finally read to begin shooting?" Hmm....

JM has said words to the effect that JF is really a nasty person in public (apparently because he asked JM to quit taking pics of everyone between shots?)

But, JF has been nothing but approachable and open about the lack of progress on the SGA movie & the PTBs.

JM = Mr. Pompous Wanna-be Food Critic, Joe Mallozzi - one of the men who decided to kill off Weir because they "wanted to shake things up." (Meaning, Torri Higginson wanted to have a more involved role for Elizabeth and heaven forbid that she should want that... a woman wanting that? :-p)

The problems with acronyms. I believe they meant Joe Mallozzi, Executive Producer of SGA>
