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....

Of course the article's title changed. The headline didn't reflect the material below it, so the head was changed.

I'm dismayed that an SGA movie may not come to pass this year, next year or ever. I've heard that it's the economy, or that the sound stages are being used for SGU, or the actors couldn't all commit at the same time. I hope that SGU is good because some people have come to rely on their Gate fixes to keep them perky.

All of these reasons are wrong. I heard it was coz the lack of tha fans, the crisis, the DVD sales turn down. I've never heard about commitment of the actors. The main cast want the movie but they don't get any idea about the real reason of the cancellation. After one year I can't blame them to move on and think to their career.
when we heard as cancellation reason was to get a great opportunity to move one to a big format.
SGU would be great? WOW
read futon critic. I'm afraid not.

I think at this rate it would be better not to publish articles, since they're either erroneous in some part, or just pure speculation (It's hard to do an article with "maybe" "might" "could").
