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....

So there is $$$$$ for SGU and $$$$$ for a SG1 film but.............

I would be thrilled if an SGA movie gets green-lighted and actually made, but first...oh, look ANOTHER SG-1 movie moves ahead. How nice for them! Is there a little favoritism going on or what? - Diane

WANT

I'll believe it when I see it though.

Okay, I'll keep my spark of hope. Although the though that Martin Wood may direct makes me smile.

I must be the only one that really doesn't want another SG1 movie until we get the first SGA movie out. Don't get me wrong, I want another SG1 movie but would rather have the SGA movie first.

I'd much rather have a SGA move than another SG1 movie.
At least give us one!

No your not the only one, I like SG1 an I would happly support it but not first, coz its had 2 movies already an SGA has been just left hanging by the idiot PTB.

If they do a 3rd SG1 before Atlantis, I will be hopping mad, an honestly I don’t think I'd even buy, because it would be so wrong. Sadly though that actually what I think they will do, so it will be yet another smack in the mouth to SGA fans an the actors. Sometimes I really think that Joe F an the guys are so much better off out of it, than having to deal with that lot, an don’t even get me started on what I think of JMs blog an the sycophants that crow all over him “ yuck”.

I know for a fact going forward that I personally will never again support anything JM, Wright/Cooper & cronnies do.

Any other projects un SGA related (an I would much prefer fresh blood for that, a SGA movie could only benefit if these weren’t involved), I'll be polite an call them the creative team do, I will just dismiss sight unseen because I think these guys are just horrible after the way the whole axing of SGA for there new shinny toy

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.

For reminding, AT said the same one year ago.
And yes I would prefer to get SGA movie first. I think there are the fan base and audience out there.
