New SG-1 Movies

[Captain Jean-Luc Picard]

The show began with a movie and will be ending with a movie.  Nice.  I am glad the Ori saga will be wraped up with a feature film.  It'll also be interesting to see RDA return as "General O'Neill" in a movie featuring time travel.

“Stargate” movies delayed

The direct-to-home-theater “Stargate” movies are comingâ€"but it’s going to take a bit longer than expected.

20th Century Fox told Gateworld that the first movie, “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” has been pushed back until early 2008 and that the next film “Stargate: Continuum” will also be delayed. Tentative release dates are now March and October of next year, respectively.

“Ark of Truth” is set to resolve the two-year long story arc concerning the Ori and was eagerly anticipated by “Stargate” fans. No official word yet on why the movies have been delayed. “The Ark of Truth” has been in post-production for several weeks now and “Continuum” just finished up principal filming a few weeks ago.

There is some good news for SG-1 fans. On his TV Guide Blog, actor Michael Shanks stated that should the movies perform well, the studio is interested in producing two direct-to-home-theater “Stargate SG-1? films a year. Shanks told fans to “cross their fingers.” (It probably wouldn’t hurt to buy the disc when it comes out either.)

There is some speculation that the studio could order a third direct-to-home-theater “SG-1? movie before the release of the “The Ark of Truth.”

We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for any details and firm release dates as they become available.

I had been hoping for an SG-1 feature film featuring a Goa'uld assault on Earth ever since there were first talks of doing a movie (Stargate: The Lost City) to follow up the Season 6 finale.  Fortunately, we will see just that in the second movie, Stargate: Continuum.  It's fitting to have RDA return as General O'Neill in a story where Ba'al is the main villain.  Maybe we'll see a showdown between O'Neill and Ba'al?  That'd be awesome. :biggrin First, they have to wrap up the Ori saga with Stargate: The Ark of Truth, that ought to be a good movie.

Do you think that the Daniel Jackson stuck in Ancient Egypt from "Moebius" could have ascended and thus show up in one of the movies?  That'd be pretty cool.  Probably won't happen, but it's fun to think about. :biggrin

That's a lttle disappointing to hear the two films are delayed. And the second one delayed over a year? Oh well, I just hope the delay will result in a better films instead of some kind of rush jobs.

I don't mind The Ark of Truth being delayed to early 2008, but why is Continuum delayed until October?  That's crazy! :taz

MGM has confirmed that it will release the next Stargate SG-1 film titled "Stargate: Continuum" on July 29 release date. This is the second of Stargate SG-1 film going straight to standard DVD, plus this one will also be issued on Blu-ray. The first film, "Stargate: The Ark of Truth" has been a monumental success story, so the possibility for more after this next film is highly possible.

Continuum July Release Confirmed

MGM confirmed a July 29 release date for the second of its upcoming Stargate SG-1 straight-to-DVD movies, Stargate: Continuum, which will also be released on Blu-ray disc.

In the action-adventure movie based on the long-running SCI FI Channel series, members of SG-1 find themselves returning to a world where their history has been dramatically altered.

Continuum brings back original SG-1 star Richard Dean Anderson as Jack O'Neill, along with series regulars Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black, Beau Bridges and Michael Shanks.

Continuum was filmed partly in the Arctic and is the most ambitious Stargate production yet.

The disc will also feature commentary from producer/writer Brad Wright and director Martin Wood, as well as three making-of featurettes that explore how the U.S. military provided the production with a Navy nuclear submarine and F-15 fighter jets, what it was like shooting in the Arctic and how science and science fiction collide.  :spidey
