悲慘的消息

惟一值得高興一點就是

With news coming in last week that MGM (the studio that owns the Stargate TV
franchise) has completed its bankruptcy restructuring and securing $500
million in new financing (story), the next big question is just which of
Stargate‘s three series will get attention first — and in what medium.

In a new Q&A with fans on his blog, executive producer Joseph Mallozzi offers
his take on where things currently stand for the future of Stargate Universe,
the Atlantis movie, and beyond.

Mallozzi was clear that the end of SGU does not mean that time and money has
now been freed up to put the Atlantis film into production. Mallozzi
co-wrote the script for Stargate: Extinction with Paul Mullie after the movie
was first announced following SGA‘s cancellation in 2008.

“I’m sorry to say but the cancellation puts the brakes on whatever progress
the SGA movie had made in the past month, shelving it indefinitely,” he
said. “… Contrary to what some may think, the cancellation of SGU is very
bad news for those looking forward to an Atlantis movie.”

Mallozzi didn’t speak to the next planned movie for the SG-1 team,
tentatively titled Stargate: Revolution. Executive producer Brad Wright had
reportedly been working on securing the go-ahead for that film before MGM
entered bankruptcy this fall.

He also said that a fourth television series in the franchise is not on the
table at this point. “A new Stargate series isn’t even being considered,”
he said. “… There are no plans to create or move forward on a new series.
We love the one we have now.”


The producers of SGU hope that Destiny's mission is not over yet.
That, of course, means that the producers still hope to find a way to finish
SGU‘s storyline. Mallozzi echoed Wright’s sentiments on this point
(story). “All options are being considered at this point, but a third
season would be ideal,” Mallozzi said. “We’re investigating all possible
avenues.”

The Destiny sets will remain standing until all avenues have been exhausted,
he said.

He said that, while the show’s ratings this season haven’t been good, the
cancellation decision was surprising in its abruptness. “Those early Season
Two ratings were admittedly a downer. The move to Tuesday night was not good
for us (and, speaking to the franchise as a whole, the move from summer to
fall did us no favors either) and I firmly believe that time-shifted viewing
and internet downloads have bled off a significant portion of our younger,
tech-savvy audience.

“Still, we held out hope and, as production continued on Season Two,
positive word from various places gave us hope that the show would come back
for, at the very least, a third and final season (much the same way
Battlestar did). Many of us were shocked by the abruptness of the
cancellation decision.”

its final 10 episodes on Syfy this spring.
