Stargate: Extinction - Joseph Mallozzi revealed the Secrets

Cancelled ShowsJoseph Mallozzi revealed some new spoilers, what a Stargate Atlantis Movie would have looked like. Starting here:
Finally – by now, I had hoped to hear back on the ultimate faith of Stargate: Extinction (Novel? Comic book? Radio play? Performance art piece?) but, alas, it’s been very quiet. I will say that when Paul and I set out to write the script for the proposed Stargate: Atlantis movie, we did so in the hopes that, ultimately, it wouldn’t be produced as a movie at all but as the first two episodes of SGA’s sixth season. Codenamed “Project Twilight”, it would have focused on the city of Atlantis, its personnel, and the journey back to home to the Pegasus Galaxy. Ideally, that would set the stage for the thrilling 18 episodes to follow – or, at the very least, the jumping off point for future SGA movies.
The movie would have picked up not long after the events of the season 5 finale, Enemy at the Gates. In the opening scene, two astronauts (who turn out to be a couple of familiar faces – Amelia Banks and Major Lorne) take a walk on the surface of the moon, their lunar stroll ending with a reveal of the city of Atlantis. A shuttle carrying Sam Carter and a group of dignitaries sweeps overhead and lands.

Is it a spoiler if it's never going to happen? *sadly*
ReplyDeleteLooks like the end of another great show. Another season of Stargate Atlantis instead of a movie would have been fantastic. Now there will be neither. And that's not good.
ReplyDeleteSGA had so much potential. Even though some of the writers and producers hastened its death, the network ended the series far too early.
