MGM’s new leadership simply isn’t interested in continuing the Stargate television franchise right now, according to actress Alaina Huffman.
“They tried very hard to put a movie together,” Huffman said in a stage appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con in Philadelphia last month. “[But] Spyglass is not interested in Stargate, so therefore would not fund the movie. So we — we, as in Brad [Wright] — had to look for money elsewhere, and came very close several times.”
Huffman played Lt. Tamara Johansen on Stargate Universe.

Really too bad.... The SG-U series and the franchise as a whole deserved a better goodbye send off!
ReplyDeleteI believe the fans would rather have an SG-1 or Atlantis movie. Making a SGU movie that no one wants to see would be stupid.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about that. SGU took so long to find its footing that it couldn't hold a sustainable audience. Considering the overall quality of the show and the ever-dwindling viewership, the final episode of the series is about as good of a send off as one could hope for.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like it was Law & Order who, after 21 seasons, numerous awards, and cementing its place in TV history, went out with a weak season finale whimper. Now that is a show that deserved a much better send off.
Agreed. While I actually became a fan of SG-U towards the end there isn't enough of a dedicated fanbase to put the kind of money needed for a movie behind it.
ReplyDeleteYup. I'm happy with the final SG1 movie, but I'd still like one or two for Atlantis. That's what they should have been working on, not SGU.
