saw was going to be shown at San Diego Comic-Con it'll be like the weirdest Comic-Con ever
and following that video the unveiling of a road map and plan for New Amazon on Stargate
wait wait what did you say what'd you say what did you say that's right according to
an Insider very close to the project we've been able to confirm that Amazon was fully
prepared to move forward with Stargate right now oh hell yeah this isn't a rumor or a take
it with a grain of salt this and everything we're about to share with you is verified
from people close to the situation we did not reveal our sources so why was the announcement
canceled and what does this mean for Stargate moving forward great question level your heads
at who are the show Runners and actors involved and what were their plans they say that it's
going to be good who will be taking the reins now and is there still a chance for Stargate
co-creator Brad Wright to be involved hope so we have new details never heard before

end to see how to get this awesome Stargate inspired design from the amazing artist at
mixteas.com can you reverse the polarity I'll do my best engine room warp speed we should
be clear that this Stargate news is incredibly important and while it is temporarily disappointing
that the official announcement of new Stargate is now pending as a result of the wga SAG
after strike it's Monumental because it was the green light we've been waiting more than
a decade to hear green light man yeah despite all the recent rumors that Amazon was moving
forward with Stargate there was nothing official yo one degree even the deadline article that
got everyone excited back in April was simply a repeat of what we'd already shared in December
by the way that's old news let's face it the Seesaw of good news and bad news has been
enough to make a seasoned sailor seasick I say that 10 times fast but not now going all
the way back to the announcement that new Stargate movies were coming and then canceled
in 2014 to the rise of the Stargate command streaming service in 2017 including its fall
in 2019 the awkward attempt at Stargate Origins webisodes and Brad Wright's announcement he
was in contact with MGM and they were taking it seriously of course right after that silence
so we'll cancel Stargate Atlantis and do a battle star spin-off then we'll start a Stargate
only streaming service with a low budget web series called Stargate Origins stand it's
gone
uh what then during covid the announcement that Brad was writing a new Stargate script
for MGM and then of course came the incredible and unexpected sale of MGM and with its Stargate
to Amazon now that Amazon has purchased our studio let's try for a new series with Brad
right now let's ignore his script in low ball Mark Fergus and Hawk Osby till they stop taking
our calls and it's gone so for fans who've been riding the waves of Hope and despair
of the franchise returning over the past decade this was an actual moment we'd been waiting
for the green light hey green means go and while some might argue that the fingers of
Fate who never want new Stargate to be made strolled over to the wall and just pulled
the plug on it we get it there's something to be said for that but this announcement
is a lot different than all the others well it better be or I'll have your balls in a
jar on my desk the Stargate owners have always been strangely quiet about the status of the
franchise MGM would announce something and then we'd get radio silence for years hero
zilch 19. it's as if no one wanted to share the bad news they couldn't get new Stargate
made so when Amazon firmly decided to plant two feet into the ground and say we're making
new Stargate it's a big deal huge massive especially when they didn't have anyone locked
down to make it wait a minute that's right Amazon was going to announce new Stargate
without a finalized deal with a Creator but we'll get back to that in a moment so uh let's
Circle back there is one thing that we can take away from this above all else and that's
that Amazon is serious about making Stargate the question is reboot or continuation no
one talks about the reboots before we share the rest of what we know about new Stargate

go with new Stargate well it's good news for fans of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis according
to sources very close to the project the big announcement was scheduled July 23rd at Comic-Con
during a panel undomesticated Eagle Vines could not remove me the plan was to unveil
the Stargate road map moving forward starting with a movie and then a limited series the
movie would serve as a pilot Bridging the Gap between Stargate SG-1 Atlantis and the
new series and while the guest list was not completely finalized before the strike canceled
the event a number of Stargate Alum were hopeful attendants this includes Amanda Tapping Michael
Shanks Joe Flanagan Robert picardo David Hewlett Paul mcgillian Lexa doing and Christopher
hiredal I think it'll be enough it's what we've got the teaser video we would have seen
prior to the announcement started with a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge panning down to
reveal a Stargate underwater being activated okay so now we're talking now what are we
the T Caesar wasn't hinting at a specific story but to build up some hype for the new
project mission accomplished despite an exciting Fifth Season Stargate Atlantis fans were disappointed
when the series ended at the bottom of San Francisco Bay albeit Todd was a prisoner and
the Earth was safe for now but the series finale also the 100th episode wasn't meant
to be written as a finale indeed an Amazon wisely chose this moment to bring us back
to they also have a short list of actors they have in mind Although our sources couldn't
share that with us as it will likely change once the character sheets are ready alright
I write Stargate fan fiction so I think I know what I'm talking about right now Stargate
Universe fans may have noticed the lack of actors from that show and despite being canceled
after the second season there are a lot of fans who want to know what happened to the
destiny and its Trap Team unfortunately according to sources Stargate Universe will be left
out due in part because the cast size as well as a bit of a tricky situation dealing with
David blue Yeah It's Tricky um you know which is a shame because you can't really address
Universe without the character of Eli Wallace I I think I want my lawyer to look it over
first and by lawyer I assume you mean mother what exactly is tricky about working with
blue was not shared but we do know from his June 11th interview with the shuttlepon show
that he and other members of Stargate Universe would love to come back to the characters
in full-time roles every actor on SGU that I've spoken to would come back in a heartbeat
every actor from SG-1 and Atlantis for the most part would come back in a heartbeat and
like yeah I'd love to play in this world more but ultimately whatever the reason Amazon
chose to consider ideas that didn't include incorporating Universe which we are learning
is likely why Brad writes pilot script that he wrote wasn't considered I'm slowing you
down and you want to get rid of me we'll go deeper into write his script and how he can
still be attached to new Stargate in just a moment but besides Brad's involvement many
fans have clamored for more behind the scenes work from other show veterans hey kids and
while Richard Dean Anderson wasn't interested in participating at the time of the planning
of Comic-Con three of us the world we save it right and Jason momoa's schedule isn't
free until 2025.
insiders shared that some of the original cast members attending the announcement would
be coming back behind the camera as opposed to being a part of the regular cast let me
think about Amanda Tapping has said on multiple occasions that she would love to direct future
Stargate so that's something to look out for to take an episode from start to finish to
be responsible for every single shot a lot of the trouble finalizing who would be attending
the announcement was already difficult when the wga strike began but when actors joined
the picket lines there was no way Amazon could go forward with the announcement I have no
use for people I find people weird and confusing I made promises to my superiors that I most
certainly cannot keep and as a result of the ongoing strike the waters surrounding Stargate
are now murky at best according to our sources the strike could hit Stargate as well as the
RoboCop reboot hard that's why I need you idiots to work twice as hard no no strike
that four times as hard the timeline will 100 be shifted but we are told that there
are several people pushing hard to make sure both projects don't end up back on the Shelf
I need you morons to work eight times harder than you've ever worked and your entire life
we're also being told that as Amazon began shifting Focus from scripted content to non-scripted
shows planning dates will be pushed out since non-scripted neither requires writers or actors
that's where Amazon and other Studios will be going I'm having a heart attack yeah I'm
having an heart attack get back to work our insiders say that if the strike isn't over
by September then everything could be delayed until as late as 2027. if the strike continues
into 2024 the production slate for the following year will be determined and will have to wait
until the end of the following year to get the ball rolling on new scripted projects
like Stargate okay well that's not good MGM industry veteran Jenny stiven of Clio Consulting
opened up about her thoughts on the strike during an interview on dial the gate with
David Reed and gateworld's Darren Sumner July 15th there's some resentments Steven explained
that in a worst case scenario that whenever this strike does end it's a six month to two
year problem depending on what part of the industry you're in you won't see new scripted
domestic product stiven believes that even if an agreement was reached in September it
would take several months to complete and with the holidays we could easily see the
strike go into 2024. in a best case scenario steiven says everyone could go back to work
in September if an agreement is reached quickly oh my God would that be amazing although it's
not looking like that at the moment it's not looking what do you mean it's not looking
coarse So based on that information despite Amazon wanting to launch new Stargate now
we are at an impasse pending development of the strike most broadcast networks are going
to switch over to reality television are going to switch over to anything that's quote unquote
unscripted so what was happening before the strike began a lot of stuff do you really
want to know yes back in December we reported that Mark Fergus Hawk ottsby and naren Shankar
who brought us the expanse asked for the Stargate Series on Amazon I like that I like that a
lot the deal couldn't be made at the time due to reports that Amazon wanted to pay less
per episode than the team wanted I don't like that the expanse team also wanted a three
season guarantee to go along with a hefty budget for the series just give them what
they want let's give them what they want but I don't want to give them what they want I'll
give them what they want please and while negotiations have continued even up to the
strike with Fergus and his team Amazon has had to go back to the drawing board feel like
I'm cursed their current plan is to produce a movie as a special two-part event that acts
as a pilot for a new series Jen salka could have a movie Nick pepper could have his series
the fans could have something that is not just referential but involves sg1 SGA SGU
and then there's something new our sources tell us the strike put a halt to Amazon's
negotiations right after they agreed on the current game plan in fact the strike has now
left the door wide open it's still possible that Fergus and his team could end up closing
the deal but depending on how long the strike goes on for this could could create an opening
for Brad Wright let's do this which as you can see from our change.org save the gate
campaign many Stargate fans want I think you should give it to me while we still don't
understand why Amazon didn't reach out to write requesting script changes that aligned
with the vision they were looking for ah for crying out loud we are being told there shouldn't
be any reason Amazon wouldn't consider a revised plan of action from the Stargate co-creator
after the strike especially as they haven't finalized a deal with anyone yet only going
to get worse indeed what we wouldn't give to have Brad Wright Joseph malazi and other
Stargate veteran writers creating new content on a series but what do you think of all this
Insider news does knowing Amazon is eager to launch new Stargate give you more confidence
that new content is on the way what do you think of the teaser that showed a Stargate
activating on the bottom of San Francisco Bay how do you feel about Universe likely
not being a part of the Revival and lastly do you want Brad Wright to Champion the new
project or do you want to see what the expanse creatives have of their leave let's talk about
it in the comments below you know where we stand on the future of Stargate and if you
also stand with us on Brad rice Stargate please consider signing the petition at savethegate.org
