SGU JM - BW Battling Hard

[sg1fan]

I hate to get my hopes up but this is somewhat encouraging. Obviously it's still long odds on SGU continuing but it's good to see that Brad isn't just rolling over.

This quote from Joseph Mallozis blog entry dated 12/24

It’s hard to say no to a job because it’s always great to be employed. Especially if you know, like and respect the people you’ll be working with, and love the material you’ll be working on. Which brings me to a conversation I had with Stargate Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer/Writer Brad Wright today. Alas, no details to offer (yet!) but suffice it to say he’s battling hard to ensure the franchise (that’s SG-1, Atlantis, and SGU) lives on and that the season two finale of Universe, “Gauntlet”, will not be the end. He’s adopted a clever two-pronged approach that, if successful, will see our awesome crew back at work next year. Nothing is guaranteed, but it’s great to hear he’s got a plan to make it happen. And, for the sake of the many, many Stargate fans out there, I really hope he succeeds.

A couple of other opportunities have also presented themselves, one presently small with great potential, another positively huge that would necessitate some major, major life changes.

Oh - and Merry Christmas

I hope we get the promised SG1 and SGA movies.

The title makes it sound like they're battling each other

[Egle01]

I'm also hoping BW succeeds.

I figured as much from JM saying stuff like "Season 3 wont be done this year". I'm really happy to hear this and I hope it goes somewhere. I'm sure they'll have MGMs support too.

When i red the title of this thread my mind flew to JM and BW in armour fighting a dragon which had the syfy logo on it.

If they can pitch SGU successfully, then my hats are off to them

<<cough>> I'd say it's *already* been pitched.

Whatever. Not a fan of SGU, but if they can get another season, I'm happy for the cast & crew.

From today's blog 12/25

Abbas Karimjee writes: “Is the possibility of continuing SGU, in movie format, being considered or all efforts currently being devoted to reviving it as a series, for a third season?”

Answer: All options are being considered at this point, but a third season would be ideal.

Abbas Karimjee also writes: “Do you have an idea as to when some further developments on SGU’s future will be known?”

Answer: No, but “positive progress” could be made as early as next week.

Oh and Merry Christmas Everyone

We need to hear more from Brad... these blog entries are from someone who isn't in charge.

Neither are in charge of anything anymore.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

when they say "next year" do they mean 2012? or 2011?

[globex]

Oh please spare us your BS Joseph M and Brad Wright. Stop beating around the bush and give us some concrete information.This is getting Annoying..

[Solokiller]

They don't have any information they can give, it's the holidays, we have to be patient.

To be honest the thing I'm most curious about is whether MGM are eager to continue the show, I guess it would be kind of pointless for Brad Wright to go on a campaign if they weren't but I still have my doubts.

I suspect if they have any interest in continuing SGU its simply because they own the sets and props which would be an additional cost if they were to create a new show.
