The bulk of this interview is focused on Woods
involvement with filming SG: Atlantis, but he does
talk briefly about working on Stargate: SG-1 and how it
defines moments in his life.
Excerpt from Tales of The City
by Stephen Eramo in TV Zone #190
With the première of the series' second season looming
on the horizon, veteran Stargate director and
co-producer Martin Wood lets us in on some of what we
can expect to see…
It’s eight years since Martin Wood first stepped
through the Stargate for the first season episode
Solitudes. Since then, he’s directed more than 50
Stargate adventures, including several instalments of
its sister series Stargate Atlantis. It’s been quite a
memorable experience for him in more ways than one.
“There’s so much history involved in Stargate, and I
don’t just mean what’s on the TV screen,” notes Wood,
who is also a co-producer on SG-1 and Atlantis. “I’ll
watch the DVD of an episode and think. ‘That’s when
Richard Dean Anderson became a father,’ or, ‘That’s
when Michael Shanks’s first child was born’. I can
look at the DVD of the story Frozen and know the scene
I was shooting when I got a phone call telling me that
my mom was dying and that I had to come home. Watching
Menace, I know the exact time that 9/11 happened. That
morning we were filming in the pyramid with the
Replicators. Our actors were walking through the door
of the pyramid just as the second plane was hitting
the second tower. We were all so upset that we
couldn’t finish the scene.
“It just amazes me the milestones in your life that
you can equate to your work on a TV programme. Weird,
huh?”
This past March, Wood was back on the Atlantis set
filming The Siege, Part 3, the second season opener
and conclusion to the cliffhanger that left Dr
Elizabeth Weir and her team fighting to beat off a
Wraith invasion force.
