Time's running out...

[Stu]

Does anyone else think it's getting a bit late for another SG-1 movie with RDA. I mean the guy isn't getting any younger, and from what I've seen in SGU he's looking a little, uum, plump. Don't get me wrong though, I love him in SG-1 and in fact he made the show, and was a large factor in it's longevity but we need to get this one going MGM!

Thats why i started the fan campaign!!! I totally agree with what you said!!

Does RDA have any interest in doing another SG1 movie? Is it something he has addressed in interviews?

Yes

[Stu]

I just think he started off the series and it needs to end with him. Sure he had a cameo in Continuum, but we want more!
But does anyone actually think it's doable, I mean with the shape he was in in SGU (I'm only on Episode 6, Season 1) can he star in a movie as the lead? Or is losing weight standard practise for actors?

[carmencatalina]

Well that's promising, then. I'm worried that at some point he is going to say "I'm too old for all this running around crap" - of course, they could also have Jack have more of a strategic role.

My long-standing crush on RDA is unsullied by any "plumpness", however. I would gladly watch in any case.

The weight gain was due to inmobility due to a knee surgery. I believe RDA has commented on exercising to lose said excess weight.

Aaah thanks for info man, I never knew that. That's good news ! I thought he had just gotten lazy, which seemed a little odd, after having watched the "A day in the life of RDA" video Not the knee surgery mind you, the reason for the weight gain

[Egle01]

I wish people would just get over his weight issues. Even if RDA doesn't succeed in losing the extra pounds, I'd prefer him a bit chubbier and healthy than skinny and with bad health.

I honestly don't think it matters that RDA has put on a few; Don S. Davis was always rather rotund, but that didn't stop him. But as carmencatalina pointed out, Jack could be in more of a strategic role than in the full-on action. After all, his is a more commanding rank anyway.
Bottom line, if RDA's happy to do a Stargate movie, I'm happy to watch it.

Feel the love.

I thought it was surgery on his feet?

Knee , foot surgery. Close enough. The result is the same

[Replicator Todd]

I will start thinking time is running out once it is 2011.

[magictrick]

I wouldn't mind the way he looks as long as he's capable of being the lead once more, both physically and mentally (i.e. he has the willingness to do it). I mean he's 60 years old, I don't know what you guys expect him to look like. Its not 13 years ago anymore

[dolfyn]

^ Yeah, he's 60 & he's still rockin' it!
He was in fine comedic form at his Q&A at Stargate 2010 a couple of weeks ago. That's why I'd still watch him in a Stargate movie. Hell, I'd watch him read out the phonebook, because he'd find a way to spin it into gold.

Feel the love.
