Jewel Staite Q & A

What would YOU ask Jewel Staite?

It's getting closer to the Serenity Screenings and in Vancouver we are lucky enough to have Jewel Staite attending a Q & A before the screening. This is a real honour and makes the event even more special. I'm not sure how the Q & A works and I've never been to a panel (or any other type of event like this) so I don't know what to expect. So if I got the chance, what would I ask? What would you ask Jewel?

(The blog has a comment area if you'd like to post your questions to Jewel Staite there.)

SG1/SGA - Michael Shanks Video Interview From German TV RTL2:

(I've posted the two video clips on my google blog at:

http://tinyurl.com/3j82uq )

From RTL2 (German TV):

http://www.rtl2.de/15510.html

A video interview filmed during FEDCON XVII in Bonn, Germany (April 18-20 '08), that is divided into two segments.

FEDCON XVIII will also be in Bonn, Germany, on May 1-3 2009.

http://www.fedcon.de/index_en.php

For those who are not able to view the video interview, I've typed quick transcripts (this is NOT verbatim): Interview video #1 (approximately 3:01 [minutes] in length)



RTL2: So nice that you are here, Michael Shanks, from Stargate. Is this a first time at a German convention for you?

Michael Shanks: "No, actually, this is I think my fourth. I've been to Nuremberg, Frankfurt, Hamburg...so I think this is my fourth German convention. Where are we now? In Bonn, yes, thank you."

RTL2: Are German fans different than the fans in other countries, like in Asia or the USA?

MS: "I would say they're in general -- that they're a lot more passionate about their show than in America. I've never been to Asia, so I'm not really sure about that market. So I'd say they're very similar to the UK in their passion for their genre shows. So, I think that that differs from the American audience."



RTL2: If you go back to yesterday, when you entered the stage for the first time here in Bonn, and to see the faces of 6,000 people applauding and crying for you, so what kind of emotional feelings for you?

MS: "I hope to say I'm not getting used to it, but it's always great. Every time I do it it's always an interesting experience, because I never have the same reaction to an audience, they're always their own unique animal. I think this audience is very similar in that way. It's always great. It's flattering you know. What are you supposed to do, smile and nod and answer the questions the best you can."



RTL2: How do you feel after ten years of Stargate, what kind of memories do you have? What kind of highlights maybe in ten years of Stargate?

MS: Oh boy! Uhm, there's a lot...I mean, there's a lot. Ten years of doing anything. We shoot the show nine months a year. There's a lot of memories. I mean, you know, empires have risen and fallen in the decade that we've done the show.

You know, people had had entire careers in the real world, and with us it's no different. Babies have been born -- somebody did a count, and there was like 40 something babies on the set of Stargate. There were numerous deaths, not only people who worked on the show, but of relatives and things like that.

Almost every episode that we we've done is marked by some occurrence where you can always say, 'Hey, I remember.' That's when 9/11 happened. We were filming that ("Menace"). Or that's when Rick's (Richard Dean Anderson) dad passed away ("Lifeboat"). Or that's when I had my appendix taken out ("Crystal Skull").

Everything is kind of marked in some way by some occurrence and you can always -- you know, little secrets -- this is where Rick was written light in this episode because his daughter was born ("Spirits"), or this is when Daniel was written light because my daughter was born ("A Matter of Time") during that time.

This is where I asked for time off because another child was born ("Line in the Sand"). So there's all sorts of "in" jokes in the history of the show that go along with the making of it for ten years. The memories are too bountiful to pick just a couple of them."



From interview video # 2 (approximately :58 (seconds) in length):

RTL2: What are your new projects after Stargate?

MS: "Oh boy. In about a week I start filming a movie called "The Last Treasure of the Grand Canyon" in my old home town of Kamloops (Canada), which is doubling as the Grand Canyon. After that, I do a couple of episodes of Stargate Atlantis. And then Christopher Judge and I are carrying on producing, or trying to get produced, the script's been sold, for our project "Rage of Angels," which is a fantasy story where angels have battled it out on Earth. Where Christopher will be playing the Arch Angel Gabriel and I will be playing Lucifer. So hopefully that will be on television hopefully, but now we're hearing that they want to turn it into a feature. So we'll have to wait and see."



RTL2: And what comes next for you? Maybe a guest role for you in Stargate Atlantis season five?

MS: "As I was saying before, in about three weeks I start filming two guest spots on Stargate Atlantis. And I have no idea what they planned for the character in that. But if they kill him, for good, I'm going to be very angry."

WAs just about to post it. TMZ is a very tackly tabloid show but they do at least not rip apart RDA like other actors. I mean, you really can't harrass macGyver

Actually, if you look at the blurb above the video you will notice that TMZ says he is fat and that even a stick of gum, duct tape, and a swiss army knife can't help his fat frame. Thick is more polite than coming right out and calling him fat but everyone still knows that saying someone is thick means that you are calling them fat. Also when they use the phrase "big star" after calling him thick it appears that the phrase big star is meant to mean that he is big in terms of his waistline.

[sabrina_lane03]

For the record I am not commenting on his weight and was merely paraphrasing what tmz said. I think it was highly inappropriate to call him fat since he had surgery on his feet and probably couldn't be as active as he was before. The video shows that he appears to still be limping.

SGA - Robert Davi (Kolya) - PR WEB: "One In The Gun":

A press release from PR WEB:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/05/prweb972724.htm

Where to Find One of Film and Television's Most Familiar Faces

Robert Davi Joins Cast of Neo-noir Thriller "One In The Gun"

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2008 -- It's a scorching afternoon in the middle of California's high desert and the tall, striking, multi-award winning actor Robert Davi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001108/) strides onto the legendary 4-Aces film set, to kick off filming director/writer Rolfe Kanefsky's latest flick, "One In The Gun". Davi's creation of the devilish noir character Vincent, comes with absolute fluidity: an ex-con with a penchant for axes whose penetrating laughter is as sinister as his stare.

Instantly recognized from both film ("James Bond: License To Kill", "Goonies", "Die Hard", and "Hot Chick") and television ("Profiler", "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Huff"), Davi, has been very successfully touring the festival world with his feature film directorial debut "The Dukes" while filming David Zucker's "An American Carol" with the all-star cast of Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper, Leslie Nielsen and Kevin Sorbo and locking down his role in Max Ryan's "The Hunchback" with John Rhys-Davies.

"One In The Gun" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217059/) revamps the classic noir genre with a modern flair, while paying tribute to such masters as Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity), Lawrence Kasdan (Body Heat) and David Lynch (Mulholland Dr.). A deliciously dark tale of one man's desperate spiral into an endless, personal hell; private investigator Mickey Lewis (Steven Man) discovers that it only takes "One In The Gun". Can Mickey stay focused on his mark? If he pursues love over logic, can he win this game of manipulation against a femme fatale that knows no bounds?

Davi joins cast members Steven Bauer ("Scarface", "How The Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer"); Steven Man ("Savage Island," "Augusta Gone"); Katherine Randolph ("Jarhead," "Black Ops"); Robert Donavan ("Nightmare Man") and James Russo ("Donnie Brasco," "Beverly Hills Cop" and Michael Mann's upcoming "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp).

"One In The Gun" writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky whose credits include "Blonde & Blonder" (First Look/Rigel), "Nightmare Man" (Lionsgate), "Jacqueline Hyde" (Warner), "The Hazing" (MTI) has teamed up with Director of Photography Gigi Malavasi and producers Michelle Czernin von Chudenitz, Esther Goodstein and Miriam Bertke, projects a Spring 2009 release.
