Picardo Goes Dark In Sensored

Longtime SF actor Robert Picardo (Stargate Atlantis) told SCI FI Wire that he takes on a darker persona in the forthcoming horror movie Sensored, in which he plays Wade Mixon, a seemingly normal children's-book illustrator who's hiding a terrible secret within his suburban ranch house.

Speaking during a press preview for Atlantis' upcoming fifth season in Vancouver, Canada, last week, Picardo said that his character is "your neighbor down the block who seems kind of like Mr. Rogers, who is torturing someone in the basement. Or maybe he's not. You don't know whether I'm a CIA deprogrammer or whether I think I'm a CIA deprogrammer."

Jason Momoa: Dex appeal

Hawaiian actor Jason Momoa appeared in lifeguard drama Baywatch before landing the role of Satedan warrior Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis. With the fourth season about to be released on DVD, Momoa spoke to Bryan Cairns about fighting and leaving his shirt on.

**snippage**

As the big muscle on the show, do you have to work hard to keep that physique?

JM: "No, it is too hard. Before the season starts, what I try to do is climb, get in shape, and ride a bike. Once we start rolling, everything dissipates so by the end of the year, I am all ugggh. Until they come in and say, “Ummm, you are supposed to be the bulk of the show!” - then I would go to the gym…It is a good thing I don’t have to take my shirt off. I am so excited to wear clothes. I hate taking my shirt off [laughs]"


Stargate Atlantis: Series 4 Vol. 1 is released on region 2 DVD on 2 June 2008, and Region 1 DVD box set on July 8 2008.

Against doctor's orders

Oaks Christian pole-vaulter Lauren Radke battles Graves' disease, but
it hasn't slowed her down one bit

By Thomas Gase

If Lauren Radke's doctor is reading this, then she just got busted. If
not, trouble remains for Radke's pole-vaulting competition.

Radke, an Oaks Christian senior, was diagnosed with Graves' disease
during March 2005. The disease is an autoimmune disorder that involves
overactivity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).

**snippage**

In the past year, much to Radke's surprise, she also started getting
support from Oaks Christian parent and "Farscape" actor, Ben Browder.

"It's been nice to get some help this year," Radke said. "(Browder)
has a daughter in the eighth grade, so he started volunteering this
year. At first I didn't expect him to know anything about the sport,
but as time has gone by he's helped me a lot, and I'm finally starting
to trust that he knows what he's doing."

SGA - Stargate Planet - Director David Winning Interview:

A brief excerpt:



Interview with David Winning

Stargate-Planet, May 2008

David Winning was a director of Stargate Atlantis’ first season episodes. We’re grateful that he’s willing to answer a few career related questions for our German website visitors.

S-P.de: Your Atlantis episode “Childhood’s end” won three awards for “Best direction”. What do think does make this episode and your direction special?

DW: Childhood's End ultimately is a story about compassion and understanding. Sheppard and his team crashland on a planet where the inhabitants are all children; no one lives past the age of 25. Our heroes soon learn the disturbing reason. The series presents some interesting dilemmas and political choices for the fans; how much interference is too much in a new culture -- and what is the real purpose of the SG teams exploration. I loved working with the kids obviously, that was a major fun part of the show. Cleo and Casta played by Jessica Amlee and Sam Charles were both amazing and pretty experienced for their age. But I think the most challenging part was just creating this whole forest village that the kids lived in. With amazing support from a great effects team (to add the actual treehouses) and also the art direction and set decoration was incredible. That village went on forever; just wish we’d had the time to shoot it completely and show it off. Perhaps the movie version. I think it’s always fun to be in on the ground floor of a series because everyone was finding their way. Childhood was such an early episode for Atlantis, that it was fascinating watching the characters being formed by a talented cast. I really liked playing with the tension in the group as Aries starts to get more manic and defensive. There developed sort of an evil quality to the villagers amidst the innocence of youth. Episode trivia: Three scenes were removed; both just for time. I tend to overshoot stuff so quite often because of the confines of episodic some material will have to go. I’m remembering one scene involved Teyla questioning a pregnant villager about the origins of the sacrifice – just a short scene that I liked but it got trimmed. Also the team’s arrival in the forest village was a long steadicam tracking shot through the winding path of the village and showing all the kids coming out of hiding to greet the group. Sad to see this go as it really showed off the expanse of the encampment. In the present cut the group just arrives at the shrine as the rope ladder is thrown down. Also a short argument scene between Keras and Aries in the treehouse, just before they confer with the team about their decision.
