MGM Open To More Stargate Depending on Success of Stargate Origins and SGC

[WraithTech]

I hate stargate, right now. This franchise just doesn't cut it, and not for the lack of people trying to keep it alive, but for MGM to mess around with it.

Today is my day to feel this way.

Will MGM represent itself on the Upfronts this week?

As your translator, I am offended beyond reason!!!
Or perhaps not

There is no logic behind that they announce the extension of all-access for free then they put back the whole franchise into a sarcophagus.

There is actually. The All-access people were promised a digital download of the feature cut of Stargate Origins, and that hasn't happened yet because they probably weren't able to finish it on time.
Technically speaking, they should have gotten it before tomorrow and should have been able to download it too, but I think they seriously frakked it up, and had no other choice but to extent.

However, perhaps more telling is how quiet they've actually been about the extension. I sure didn't see anything on twitter about it, not from the official account anyway. All-access members got a mail about the extension but beyond that, not a peep. Not even a reaction to several disappointed freebies, or even a word on when the feature cut is going to be available beyond the 6 countries.

I'm telling you, that's not a good way to do business.

Today is my day to feel this way.

Aw... HUGS!!!

What are the Upfronts?

What are the Upfronts?

This is what Wikipedia says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upfront_(advertising)

[Platschu]

That is time when the biggest tv networks (NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS) announces what shows were cancelled, what were renewed then they present the first trailers and synopsises of future shows what are going to be aired in September. They also sell these shows to abroad as well, so it is worth of knowing what your country can buy etc. It can be interesting for us as we can know what tv shows are under production. Most of them were pretty boring and uninteresting for me, but most of them will be cancelled after the first season anyway.

The second link answered my question that MGM doesn't participitate in this yearly event.

I still don't want to believe that the SG franchise is over.

I've considered it dead the moment the SGU cancellation came through. I'm still surprised SG got any kind of continuation at all, as i expected a reboot some 10 years after SGU, which means we've still got a few more years to go.

To me, SG is now in the same boat than Half-Life 3.

If it happens, by some miracle or Divine intervention, I'm buying a round for all Gateworld users.

I'm quite confident you're safe.

I would literally give everything I own for another long running Stargate series.

Probably the reason why the Feature Cut isn't out yet is because it takes too long to unspin the spinning

I would also remaster the sound effects and the wormhole effects, so it could reach an almost rewatchable quality.

Well... As soon as they announce the Stargate : Phoenix officially, it will cost you a fortune....

or Stargate : Exodus, Stargate : Ragnarok, Stargate : Mahabharata... Stargate : Nevermind.

Same here.

All-access members got a mail about the extension but beyond that, not a peep.

Apparently, in spite of that, renewal notices are still going out. When members ask, an email goes out about ignoring that notice, that there was a foothold situation. Humorous, but one hand does not know what the other is doing.

or even a word on when the feature cut is going to be available beyond the 6 countries.

Yet, the app is available in Catalan, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese…

Aw... HUGS!!!

Thanks. I think JM blog was correct and it got to me. Feeling better today though. Back to sarcasm mode.

Hi, welcome! I still also want SGA Extinction, even as a comic, and would like to see what Christopher Judge would do with a Jaffa-related mini-series. But, my luck, these would be put under lock and key with Origins.

Would that inlcude 2 kidneys and a liver?

That was a practical effect so they would have to cut several frames -- would make it even shorter. They'll end up with a 42-minute episode if they're not careful.

Err... no, not really. You can change the language of the menu items in your profile screen and that menu that extents from the -- I kid you not -- icon they call the "hamburger" in the code, the circle with the horizontal lines.

I think it's just part of the template design. Everything is one-language-English, including the CC on the episodes and extras.

Would be interesting to see where they were going to go with that.

I would give up my freedom and serve a Goa'uld System Lord for a new Series. And I would sell my soul to see an ending to SGU.

There is always a catch to the listed features. I need to brush up on my Fair Witness training when writing about SGC. I should have said, "The listing at the Apple stores says that these languages are available," rather than taking it at face value.

Maybe if I got to pick which Goa'uld. Not sure about Ra.
