Answer: Yep.

Well, it's about time someone actually came out and said it. Now, if we could just see it in this decade!

I would say in 2010. Post-production takes so long(remeber AoT and Continuum)

I remember when BW mentioned something about being able to do it faster this time around, but I don't know how much faster. And if SciFi is involved upfront instead of just buying it later, it could be even longer than what it took with the first two! They'll air it when they need to to fill holes in the programming.

When will we see the green light for 3rd movie official press release?

GW: Your shooting schedule is usually late February to early October. And then for the two movies last year, they didn't come for almost a year after they had been shot. Is that going to be typical, do you think?

BW: Well, Continuum was ready a lot sooner. We finished the film, but our in-house visual effects department was devoting its energy still to The Ark of Truth. So it basically sat on the shelf waiting for the opportunity to go through the post-production process, rather than hiring a whole new, second group -- knowing that there was going to be a significant window between the two releases anyway.

Ark of Truth wasn't a year -- it was less than a year. Continuum was, because of that wait.

GW: I see filming in '07 and then the movies came out in '08, and seemed to be doing so well in sales, that I just kept waiting for MGM to say, "Let's do more! Let's do more!" But now if we're looking at shooting them in '09, is it going to be 2010 before we see SG-1 again?

BW: [...] Keep in mind: Nobody really knew ... we had a lot of faith that the Stargate movies were going to do really well, but they surprised everybody. Robert and I maybe were the least surprised, because of our belief in what we were trying to do -- but maybe everyone feels that way who makes a movie! But they surprised a lot of people, and it did well enough that I think things might happen faster the second time around.

I don't think they are, even though Vitale said...

Vitale said “we’re very interested in partnering with MGM to do additional SG-1 movies as well, and we’re talking about it.”

the third SG-1 movie will be a direct-to-DVD movie, not a tv movie like Atlantis

When will we see the green light for 3rd movie official press release?

no idea

Probably when they've got all the cast signed.

[…] What happened with the Children Of The Gods - special edition? Why did Mr. Wright postpone it? Will you ever make an SG-1 movie for theatrical release from even bigger budget (10-20-30 million $)?”

Answers: At present, we’re only scheduled to produce one SGA movie next year. No title or release date yet. I have no idea when the special edition of Children of the Gods will be released. Sorry, no plans for a big screen SG-1 theatrical release.

At least he answered to my questions.

[VSS]

I'd take three or four DVD movies over one theatrical release, anyway, if they had that much money to spend.

[Platschu]

I still believe in a big screen SG-1 movie. I hope the new Star Trek movie will convince MGM that it could work. Maybe they should make an SG-1-Atlantis cross-over episode to win every SG fan. The Serenity movie cost "only" 30-35 million dollar, so if we count how perfect could the SG staff divide up such budget (for bigger paying check, shooting locations, alien creatures and environments), than I think they could make a such scifi movie, what will reach the heart of every scifi fan. And even if it would be weak, than they could earn the money back from ticket and DVD sales. I really can't understand why MGM doesn't try to bring the franchise to an ever higher level.

IIRC it was actually 39 million

[Platschu]

Ok, but try to imagine a Continuum type film. It cost 10 million. If they spend the other 10-20 million only for CGI effects, sets, locations than we could get a perfect movie. They will not use ILM for effects, the actors won't get 10-20 million for a role. But they have a "well oiled machine". Their team are capable to almost everything and only the budget was not enough as they worked on a TV show. Ok, I don't expect honestly such detailed as a big A blockbuster, but I think they could make a relatively cheap, but also well-made B scifi. I believe in them.

How could it?

...and it didn't make money.

I think DVD movies are the way to go I think big screen would be a mistake, T.V. movies I think it would have a longer life. It not about the story of Stargate it is about that characters of Stargate that's why T.V. and movies are such different animals from what I can tell movies are more about stories while T.V are more about characters.
