They [MGM] need to make some decisions. I think we are at the point of finding out soon. We know what we are doing and what we want to do. We are excited about the prospect but as long as Atlantis is going strong and as long as there are prospects for new movies, it doesn’t matter to me if my next project is two more movies for next year. Essentially, we would put a third series off another year but MGM wants one. They know the franchise is still strong.

The money we had to do Atlantis was barely enough to do it right and the dollar had just skyrocketed.

The strike is only, frankly, part of it. We pitched an expensive series. The idea we have is not cheap. Universe, if we do it the way we want to do it, is very expensive, and I think we've proven ourselves, so "Can we please have enough money to do it right this time?" And if not, then honestly I don't want to do it. Why do it wrong?

GW: You were spinning your third movie idea. What can you tell us?
BW: It's an O'Neill story, and I would include as many of our cast as we could, both financially and in terms of availability. These are talented people. They may well not be available at our beck and call the next time we want to make a movie, and that's what happens. But you know what? They have a good time when they come. I think these guys had a good time making Continuum.
Is it likely we'll ever get them all again? That's kind of unlikely, just because of the math. But our core folks, I will move heaven and earth to get them if I can. I think that Jack and Daniel and Carter and Teal'c, and Mitchell now, to a certain extent, and Landry now, to a certain extent, are part of the fabric of SG-1. And fans will get mad at me if I don't put them in it.
