Stargate Movie Fan Campaign

[chrono trigger]

I think sg-1 has the highest probability because it was the series that lasted the longest and already has successful movies

i hope your right as i want sg1 first then sga and im not bothered if they do a sgu one but it would be nice for the fans of it.

[major davis]

I think the producers and MGM will have a long talk about stargate and look at all options.. progress was being made on the movies, but now with SGU being canceled a lot of things changed.. I think we'll hear news on all three series soon...

Yes. It's pretty much time for MGM to fish or cut bait....

Weekly Announcement
12/20/2010

We want to wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday season. With so much turmoil and uncertainty these days may we all take time to enjoy the simple things and revel in the every day pleasures that family, friends and the season can offer.

This will be our last update until after the New Year. However that doesn't mean our support for SG1, SGA and the movies will be taking a break.
So What is Happening?
1. Fan fic contest entry deadline on Dec. 30th
2. Cell Phone for Soldiers Drive
3. Support SG1 and SGA: Twitter, Hulu, Syfy Rewind
4. SG1 and SGA Product of the Week suggestions
5. New SG1 and SGA contests TBA in 2011


News this Week
As everyone likely knows, SGU was cancelled this week by Syfy. Regardless of one's own personal opinion of the show, we want to express our sympathy to SGU fans. Losing a show that one loves' is never easy - especially with so many stories left untold and dreams unrealized.


What is the fate of the SG1 and SGA movies?
At this point no one knows.
What we do know is that Stargate has been a successful franchise for 15 years and MGM continues to make money from SG1 and SGA. We know that Hollywood loves franchises. We know that MGM has stood behind SG for 15 years, so much so it was even mentioned in the bankruptcy papers how successful the franchise has been.

The future of the SG franchise is in MGM/Spyglass hands. Our belief is if SG is still profitable for them, they will find a way to continue it. The movies could be a very viable option for them.

The 2011-2012 TV season will be the first with no new Stargate in 14 years. It is critical that we show MGM/Spyglass that fans support SG1 and SGA. We really need to up the fight for the greenlight! Show your support on Twitter #fightforthegreenlight and be sure to send out your cards and Tweets telling MGM/Spyglass that we want more Stargate!



Ways to support Stargate SG1 and SGA over the Holidays:

For the last few weeks we ran a "Greenlight the Movies" mail campaign directed at Spyglass. If you did not have a chance to participate, then PLEASE do so NOW. It is not too late. Click HERE for how.

Twitter, Twitter and Twitter some more. The message is:
" I support #SG1 & #SGA. Please Greenlight the #Stargate movies."
Use #fightforthegreenlight" in ALL your tweets.

Free - Watch an episode of SG1, SGA on HULU and/or Syfy rewind

Buy - a Stargate gift for your friend, a family member or best of all yourself! See our PRODUCT OF THE WEEK for links to the MGM store and Amazon for great gift ideas.

Save Stargate Games Campaign:
Major Davis from the Stargate Movies Campaign recently did a podcast with Zainea13 from www.savestargate.org a campaign dedicated to saving "Stargate: Resistance" and "Stargate Worlds" games. Their goal is to also show MGM that there is a market for Stargate video games in the event that they are not able to save Resistance or Worlds.

In the podcast, the discussion centered on the two campaigns, support between the campaigns, the state of the franchise, how "Stargate: Universe's" cancellation may affect the campaign, and much more.
Listen to the PODCAST

For more information on the Save the Stargate Games you check them out on TWITTER or on FACEBOOK, and/or sign the PETITION to help keep the games alive.

Weekly Announcement for 01.04.2011



First and foremost, we hope all our fellow Stargate fans had a safe and healthy holiday season and we wish you all the best in this new year.


MOVIE NEWS
As we know, the end of 2010 brought some tough times for Stargate with the cancellation of SGU and writer/producer Joe Mallozzi saying in his daily blog that the SGA Movie has been put on indefinite hold. The campaign's goals have always been to support SG1 and SGA as well as rally support for the movies. We have no plans to cease and desist just yet and we ask that you not throw in the towel either.

There is still so much we don't know about the status of the movies, the state of the franchise and MGM future plans. We have the statement from JM that the movie is on hold, however where does that information come from? JM's interpretation? From MGM? From Brad Wright?

On Dec 23rd, JM stated in his blog: "Which brings me to a conversation I had with Stargate Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer/Writer Brad Wright today. Alas, no details to offer (yet!) but suffice it to say he’s battling hard to ensure the franchise (that’s SG-1, Atlantis, and SGU) lives on and that the season two finale of Universe, “Gauntlet”, will not be the end. He’s adopted a clever two-pronged approach that, if successful, will see our awesome crew back at work next year. Nothing is guaranteed, but it’s great to hear he’s got a plan to make it happen... "
Then on Dec 26th JM stated, " I’m sorry to say but the cancellation puts the brakes on whatever progress the SGA movie had made in the past month, shelving it indefinitely."

The information provided over a 2-3 day period, is somewhat contradictory. What one can conclude is that there is still a lot going on that we (and probably JoeM) doesn't know about and that Brad Wright and MGM are actively discussing the future of SG. Until something is officially announced, it would seem the status of the movies is the same as they were one year ago; shelved but not officially cancelled.


Therefore the Movie Campaign's New Years Resolutions are to:

1. Continue supporting SG1 and SGA.
2. Continue to rally for the greenlight for the SG1 and SGA movies until more definitive word or info comes from MGM that the movies will not happen.
3. Continue to enjoy and celebrate all the good things that we and fans love about SG1 and SGA


BEST WAY TO SUPPORT SG1 and SGA NOW?

Buy SG1 and SGA merchandise - DVD's, books, audiobooks, posters, calendars, action figures, comic books etc..... check out our PRODUCT of the WEEK for all the suggestions, with links, on the website.

We know we sound like a broken record and we know most of you have already bought your fair share of SG stuff but really this is the best thing to do as it shows MGM that SG1 and SGA are still profitable.

Did you, or a family member, co-worker, or friend get a new cell phone over the holidays? If you did please consider donating the old, unused one to Cell Phones for Soldiers.

This very worthy cause takes money earned from the donation of old cell phones to buy and send phone cards to military personnel serving overseas so they can call home. Help give our troops the best holiday gift ever this season, a chance to hear the voices of their loved ones. Donate today and help military families cope with deployment.

The donation will cost you little to no money as there is a FREE pre paid shipping label available to print off from the website.

Weekly Announcement... 1/11/11

MOVIE/MGM NEWS
http://z7.invisionfree.com/SG_Movies...p?showforum=13

The only new mention about SGA, SG1 and the franchise came from Joe Mallozzi's blog on Jan 4th in which he posted, "After lunch, I spoke to Brad about the future of the franchise. We discussed “the plan”, Universe mainly, but also talked SG-1 and Atlantis. No word on progress yet but, given the recent holidays, that’s to be expected I suppose. Hopefully, we’ll receive some positive news next week."


CAMPAIGN
The final fate of the movies, and likely the franchise at this point is with MGM. As we stated in December, we believe this is a very pivotal time for the future of the movies as well as the SG franchise in general. Time may be running out for fans to express their support. We need to work together, and we need to do it now.


TELL MGM that FANS SUPPORT the STARGATE MOVIES!!!

CALL to ACTION!
By Friday, 1/14/2011 Please:

1. TWEET this message to MGM:

Fans support the #Stargate #SG1 and #Stargate Atlantis #SGA movies-Please greenlight the movies #fightforthegreenlight


http://twitter.com/mgm_studios

http://twitter.com/stargatecommand


*Please tweet/retweet the above message with #fightforthegreenlight in the message by this Friday 5:00 pm EST - and we will pick one person to win the new Stargate Atlantis 2011 Calendar


2. SEND a LETTER to MGM

Tweets are good - but the BEST way to express support is with a letter:

Please send MGM/Spyglass a letter expressing support for the Stargate Franchise and the SG1 and Stargate Atlantis movies.

*Note: we know not all fans are franchise fans, however MGM considers Stargate a franchise and will be looking at it from that business perspective. SG1 and SGA are part of the franchise - that is how MGM views it - therefore we need to let MGM know that greenlighting the SGA and SG1 movies is good for the franchise

Dear Mr.

I have been a longtime fan of the MGM Stargate television series.

I want to take this opportunity to express my support of Stargate and the Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis movies that are currently on hold. Please consider greenlighting these movies as myself and fans around the world are still anxiously anticipating their release and have the desire to purchase the movies. Having the Stargate movies go into production would certainly revitalize and strengthen the franchise.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
(Sign your name and address)

MGM/Movie News

http://z7.invisionfree.com/SG_Movies...p?showforum=13

The only information continues to come from Joe Mallozzi's blog. Basically nothing has changed; the focus remains on finding a way to continue SGU and there has been "no movement" on the SGA movie. Also, when asked about the SG1 movie, he made no comment.

We understand things seem rather discouraging at the moment, but the truth is no one knows, and this likely includes TPTB and MGM, what will happen to SGA, SG1 or even the franchise at this point. Will there be movies or do TPTB have another plan in mind or is there no hope at all? NO one knows for sure. Until we have definitive word the campaign will continue to rally support for SGA and SG1. We should continue to let MGM know fans support SGA and SG1, that we want the greenlight for the movies and most importantly, enjoy being SG1 and SGA fans.

Weekly Announcement 1.24.2011


Will there be Stargate Movies?
No one can answer that question with 100% certainty at this time.
What we do know is that MGM and Brad Wright are actively engaged at looking at the franchise and deciding its fate.
Will there be more SGU? Will there be SGA and SG1 movies? Or are they considering a combination of SG1/SGA movie, miniseries or something else?

So what do we do?
Since the fate of the franchise, and thus the possibilty of seeing SGA and SG1 continue in some way, is still undecided, this is not the time to give up! Now, more than ever, we should let MGM know that as they make their decisions about the fate of the Stargate franchise, that fans still want and support SGA and SG1 being a vital part of the franchise.



TELL MGM that FANS SUPPORT STARGATE SG1 and SGA!!!
