Stargate cast and crew seek new Sanctuary

[xnitexmarex248]

Uhh....okay.

This is probably stupid since well...I'm a little out of it today, but does this mean:

1. It's an actual series.
2. This *isn't* the new series set to air.

Any other info would be nice...I'm probably needlessly confused, right?

I spotted it on one of the BC Film Lists awhile ago, so there will be filming of some kind. Its not on the one at the BC Film Commission yet, not sure why.
Thats pretty much all I know.

If by "new series" you meaen new Stargate, then no it's not that. It's a new series that stars Amanda Tapping. Several Stargate behind the scenes people are also part of it. But it IS NOT part of the Stargate universe even though it was filmed at the same studio Stargate is.

They filmed 4 episodes. They will air in the net, not on tv. So far no word it Sancuary will go farther than that. Depends on the draw. It's an experiment. If it's quality I hope it does well. If not, well they thought outside the Stargate box for a bit.

I reckon it sounds awesome. This viewer "interaction" thing intrigues me.

Yep. It's definitely one of the aspects that will set it apart from traditional television shows.

Thank you for clearing that up! At least now it makes sense.

The episodes don't have a release date yet, do they?

Things we presently know about the new series Sanctuary...

It is not the third Stargate series. It is a whole new entity completely separate of the Stargate franchise. However, several people involved with the Stargate franchise are also involved with the production of Sanctuary.

Executive Producers: Martin Wood, Amanda Tapping, N. John Smith, Damian Kindler, amongst others. Jim Menard is also involved with the new series.

Cast includes Amanda Tapping, Christopher Heyerdahl (Pallan, Revisions), Robin Dunne
and several cast members yet to be named.

David Hewlett will guest star in several episodes.

Amanda first mentioned this project back in July 2006 at the Shore Leave Convention. She couldn't say much other than she would be a member of the cast as well as an EP and that the sci-fi genre had been very good to her and she hoped we liked the new project.

Sanctuary, is the first of it's kind internet series -- meaning each of the episodes will be broadcast via the internet and will be open to all borders, so fans from countries other than Canada and the US will have full access.

Each episode is expected to be the traditional 40-min length; however, Sanctuary will not be bound by time constraints as most television shows are so each episode may vary depending on the length of the story they wish to tell.

The only information given thus far about the series' story is that it will have a similiar feel to Batman Begins and that there is a possibility that the series will have a level of interactivity.

There are currently four episodes already filmed and whether or not there will be more will depend upon the support they receive from viewers.

At present, the new series will be aired sometime in Spring 2007 and more information about the series will be added soon to the Sanctuary Website.

Oooh, I dind;t know Martin Wood and Damian Kindler are also involved! yay.

Makes you wonder tho how much hey'll be able to manipulate between Sanctuary/ SGA/ SG1 movies.

Amanda looks weird. Cool weird.

[Neorapsta]

I wonder if they'll go pay per view or ad-based to pay for more episodes if they do choose to continue.

Thanks for copying that and showing it to us. The bolded part is interesting to me, because it looks like some kind of extended tagline that would be used in an advertisement, but there's nothing like that on the website right now.

I'm only just learning about HTML, so maybe there's a reason for it not actually showing up. Either way, it's good to know.
