Stargate Universe Writers

[frostwolf]

Ok so I hadn't seen this listed anywhere and if there is a thread about this already just shut this down and direct me to the correct one. I was wondering about the writers for Universe. On Mallozzi's blog he said the department was down to 5 writters, but if I read who was writing for which episode slot of Universe all 7 writers of Atlantis are working on Universe scripts. Will this then be the last Stargate Stories from 2 of them and if so anyone know who are the ones leaving Stargate?

i dont know if any are leaving but i did read somewhere that new writers are being looked for...so i guess they are keeping everyone but adding some new blood also

I was looking on Wikipedia and the Stargate Universe page still list them as writers the only one I didn't see as listed as writer is Alan McCullough. Alan is listed as writting episode 108 though. In JM's blog he says ". Otherwise, a fairly quiet day. Given recent developments, the writing staff now numbers five, but there is talk of adding at least one more newbie to the mix in addition to freelancers." So 2 of the regulars are leaving and 1 new one being hired and use of free lancers for Universe, that is unless I am miss reading the blog, which is possible since it sometimes can be cryptic. The link to that post is below though.

Answer: Quite possibly.

Answer: We have invited at least one female writer to pitch.

Yeah, I really wonder what writers will be leaving SG?

Really? "invited at least one female writer to pitch"? (clearly, today was not a good day to skip JM's blog... btw, thanks Jumper_One for the info). I gotta say, I'm pretty excited about that. It should certainly be interesting.

As do I. Guess we'll all be wondering for a while.

My money's on Matrin an Alan leaving. we know that Brad, Rob and Carl are producers on the show and since Paul & Joe are still working on the SGA movie i cant see them leaving brigde studios any time soon.

invited dosent mean there will actually be an episode written by a female writer. she may decline the offer, the pitch may not work etc....

It would be interesting to see if they hire an woman writer for Universe. They might not even offer a position to the woman who ever she is if they didn't like her pitch though.

i wonder if the female writer is going to be katheryn powers! probably not, but she invented the asgard so it would be cool

[thevarrior]

I'm... not really sure why people care if there's a female writer or not. I want a GOOD writer, male or female or whatever.

In Joe latest blog mailbag bit he hint that he has invited authors of the books he read to write episodes.

Their also possibility that two writers may be put solely in charge of writing and producing the films and focus their attention on that area, I think they themselves have spoke of the time it takes to write and produce them and most of the writers on the team seem to do both at the moment, so putting two soley in charge of that area would make sense to me.

I will look forward to new writers coming present on to the team but I would of like it to have been done before the first scripts was written and most of the casting decisions have been made. I know only one cast member as been announce at the moment but the rest of the cast must be in the stage of agreeing terms and signing contracts given it only four or five weeks until production begins.
