FROM JOE MALLOZZI'S BLOG
Recent updates include this comment, "if and when we finally do get the green light, Brad has some wonderful surprises in store for fans of SGU (as well as fans of the Stargate franchise in general)."
A few days later a blog entry had this Q&A: "Does that fact that you referred to that script (Extinction) as “that script” mean it will never see the green light..?” Answer: "Not necessarily but, like I already said, the cancellation of SGU has stymied whatever progress the SGA script had made..."
More updates/links can be found on the campaign forum.
While these blog entries indicate the movies are unlikely to happen, the fact that MGM has not closed the book yet on the Stargate franchise is good news, and means there are still opportunitiues for SG1 and SGA.
We firmly believe that if there is a future for the Stargate Franchise it will need to include the SG1 and SGA movies. MGM may be considering the movies, or another production idea for continuing SGA/SG1 or no SGA/SG1 at all.
We should not give MGM a pass on these movies that fans were assured would be made! Let's continue to fight for SGA and SG1 - let's make sure that MGM knows that fans have not given up the movies and that the future of Stargate Franchise must include SG1 and SGA!!!

A personal note from MarieWynn:
As some of you might have noticed, I have been missing from the campaign for a little while and thus been unable to update the website or keep up with Twitter and LiveJournal all that well. Unfortunately, a member of my family that is very near to my heart passed away and as such I have been taking the time to grieve and be with my family. I tell you this only so you know that my dedication to the campaign has not wavered in the slightest.
As life goes on after loss, so does my commitment to the campaign and to get these movies greenlit. I would like to personally thank each of you for your patience while I have been away. And I would also like to express my appreciation for my nomination to the Shorty Awards on Twitter for savestargate. The nomination came at a very hard time and it was very uplifting to know my Stargate family was thinking of me. Thank you again and be sure to check out the updates on the website, which will be fully updated by tomorrow!
When the going gets tough, Stargate fans Fight for the Greenlight,
Major Davis, MarieWynn, Eden SG
