SGA not renewed

Apparently they will go the movie route, too. The first one is being paid for by Sci Fi and will run there before it goes to DVD.

Ain't that just sucky? What's worse is that M&M will probably write the script.

What a waste.

I've never watched Atlantis, but I empathise with the fans who are upset at its cancellation. MGM is obviously making money out of the movies, but the logistics of gathering the cast together each time does concern me as to the long-term future of such a project.

I just found out. Blah.

Gateworld says M&M will definitely write the movie. More blah. I have liked both SG-1 movies, but Scribe is right, it will get more and more difficult to get the cast together. And it's not the same.

I think actor contracts ended, etc., so they probably didn't want to bother.

That's what I thought. They have unhappy cast members, they've got major friction between JF and JM. And they have to renegotiate everyone's contract.

Plus, I'm betting the producers get a decent amount of money for a feature and don't have to work nearly as hard as they would for 20 eps. The show was doomed when they put Mallozzi in charge because he is always looking for Easy Street.

I know you really liked this show and I'm sorry the series is over.

Very true. I think it might be easier to get the SG1 cast together as they are all willing; they can work around other projects if they're willing.

I think Flanigan despises Mallozzi and will be happy enough not to repeat Sheppard; he'll probably ask for a lot of money.

Huh. Good point. I figured Joe was probably looking for a paycheck comensurate with being the lead on a successful TV show. And friction with Malozzi would certainly make him even less willing to deal. I know Joe F. has nothing good to say about them getting rid of Torri.
