It will be interesting to see what happens and if the project is dead in the water or not – further research shows news of funding issues, staff cuts and shoddy ‘craftsmanship’. Even in the below interview with Michael Shanks he refers the the growth of the Stargate Franchise beyond the series with movies and ‘failed video games’.

Another cool Stargate related thing is the theatrical trailer for Stargate Universe was released over the weekend. I’m interested to see how this show pans out – it looks at first glance to be a darker show with more of a space drama feel: think Stargate cross Battlestar Galactica. It even has a Battlestar Galactica-esque premise: A bunch of explorers from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities are stuck on a spaceship roaming the ether, with no way of returning home. The spaceship in question is an Ancient ship on autopilot that is seeding stargates across a distant galaxy.

Check the trailer here:
