UPDATE April 20 2011 – Producer, Brad Wright recently reported at a Vancouver convention that both Stargate Extinction as well as Stargate Revolution have been permanently shelved. The confirmation came at the same time when the announcement of the failure to secure an SGU movie, was also announced. Consequently, there is no aspect of the franchise which is expected to reappear in the foreseeable future. .A full report is to be posted shortly however readers can visit Gateworld for a full report .
Stargate Revolution[Third Stargate SG1 film]
A brand new Stargate SG1 movie has been approved by MGM studios.Filming for the feature length film was scheduled to initialize by fall 2009, however the film has been placed on hold due to the current economic crisis and due to the fact that MGM has claimed bankruptcy[ see further below for full details]. The film has been penned by Brad Wright and Carl Binder.It is still unclear if the film will first be shown on SyFy or if it will be initially released on DVD just like the previous two Stargate films, Stargate: Ark of Truth and Stargate Continuum .
The film is expected to revolve around Jack O’ Neill[Richard Dean Anderson]. During the Vancouver 2009 Convention, co creator of the film, Brad Wright specifically indicated that “I had a story idea that really worked with O’Neill. And it’s not just his character, by any means. It’s a Stargate story that brings O’Neill back in a big way.” Readers should note that the feature was initially expected to be released on DVD sometime between early spring to early summer of 2010.The storyline is expected to occur between the end of the previous Stargate SG1 film, Stargate Continuum and the commencement of the Stargate franchise’s third series, Stargate Universe.
Information on the film’s main cast is now available.Amanda Tapping has communicated that she will be appearing in the movie.Tapping played the brilliant astrophysicist, Samantha Carter in Stargate SG1 for all ten seasons. Michael Shanks has confirmed his involvement in the film as well.Shanks played the role of the archaeologist ,Dr.Daniel Jackson from seasons 1-5 and seasons 7-10 of Stargate SG1.Christopher Judge will be returning in the film as the Jaffa,Tealc whom Judge played during all seasons of Stargate SG1. However, actors have yet to be contacted for official negotiations.
Stargate Creator and Executive producer,Brad Wright has indicated on a Question and Answer session on executive producer, Joseph Mallozzi’s blog thatVala Maldurin[Claudia Black] will not be returning for the third Stargate SG1 movie saying that ” I thought Claudia [Black] was terrific in Continuum, but Vala won’t be returning in the third movie“.Wright also communicated that it will be highly unlikely to have the entire cast in the same movie. The reasoning/cause behind this limitation is with respects to availability among many other concerns .Our speculation is that the budget for future films is a contributing factor.Readers are encouraged to visit frequently as further developments occur.

You know, please do ask for it because if it happens … I mean, I’d love it to happen. But as the years go by, it gets more and more difficult for that to happen because we’re all off in different directions. I mean Jason [Momoa] is Conan, for God’s sake![ Actor, David Hewlett on a recent interview with Gateworld]

August 16 2009- Stargate Films Delayed
Due to the current economic downturn, the third Stargate SG1 film and the first Stargate Atlantis movie titled Stargate Extinction have been placed on hold, reports Sci Fi Wire.Stargate Co creator, Robert C Cooper explained in a recent interview, the concerns expressed from both the producers and MGM studios which caused this delay.
We’re ready to go,” Cooper said in an exclusive interview over the weekend in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting SGU at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. “We’re just waiting for the right opportunity,” he said. “We want to be successful with it. The studio wants to be successful, and we really don’t want to proceed with something in the wrong climate, which I think financially it is right now.”
Although two straight to DVD films, Stargate;The Ark of Truth and Stargate Continuum were released just in March 2008 and July 2008, respectively, Cooper indicated that the current economic crisis has reduced the sales of DVD premieres .
“It’s tough, because we were very successful with the first two SG-1 movies,” Cooper said. “Since then, the economics have changed a little bit. DVDs aren’t selling the same way they were when we released those even just a year, and a year and a half ago.”
Readers should note that prospects for the eventual production of Stargate Extinction are optimistic as MGM is still paying rent for the Atlantis studio which consequently remains standing.The Cheyenne Mountain stage of Stargate SG1 has been remade to suit the environment of the upcoming Stargate Universe.It has , however, been communicated by executive producer of Stargate Extinction and consulting producer of Stargate Universe, Joseph Mallozzi that the stage can be remade for the production of the third SG1 film.
As a result of the delay in production, a release date cannot be indicated at this time.It is anticipated that the production for the films will initialize the foreseeable future.Best of luck is extended to the Stargate productions during this difficult time.
UPDATE – It should be noted that the set for Stargate Extinction [ Atlantis] has since been removed.Further details will be provided as they are obtained.
July 18 2010- SGU/ SGA Crossover Finalized
Producer, Joseph Mallozzi revealed on his blog that two cast members from Stargate Atlantis will guest star in their respective roles in a crossover for the 15th episode of Stargate Universe’s second season entitled, Seizure. There is no word yet on exactly which characters will be reappearing.
As a result of these appearances, Mallozzi indicated that slight changes will be made to the script of he impending Stargate Atlantis film, Stargate Extinction. ““There was a reluctance to move ahead with an SGA crossover, particularly on my part,” Mallozzi said, “because the feeling was it would step on the timing of the SGA movie, Stargate: Extinction, the events of which directly [followed] the Atlantis series finale, ‘Enemy At the Gate .’But given the delay on the movie front and the idea premise pitched out by Remi Aubuchon and Brad Wright, it was decided to go ahead with the crossover. Not a big deal, but it will require some changes to the Stargate: Extinction timeline which, in turn, will beg a host of questions, some of which will be answered in episode #15, some of which won’t … at least not right away.” To see a list of these hosts of questions, head over to Mallozzi’s blog.
Mallozzi has since repeatedly asserted that the involvement of Atlantis characters will not affect the core conflict of the film. He specifically indicated that “The changes made to the script will have to do with the timing of events (essentially the set-up) and won’t influence the heart of the story”. Essentially, the appearances will help provide certain details regarding the aftermath of the series finale of Stargate Atlantis, Enemy At the Gate which will in turn require the script to be altered in a way so that such details are not repeatedly conveyed and that the storyline remains true to the timeline. Having the Stargate Extinction storyline occur after the appearances on Stargate Universe would therefore not contradict with any of the circumstances or situations surrounding the characters’ appearances in the series and the situation on Atlantis as the film would take place afterwards.
We look forward to seeing the Atlantis cast members reprise in their roles in Stargate Universe and we strongly hope that we will eventually have the opportunity to revisit the characters of Atlantis in Stargate Extinction.
UPDATE – It was revealed in the San Diego Comic Con that the two Atlantis guest stars scheduled to appear in the fifteenth episode of Stargate Universe’s second season, Seizure are David Hewlett and Robert Picardo who will reprise in their roles as Dr. Rodney McKay and Richard Woolsey respectively. A further overview will be posted shortly.
September 29 2010-Producer, Brad Wright recently indicated in a interview with TV DeathRay that there is still a realistic possibility that the Stargate Movies may be produced. Wright added that there is a another innovative business plan being discussed with MGM , which may help expedite the production of the films, despite the current economic downturn and MGM’s negative financial situation
During the interview,Wright specifically stated the following in regards to the Stargate Movies.
“The only thing that is blocking the SG-1 movie or the Atlantis movie, the only thing, is the fact that the direct-to-DVD market has gone away. We were very fortunate with Ark of Truth and Continuum to be among the last very successful direct-to-DVD releases before it all stopped happening. The market has change, and it’s still changing, and it’s not what it was. And, of course, there have been very big changes at MGM that kind of added to that. But we had the intentions to make them. We were ready to go, and it was “Wait a while” and “We should wait a little longer,” and the climate never got better. We held on to a lot of stuff and were ready to go for a very long time, but that doesn’t mean it’s not gonna happen. We have a plan B, and I’ve been talking with MGM about it, and hopefully we’ll still get our chance.”
For a complete read of the interview, in which Wright also discusses the second season of Stargate Universe and the SGU/ SGA crossover with Robert Picardo and David Hewlett, please visit TV DeathRay.
Indeed , we strongly anticipate that this alternate business approach will succeed and as a result both Stargate Revolution and Stargate Extinction will enter production.
November 7 2010 : MGM Officially Files For Bankruptcy, Increasing Hope For Stargate Films

Spyglass Entertaintments and its associated subsidiaries.Spyglass chiefs, Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, would now act as co chief officers for MGM.

Here are three commonly known disadvantages of homework.
1.Homework can diminish the amount of time a child can spend on other activities such as sports, family time , leisure and other enjoyable yet beneficial opportunities.Homework swamps a child , making them very overwhelmed.Stress, depression , anxiety and other negative psychological effects can result.
2.Homework can also cause a child to believe that learning and homework have a direct connection.The child may therefore avoid true and natural learning opportunities.The child would essentially limit curiosity .A true personal and intellectual passion towards a particular field from the child may be in jepordy.A lack of curiosity towards learning may, in the future, result in the child exhibiting less enthusiasm in general as the individual would have shut the door of learning and exploring fascinating concepts as result of a negative primary educational experience.
3.Students who find homework difficult may believe that they are dumb and incapable of performing.Such individuals may lose self-confidence in themselves.These individuals may find themselves engaged in inappropriate activities merely because they feel they are incapable of succeeding and developing academic orientated skills/talents.
