Mallozzi talking about the SGA movie...
Aug. 24th, 2008 10:39 am... here. I'm still bitter about the cancellation but I'm trying to stay positive and in this article, there were some things that gave me some hope...
* "I can't predict whether an ongoing series of Atlantis-based movies will prove successful," Mallozzi said. "However, if the performance of the two SG-1 movies is anything to go by, the audience is out there." - please, please, please, let the movie be a success *prays* I will be pre-ordering it the moment it pops-up on Amazon!
* "While the adventure will be stand-alone, the character moments will certainly draw on past experiences and future potential."
* "While I like the idea of some crossover, I think SG-1 movies should be SG-1 movies and Atlantis movies Atlantis movies," he said. "Two movies of each a year would be a true best case scenario." - I agree, please, no Xover movies. And it would be awesome if we could get two movies a year of each. MGM realized that the films bring in money so maybe they'll be willing to give more money to make more of them? From what I heard, the Stargate franchise is second only to James Bond in MGM's pockets. And two movies would be like a mini-series and I could be content with that.
* In a recent post at his blog, the producer also noted that the number of Stargate movies produced each year will depend in part on scheduling. "I think that we could produce as many as three Stargate (either SG-1 or Atlantis) movies a year," he said. "Four is a long-shot, but very possible." - please, let him be right for once! Please? With a cherry on top?
