Michael Shanks Thinks SG-1′s Time has Passed, No More Movies

In an interview with SciFi Wire (via Airlock Alpha) to promote his guest stint on the “Smallville: Absolute Justice” TV movie, “Stargate” alum Michael Shanks sounds very pessimistic about ever going through the stargate ever again. Which means, of course, if you’ve been waiting for a third direct-to-DVD “Stargate: SG1″ movie, you should probably stop right now.

“Never say never. It’s always a possibility. But I think everybody’s moving on to a certain point, and with the new show doing well, everybody’s focusing their attention on that. The ‘SG-1’ idea is somewhat on the back burner, which is a little bit unfortunate, because I think one more story would have been a great way to bring Rick [Anderson] back in and really go there. But you know, business is business.”

One of the main reasons why I believe there hasn’t and probably won’t be any new “Stargate” movies (either with the “SG1″ or “Atlantis” crew) is the existence of “Stargate: Universe”. As long as that show remains on the air, I don’t see the producers dividing up their time and resources to “go back” (as they probably see it) to the old days. Right now, “Universe” is just so incongruous with the rest of the “Stargate” universe, I’m sure everyone who has a stake in the new show don’t want to remind people that “Stargate” existed before “Universe”, for better or worst.

Universe is starting to bore me, but a shower scene with everyone's favorite space Lt. would change all that. Hint hint, producers.

    “with the new show doing well”? Seriously?

    Every single episode of SGU i am reminded on how good SG1 and Atlantis were compared to this … thing.

    If SGUis going to create the new typical dark & gloomy, and reality TV-like standard for future Stargate movies and series after it, then the franchise is dead for me.

    I believe many people who still watch SGU are just hoping to see moments in the series that are similar to the great ones of the former series to give them hope that there is still time to get out of this mess and turn back to the roots of Stargate, to the less sex centric, less BSG clone, less reality, more lighthearted fun, more aliens, more actual story days.

    On the other hand, I understand if Shanks has enough of Stargate, afterall it was now about what, third his lifetime his job to be Daniel? So yes the original series and movies for it could get shelfed, but I hope for the Atlantis team to continue the movies and integrate into it old characters from the first series. A movie with all 4-5 doctors and scientists included together would I assume be really fun, as example.

    I like Rush in SGU, he looks quite happy to me by traveling thru space with his gay ship. nnOthers however are constantly moaning how they want to get home and doing some stupid stone communication with earth and that ruins it all for me. nnMatthew Scott, Chloe Armstrong, Telford, Ronald Greer should be removed.nn- ELI WALLACE is desiring a girlfriend but doesn’t get one because he is fat. DO SOMETHING! (Chloe Armstrong hint, hint)n- Matthew Scott already has a retarded ex girl on earth and a kid why does he additionally need Chloe Armstrong just because hes a fuc*er face?n- Telford, stupid clown. Constantly sitting by the stonesn- Ronald Greer they made him with such temperament that makes him look uber gay (his daddy was in army and spanked him,..) nn- TAMARA JOHANSEN is awsome (hot) in any perspective!^^ A big + for SGU.nnI think I quite like SGU.
