Stargate movie news.

Today is an awesome morning for Gateverse news.

Officially, the third SG-1 movie is a go! No shooting dates yet, but possibly this fall.

Even better, Richard Dean Anderson has signed on to appear in both the new movie AND the premiere of SGU. Michael Shanks was already confirmed to be in the SGU premiere, along with Gary Jones. It's very fitting IMO for Jack and Daniel to see the new series off, just like they did with SGA. *happy*

Also in news from Gateworld, Amanda Tapping will appear in SGU. That just leaves Teal'c and maybe some of the SGA crew to show up.

They're also confirming that at least one character on SGU will be canonically gay, and not just in the writers' minds this time. Spoilers at the link for which one is for certain; no word yet on the other(s).

I'm kind of looking forward to SGU, I have to admit. The casting has been interesting, we'll still get to see familiar faces, and I miss having Stargate on my TV.

I'm ridiculously excited for SGU. SGA turned into a lame mess and I'm hoping this one will be smarter. And a definite thumbs up for any talk of canonically gay characters. Well, as long as they end up being written well.

I admit I lost interest in SGA after a while, so I hope SGU manages to hold my interest. But nothing will be like the original. ♥

Nothing compares to the original.
