Third SG-1 Film Moves Ahead!
MGM has officially given the green light for production of a new Stargate SG-1 TV/DVD movie. Executive producer Brad Wright told Stargate Magazine, “I can almost guarantee we are proceeding with the third SG-1 movie this year.” He said that deals are still being worked out, but he plans to make it the same Jack O’Neill-centric film he first teased in 2008.

Issue Spotlight
Practical Magic
Explosives? Check. Water Cannon? Check. A slightly singed Richard Dean Anderson? Check. Bringing you the lowdown on the making of the shows in the Stargate franchise, Stargate Magazine interviews special effects coordinator Scott Stofer in the latest issue, and reveals the challenges of working on an SF TV show.
Features
Robert Carlyle
The new issue features a major interview with the latest star of Stargate, Robert Carlyle. The British actor of The Full Monty and Trainspotting fame will play Dr. Nicholas Rush in the forthcoming spin-off Stargate Universe. He tells us about the Stargate Universe experience, and reveals all about his complex, mysterious character: “There’s nothing left for him on Earth. This is the best potential for exploration mankind has ever known. That’s what’s driving Rush, and therefore he’s probably not to be trusted by anyone on the crew.”
Michael Shanks
Stargate Magazine interviews a legend of the franchise in the latest issue. As well as looking forward to life beyond Stargate, Michael Shanks recalls his fondest memories from more than ten years on SG-1 playing the intrepid Daniel Jackson: “I always enjoyed playing the villains when Daniel was possessed or went bad himself. With villains, you can be a loose cannon and the most fun I’ve had playing one has been in Burn Notice. The character has no rules or guidelines, so you can behave a little more chaotically. As Victor, I got to chew a lot more scenery than I ever had before.”
Top 10 Devices
Part of Stargate Command’s mission was to retrieve alien technology that could be used to defend Earth from extra-terrestrial threats. So, which were the most useful alien devices the SG-1 found? Could it be the Ancient Knowledge Device (pictured left) that featured in The Fifth Race and The Lost City? The device certainly helped push humanity towards its ultimate destiny as the galaxy’s “fifth race,” but it was only really useful if you don’t mind your brain exploding after use! Find out where it features on our top ten countdown in the latest issue.
