Stargate Universe

The working title of the third Stargate television series has been unveiled! The series currently exists in the form of a one-page treatment of the story and characters, with the title Stargate Universe, executive producer Robert C. Cooper told GateWorld exclusively.

The new series has been conceived to be "a completely separate, third entity," Cooper said in an interview -- "much more so than Atlantis was. Atlantis was much more of a spin-off seires of SG-1 and was sort of born out of SG-1."

Like many of the producers ideas, Cooper said, the idea for Stargate Universe was originally conceived as a stand-alone movie. "When we originally were sitting around talking about this we were trying to come up with ideas for a Stargate feature -- not an SG-1 feature or an Atlantis feature, but a feature that would fit into the Stargate franchise that we feel we have created," Cooper said. "We were thinking, 'How do we create a third arm to the franchise that is very connective and that fans will feel is born out of the material that has come before, but at the same time is very much something that stands alone?'

"When it became clear that a third series was a more realistic possibility at this point from the studio's standpoint, we figured out how to tweak that idea and give it a little more legs than it would have had as a one-off story. We always, in the back of our minds even in coming up with that concept, felt that it could launch a third series. ... But now that idea has become the core idea for the new show."

Stargate Universe will not be set in a different era, Cooper confirmed, neither as a prequel nor in the far future of the Stargate program.

"I'm not a big fan of prequels," he said. "I don't think that really works, and I don't really understand people who do think that works. One of the things that we love about Stargate is that is us -- it's our military, it's our scientists, it's our people -- and we're going out into the galaxy and the universe to discover all the wonders that are out there, and dealing with our own limitations versus things that are far more advanced than us.

"That's identifiable. It's what we deal with every day, in terms of medicine and science and astrophysics. We're just babies in all that. And we would always want to maintain that in anything that is Stargate-related."

In spite of being quite distinct in identity from SG-1 and Atlantis, the new series will be unmistakably Stargate. "It certainly plays into the mythology that has been pre-established," Cooper said. "But it doesn't directly relate to anything that has been in either series."

Cooper and executive producer Brad Wright plan to turn more attention to the new show's pilot script after wrapping principal photography on the two Stargate SG-1 movies, Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum this June. Stay with GateWorld for the very latest developments!

Hello Mr. Admin, e pacat sa facem un topic nou cand il avem pe asta http://forum.softped...t...0&start=390

Stiu despre acel thread, dar aici este o stire despre viitorul serialului, nu despre episoadele existente...

daa si eu cred ca discutia ar trebuia continuata pe topicul universul stargate   dar adminii hotarasc
insa sper ca richard dean anderson si shanks sa nu apara decat in primul episod al seriei.......ar fi misto sa fie pritre pers principale sau sa apara mai des......in mai multe eisoade de-a lungul seriei.....

din cate aud se zice ca o sa fie misto.....dar nu stiu daca o sa le placa celor care s-au obisnuit cu sg-1 si atlantis si din cate aud nu prea va avea legatura cu acestea.......oricum fara ceva actori din sg-1 si atlantis cred ca o sa iasa cam varza (ceva gen star trek sau battlestar galactica)...din fericire am auzit ca s-ar pueta sa vin michael shanks si richard dean anderson

lol nu a spus nimeni ca serialele acele sunt varza sunt fan BSG!
ce vroiam sa spun e ca ar fi plictisitor sa fie o copie a acestor seriale
