SG-1 DVD Films Get OK’d

SCI FI Channel’s original series Stargate SG-1 will wrap up its 10-year run this spring, but that’s not the end of the saga. Executive producer Brad Wright told TV Guide that MGM has granted a green light, and enough money, to produce two movies, most likely for DVD.
The first film will tie up most of the finale’s loose threads. “It’s the climax of the Ori storyline,” Wright said, and will be written and directed by executive producer Robert Cooper. The second film, written by Wright, will involve time travel, and both projects should debut in the fall of 2007.
Though no deals are signed, SG-1’s stars are said to be “very eager” to continue, Wright added. “They’re not big-budget [films] by any definition, but for us it’s pretty good,” he said. “As we’ve proven over the years, just give us little more money and we can make pretty good television or DVDs.”
It was only 30 years ago this week that JVC received a IEEE milestone for development of the VHS Video along with releasing the first VHS player. You kicked Mr. Betamax’s tail right into obilivion and if I have done my research correctly, you can celebrate three decades later by watching HD DVD kick another Sony proprietary media too, Blu-Ray.
Well, not yet.. but I am sure it will be happening soon… how about zombies on a 747?
