 | Congratulations from everyone at SDJ to David Hewlett, best known to fans of Stargate: Atlantis as Dr Rodney McKay, whose movie A Dog's Breakfast hit the Amazon pre-order chart this week.
The movie, which stars fellow Stargate actors Paul McGillion (with an extremely scary hairdo), Rachel Luttrell, Christopher Judge and David's sister Kate Hewlett, will be available from September 18th but there's been unexpected demand from fans for the dvd, written and directed by Hewlett. Sci Fi Wire reports that at one point the dvd was in the top 20 when Amazon began taking orders last week. To order the movie, go here. |
Fancy owning a piece of sci fi history? Our friends at Michael Shanks Online have just launched their third annual auction, in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, and they could have just the item you're looking for!
Approximately 100 items will feature in the auction, covering scripts, merchandise and photographs from a variety of Vancouver-based shows including Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica and Supernatural. Many of the items are donated by actors from those shows, with donations coming from Michael Shanks (including the shirt off his back from an early college appearance), Lexa Doig, Stargate: Atlantis cast members including David Hewlett, Torri Higginson and Rachel Luttrell, as well as fan favourites Don S Davis and Teryl Rothery, to name but a few.
For the first lot of items and more information about the auction, go here.
There'll be villains old and new in the Stargate SG-1 movies that are currently filming. In Stargate SG-1: Continuum, a familiar face returns to plague the SGC - system lord Nirrti returns, according to Jacqueline Samuda's official website. It's also been confirmed that Morena Baccarin will appear in Stargate SG-1: The Ark of Truth, reprising her role as Ori leader Adria; there's a follow-up role too for Sarah Strange (ReGenesis) who played ascended being Morgan le Fay in the Stargate SG-1 season 10 episode 'The Pegasus Project'.
Meanwhile, Michael Shanks let slip some spoilers, talking about the link (or not?) between a certain development in the series finale 'Unending' (due to air in the US on June 22) that fans seemed to either love or hate, and the upcoming movies. If you don't mind spoilers, you can find out more here.
In April, we reported that both Stargate: Atlantis and actor David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) had received nominations for this year's Spacey awards - both managed to pick up awards at the ceremony over the past weekend, SG:A winning the tough 'Favourite TV Show' category while Hewlett won 'Favourite TV character'. For more on the awards, go here.
Meanwhile, the Sci Fi Channel has confirmed that former-Firefly actress Jewel Staite will be appearing in the upcoming season of Stargate: Atlantis, with heavy hints being dropped that her character (Dr. Jennifer Keller) may have a romantic entanglement with someone on the show. For more on Staite's role and what the showrunners have planned for newly-promoted Colonel Carter, not to mention the show as a whole, go here if you don't mind spoilers.
