Robert C. Cooper: The Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth
Stargate: The Ark of Truth is the first of two straight-to-DVD movies to follow the tenth and final season of Stargate: SG-1. Ark of Truth is written and directed by executive producer Robert C. Cooper.
“Ben Browder happens to be very good at having the crap beat out of him,” he tells Bryan Cairns.
Once Stargate: SG-1 was cancelled, how did Ark of Truth get set up?
We wanted to do a straight-to-DVD or some form of long movie and take the show to another level. We had this as a back up plan should season 11 not get picked up. We also boxed ourselves into a financial decision where we were producing two shows; we had this infrastructure in place and it was benefiting both shows to have some crossover in terms of stage space and resources.
It was actually going to end up costing Atlantis to a certain extent not to have a sister production running. We needed to do something or rethink the way we did things around here. MGM was already embarking on a slate of straight-to-DVD movies so it just felt like a natural fit to extend the franchise that way and keep people excited about SG-1. If the question was directed more creatively, when we were discussing what the end of season 10 would be, I didn’t feel we had the time to do it justice. If people continue to watch the franchise and their biggest complaint is there is not enough, that they want more, well, that is okay.
