Continuum Made Character Suffer



The upcoming straight-to-DVD movie Stargate: Continuum, based on SCI FI Channel's original series Stargate SG-1, gave producers a chance to wreak havoc on a main character to serve the exigencies of the film's location shooting.

"I had to finish the Arctic scenes first, before we started to shoot [Stargate: The] Ark of Truth," Wright said in an interview in Vancouver, Canada, last week. "It was kind of weird. We shot all the Arctic scenes, and then took a long, long break, shot another movie and then did Continuum."

"There's a nobility of the character, and that's fun to do in a time-travel story, because you know you can get away with it, and it will be OK," Wright said. He added with a nasty grin: "What I did to O'Neill [Richard Dean Anderson] was pretty harsh, too." Stargate: Continuum drops on DVD and Blu-Ray on July 29. --John Sullivan
