Stargate: Amanda Tapping Interview
HCC News Team - 20 August 2008 - 11:16am
Stargate: Continuum, a time-traveling spin-off from the hit TV series, recently touched down on DVD (£20) and Blu-ray (£29) in the UK courtesy of MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. To celebrate, we sat down with fan-favourite star Amanda Tapping, to talk about all things SG-1...
Do you remember where you saw the original Stargate film?
AT: "I saw it actually just before I auditioned for the series, I rented it. So I saw it at home, I didn’t go out and see it in a theatre."

How was it going from filming a standard episode to a feature?
AT: "In some ways it was kind of easier to wrap your head around, because when we were doing the series it was like ‘phew, it’s February, we’re going to be going at this full tilt until October,’ it’s daunting, it’s exhausting. So when you have this finite period of time to make this really big movie and take a month, it’s brilliant. It’s a great way to do it."

Have you noticed changes, in all your time on the show, in the audiences who have followed these adventures?
AT: "I’ve seen the demographic change, definitely, from when we first started. And [sci-fi convention] Comic Con has just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. It’s crazy, when we went last year there were the big buses, the Stargate buses. So there was a big bus for Continuum, a bus for Ark of Truth, an Atlantis bus – seeing your face on the the side of a bus you’re like ‘ohhhh’. You can’t take any of that seriously, but there is something really cool about it too."
