Mackenzie's Momma writes: "CSI:Atlantis is that just the working title or the actual title we will see when it airs?"

Answer: Sadly, it won't be the official title. Instead, we'll be going with American Idol: Atlantis.




RangerOne writes: "I have some questions about your (or any other TV Producer's) qualifications to make casting choices. Are there books on the subject or classes one can take to give a person the necessary skill to judge on what appears to be a very subjective talent or do you just go by your gut feeling in the casting sessions?"

Answer: Subjective? Back in the mid-90's, did you feel that Pauly Shore was robbed of the Best Actor Oscar when in went to Tom Hanks? If you didn't, then you, like most people, can make a pretty fair assessment of an individual's acting abilities. In addition to their skill as an actor, things like the way in which the actor chooses to play a character or the manner in which he delivers his dialogue can influence a casting decision. Janina Gavankar, for instance, won the role of Dusty in Whispers because her delivery of the dialogue was pretty much how I envisioned the character talking. She was, in my estimation, perfect for the role.

Answer: The great Will Waring.

The Making of Continuum (Pt 2)

June 5, 2008 (General)

Continuing on from his introduction to writing Stargate Continuum, Brad Wright takes readers behind the scenes with some more hints about the spectacular Stargate SG-1 movie!

A brief excerpt:

Besides shooting in the Arctic, producing Continuum as a feature film provided some other fantastic opportunities, particularly in the area of production design.

"There were things that we could do in Continuum that we simply couldn't afford to do in the television series. We actually built the bridge and several decks of a 1939 cargo ship, and it looks pretty damn good on the screen," Wright exclaims. "Rather than just doing a cargo hold, we did a gimballed cargo hold, and rather than just saying it's cold, we refrigerated the set. I had originally thought that we could maybe find an old ship in the harbour that we could shoot the deck scenes in, and we would have to just build the bridge. But marine technology has gone so far that there just aren't any ships around that have [that style] -wooden decks, wireless and portholes. Even the slightly newer ships have technology that would have had to have been swapped out, and it would have cost almost as much to refit an existing ship with 1939 level technology as it would to build one on the stage. It would have cost a fortune to shoot it on location and it might have even been dangerous. So, since we knew we had to build the cargo hold anyway, we decided to build the front of the ship, which was costly but it gave us a lot of fun."
