Stargate Command

The Fate of the Human Race Hangs in Your Closet

You know, we have never worked so hard to bring y'all a shirt before. First, we gotta get an audience with our Senator ("Hey - can we talk to you about this Top Secret project that nobody knows about?"), then we gotta go before the Joint Chiefs and explain why it is that we need access the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. After the extensive background checks and possibly some wiretapping (how do they know we like bananas on our pizza???), we get stuck on a Space-A flight out to Colorado, escorted to the facility itself by several well-armed airmen who probably have better things to do than babysit ThinkGeek Merchant Monkeys. We make it through multiple checkpoints, into the tunnel, and to the final cardswipe before we see our target. It's right off the visitors' waiting room, wedged between the barber shop and the Class 6. The store that has the official Stargate Command Insignia merchandise. We present to you... the t-shirt.

Insignia of Stargate Command printed in black on a grey, 90% cotton, 10% polyester t-shirt (which the Unas call an "asek").

Price: $16.99 - $18.99

The X-Files - SciFi Weekly: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson Interview

THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE: DAVID DUCHOVNY, GILLIAN ANDERSON

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reunite after six years apart to continue their quest for the truth


By Patrick Lee


It's been six years since audiences last saw The X-Files on television, and 10 since the last movie. But the creators of the upcoming sequel film The X-Files: I Want to Believe hope that audiences still want to believe that a story about rogue FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is worth seeing.

Series creator and the sequel's director, Chris Carter, and his producing and writing partner Frank Spotnitz won't talk much about the film's top-secret storyline.

But this much is known. The movie reunites Mulder and Scully to investigate a mystery that only they can solve. The movie does not deal with the series' convoluted alien/conspiracy mythology, as did the first movie, but rather stands alone and is designed to be really scary. Duchovny and Anderson are back, joined by co-stars Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet and Xzibit, among others.

Duchovny and Anderson spoke with reporters earlier this month about the sequel, which opens July 25.


A brief excerpt:

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, can you talk a little bit about what it's like to be back in these characters after six years?

Duchovny: OK. Well, I had two weeks before Christmas [2007] of basically running around and chasing [co-star] Callum Rennie, who plays the ... running bad guy that I chase all over the place. And that took, like, a good full two weeks of running, even though I know it's only about 10 seconds of the movie. And then Gillian and I started working after Christmas break, and the first two weeks I ... felt a little awkward. I didn't really feel like I wanted to do longer scenes. I was just fine with running around. And then, as soon as Gilly and I started working, and it was Mulder and Scully, then I kind of remembered what it was all about. And, you know, that relationship kind of anchored my performance, just as I think the relationship anchors this film.

Anderson: I had a similar experience. ... I didn't have all the running around that David had to do, but I did have my own unfortunate [experience in the] beginning, which was to start with one of the most difficult scenes for Scully in the film. ... It's later on in the script, and she goes through a range of emotions in confronting Billy Connolly's character. ... I had a really hard time with those first couple of days with that scene. ... I just had a really hard time just finding her, finding her voice. I think I must have gone through 10 other characters in the process of trying to get to her [back], when I assumed that on the first day I'd be able to show up, and it would just be there. And it wasn't, I think, until day three, when we got to work together in ... the environment of each other and the relationship ... that it kind of felt natural and ... familiar and that I felt like I'd landed for the first time.

Battlestar Finale Will Answer All

Jamie Bamber, who plays Lee "Apollo" Adama in SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming final 10 episodes will wrap up all the outstanding questions and mysteries. Everything.

"Yeah, yeah, everything," Bamber said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., over the weekend. "I can't really think of a really loose thread. ... Not off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a couple, but I can't think of one."

The final new episodes of the fourth and final season kick off early next year and will pick up the story (spoiler ahead!) from the shocking midseason finale, when the survivors of the ragtag fleet arrived on a burnt-out Earth.

Sanctuary Bridges Real, Fantasy

Damian Kindler, creator and executive producer of SCI FI Channel's upcoming supernatural series Sanctuary, told SCI FI Wire that he strove to make something that bridged the real and fantastical, with a graphic-novel style that hasn't been seen before.

"I felt there was definitely room for something that bridged the gap between very real ... drama shows on the edge, like The X-Files--which took drama to a new place and said, 'Oh, we can make dramas compelling and character-based, but with a very strange tone to them'--and ... the all-out fantasy stuff, like Heroes," Kindler said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly
Hills, Calif., over the weekend.

Kindler, a former writer on Stargate SG-1, added: "I feel like Sanctuary has the ability to be like a really cool graphic novel you've never seen yet. ... It's got [a] graphic-novel feel and look and tone and attitude and visuals, but you've never seen it before. It's not like, 'Oh, they did a crap job at adapting it.' It's not
adapted from anything."

...Sanctuary, which is also executive-produced by [Amanda] Tapping, Martin Wood and Sam Egan, is shooting 13 episodes; it debuts on SCI FI in the fall.

Setting up the first shot

July 22, 2008: Remnants Day #1

Martin Gero was stumped. The Art Department needed a name for the venue in Brain Storm. You know, the one where Tunney gives his big speech and demonstration. “So what do I call it?” he asked the room.

Before anyone else could even consider the possibilities, Paul already had the answer: “The Carl Binder Memorial Theatre”. Brilliant! Word went out to the Art Department and, three hours later, the plans for the Carl Binder Memorial Theatre were distributed.



...I headed back down to the FX Stage where Will Waring and the gang were shooting Day One of Remnants. Will had phoned me up last night to inquire about Dr. Conrad’s patch. “She has a slight accent,” he said. “I think it’s either Australian or New Zealand.”



Aussie fans take note.

Great! Val had both patches at the ready this morning and, after checking with guest star Anna Galvin (whose name will ring a bell with many SG-1 fans), Aussie won out over Newzie (incidentally, Fondy tried to convince me that people from New Zealand are referred to as Kiwi’s, not Newzies, but I knew she was pulling my leg).

Stargate: Continuum - GateWorld: Video Interview: Martin Wood

From GateWorld:



MAN OF VISION

GateWorld talks with Martin Wood

Martin Wood has been involved with Stargate since the very first season of SG-1 and has directed nearly a quarter of the franchise. GateWorld has considered itself long overdue for an in-depth discussion with this influential producer. We spoke with him at the Stage 3 Media offices earlier this year.

In Part One of our video interview, GateWorld talks with Wood about the excitement he had filming the for the direct-to-DVD feature, Stargate Continuum, dodging submarines in the arctic, and bringing all his learned lessons to bare for Sanctuary.

GateWorld's interview with Martin runs 24 minutes. The video requires QuickTime 7.0 or higher. The interview is also available at GateWorld Play! Rather not view the video? It's also transcribed [at the link above]!


A brief excerpt (on filming Continuum in the Arctic):

GW: Oh, so weather halted production?

MW: It did on one day. We woke up one morning and I looked outside and thought "This is not going to be good." We're in little 8 by 8 by 20 foot plywood hooches, they're called. Little plywood 8 by 8 by 20. And there was me, Ben Browder, Richard Dean Anderson, the captain of the base, and another guy called George, who was a government worker who was not allowed to tell us what he did. We spent the entire time in the hooch trying to find out what George did.

You can't have Richard Dean Anderson and Ben Browder -- we laughed all night long. Inside it's plus 75, and outside, as soon as you open the door, it drops the temperature down to minus 50. I looked outside the little window we have, the polar bear window, and thought "We're not going out in this." We have a helicopter and we have snowmobiles. We can take either one of them to get where we need to be, which doesn't make a lot of sense because you're on an ocean that's frozen. It's all the same. "Hmm, should we shoot over here or should we shoot over there? Uh, let's see, uh, Peter?"
