Scheduling snafus abound as the season draws to a close between this issue and that issue and pulling up and pushing back. We all sat in John Smith’s office this afternoon (John Smith, John Lenic, Paul, Carl, Alan, Martin Wood, Andy Mikita, and myself) and went over the seemingly endless scenarios - shifting, switching, scrambling - until we finally arrived at a tenuous house-of-cards solution that could very well fall apart anytime between now and the last day of shooting. I’m exhausted. The weekend couldn’t have rolled in on a better day (Fridays have always worked best for me).

No mailbag today but plenty o’ pics: lotsa o‘ Lulu settling in.

Hewlett: Due date a family affair

Thursday - September 6, 2007 | by David Read

David Hewlett ("Dr. Rodney McKay") tells GateWorld September 18th is the DVD release of his directorial debut "A Dog's Breakfast", Season Three of Atlantis [on DVD] -- and his first child!

"It's coming out the week the baby's due," he says of his movie. "I hope both releases go well. Mars [his dog] is already looking nervous." And the baby's gender? "Not a clue. We're strangely old-fashioned that way. Everything else we're as hi-tech as we can go, but we don't want to know until we know."

Thursday, September 6, 2007

Alas, no owl sightings today but I did spot a colorful-looking teamster hanging around the lunch tent. Sadly, however, there was no one around to offer up wildlife commentary. Still it would‘ve been hard to beat David Hewlett‘s reaction upon spotting the owl yesterday. “My invitation to Hogwarts!”he piped up. “It’s finally arrived!”

Today, main unit was in the FX Stage, shooting the Harmony tease. And while they were shooting, I was in the office reading Paul’s pass on Outcast (offering up a more vulnerable side of Sheppard), watching a day #1 mix of Quarantine (a lot of terrific little character moments), eating pizza (Yes! Pizza!) for lunch, and composing a response to one of the many email scammers I‘ve taken to baiting of late.

**snippage**

Today’s blog is dedicated to whoever is celebrating a birthday/got sick or injured/recovered from getting sick or injured, or is related to someone who made a request to have a blog dedicated to themselves or someone they know either today, yesterday, or tomorrow.

Today’s pics: More from the Harmony forest shoot (cue atmosphere, Genii, Eli takes a break).

Today’s video: see nature get a helping hand (David Hewlett).

Screen cap from the video clip.

Hey, since I’m around, allow me to field some questions -

Morjana writes: “ I noticed in the background what appeared to be plywood laid down on the forest floor. 1. Was that plywood? 2. If so, was it there for the cameras to roll on, to facilitate the the smooth movement of the camera dolly wheels?”

Answer: The plywood was laid down for both the equipment and the crew because it had rained the day before and the ground was extremely muddy.



Alipeeps writes: “So, does Joe F take a guitar with him everywhere these days?!”

Answer: Pretty much. Yup.



Flying Fig writes: “Since you had Jerry from EXTRA! on the set as a Genii, does this mean that the infotainment show is going to feature a segment on SGA? If so, did he hint when?”

Answer: Yes, Extra’s feature on Stargate Atlantis will air a couple of days before the premiere. I’ll let you know when I have a date.


**snippage**

Atlantisfannew1 a ecrit: “Attention!! révélation du projet secret!!”

Response: C’est magnifique! Merci!



Anonymous #1 writes: “1.Will Teyla get a love interest,well maybe not a love interest as such but maybe someone taking an interest. 2.Will there be lots of Teyla Whump in S4.”

Answer: Yes on both counts.

Stargate Atlantis - Joseph Mallozzi's Blog Update Sept. 5 - NEW video clip & Photos

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

A late blog entry today as I was on location at Green Timbers for day #4 of Harmony. A very exciting outing today highlighted by an owl sighting that effectively shut down production. We were in the midst of setting up the next shot when somebody shouted: “Hey! It’s an owl!” And the next thing I knew, everyone had cleared out. I caught up with the crew beneath the large tree they had gathered around to gaze up at the magnificent bird. “Ooooh,”marveled one of the women from make-up. “Beautiful,”remarked an A.D. “I think I can hit it from here,”muttered a hopeful David Hewlett.

Eventually, the owl flew off and the disappointed crew grudgingly returned to work. Good thing too as we had a lot to get through today: six forest scenes which including a couple of crane shots for the “And why would they want to kill her?” sequence (I swear, that’s what it says on the call sheet) and some EXT. NIGHT. I’m pleased to report all went well and that, unlike yesterday, none of our actors came into contact with any poison oak. Yep, it was smooooth sailing…until around 7:30 p.m. when someone shouted “The owl’s back!” and everyone dropped what they were doing to go see.

We had kicked the long day off with Martin Wood presiding over the splinter unit filming of the Trio tease. Jewel and Amanda made an early appearance and were wrapped around noonish. Hopefully, they went home to get a good night’s sleep in preparation for tomorrow afternoon’s big “harness test”. I’ll be sure to have my camera handy for that.

Mailbag (only covering the questions I was able to save and bring with me before leaving the house this morning):

Steph writes: “…in Trinity, when Ronon shoots his Commander, Teyla says that they will not speak of it again. Will it ever be resolved?”

Answer: It was resolved. Ronon killed him.


PG15 writes: “1) Can we expect some major Emotional Shep Whump (ESW) in Outcast? 2) In fact, would you say that season four has more Shep whumping than the other seasons? 3) Would you call the 3 episodes of “The Kindred” and “The Last Man” a 3-parter? If so, would it be connected as a mid-season 3-parter? 4) After confirming that Carson will be back for 2 episodes in May, has that number changed in the 2 months following that?”

Answers: 1) There will be definitely be some emotional shep whump in Outcast. 2) Yes. 3) I wouldn’t call it a 3-parter, However, they are definitely connected. 4) No.

David Hewlett 101



So, coming up on Canadian Spotlight, we'll have David Hewlett talking about his new movie, A Dog's Breakfast.

Here's the story of why I wanted 'A Dog's Breakfast' on Canadian Spotlight. David Hewlett wrote, directed and starred in the movie. He also funded it. Wikipedia says he spent about a hundred grand, which isn't much for a movie. He borrowed equipment, borrowed friends, and used what he had available. And then… he sold it to MGM! His first movie! Now, if I made a movie, I'd go bankrupt. David sold his to MGM. Even though David isn't a poor man (it looks like he's been working pretty steadily and is now the lead on a TV show… but it's not 'Friends' or something so I doubt he's raking in twenty million a season) I still think it's a pretty cool success story.

So, if you don't know who David Hewlett is, don't worry! I've done some research for you! I'm the kind of person who, if I'm going to interview someone, wants to know the answers before I even ask the questions. I want to have at least an idea of where the interview is going to go. So, I scoured the internet, and this is what I came up with:

**snippage**

Now that you've been educated on David Hewlett and the 'A Dog's Breakfast' story, I hope you'll listen to Canadian Spotlight next week. Tuesday at eight. You can listen live on our website at www.sunny94.com if you're not in the listening area, or you can log on here on Wednesday.

Well, even though I was back at the office today in body, in spirit I was with Will Waring and co. over at Green Timbers where they were shooting day #4 of Harmony. I hope my spirit brought an umbrella because it was downright miserable this morning.

Not so miserable at the production offices though. The first draft of The Last Man is out and it’s fantastic. Paul is now doing is pass on Outcast. Carl was at post all day, cutting Quarantine. And Marty G. is preparing for his last day of prep on Trio before catching a flight to T.O. for the Toronto International Film Festival Premiere of his movie YPF. I did an interview with SciFi’s Kathy Huddleston, checked out the test on the tilting set, talked to Joel Goldsmith regarding the end of this Mortal Coil (Oh yeah, watched a Day One Mix of This Mortal Coil), and generally lolly-gagged, dilly-dallied, shilly-shallied, dawdled, frittered, and toddled. No, strike that. There was no toddling. Tomorrow, I’m heading to Green Timbers for Harmony day #5: the other night shoot!

The subtext is so clear and we fans aren't stupid. Just make it official already.”

2007 Fall Preview: New Sci-Fi / Fantasy Series

Fall TV Preview Part 1: The New Shows

The Fall 2007 premieres are fast approaching – in fact, the first sci-fi show of the new season, Torchwood, debuts this Saturday on BBC America (more on that show to come). The rest of the new shows premiere later in the month and are a real mixed bag: some look fresh and interesting, while a few bear the marks of an ill-omened
gestation and painful delivery.

In my overview of the season's new shows I sort out which of the freshmen sci-fi and fantasy shows look promising, including Pushing Daisies; some are real question marks, including NBC's heavily hyped Bionic Woman revamp. Wherever possible I'll give fuller reviews closer to the premiere dates, starting with Torchwood later this
week. Two shows originally slated for the Fall season, The Sarah Connor Chronicles (yes, that Sarah Connor) and the much-anticipated New Amsterdam, have been pushed back to midseason, so I'll talk about them then.

Part two of my Fall preview will detail what we can expect from returning shows this season, including Heroes, Smallville, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, and more, so stay tuned.
