Stargate: Atlantis’ replacement starts shooting Feb ‘09
For all those Stargate fans out there which were shocked with the cancellation of the spin-off Atlantis there is new hope. The shows replacement Stargate Universe has an official shooting date listed of Feb 4th 2009 with plenty of time for the pilot and a few episodes to be filmed in time for a summer ‘09 television date on the US Sci-fi channel.
Filming will take place at the Bridge Studios in Vancouver just like all the prior Stargate shows. What is expensive and yet interesting is that the key sets for both Stargate SG1 and Atlantis will be kept in addition to the new sets which will be constructed for Universe. No casting information as yet but the cast is expected to be in place by Christmas. The interesting bit is the character synopsis has been leaked out from casting sources and so far it doesn’t look good. There are no original character ideas at all with all the characters sounding like Smallville rejects.

Stargate has turned into Power Rangers. Lets keep milking this thing until it has no value. Not saying the show ever did have any value to begin with.
