Uh, I didn't want to post any more on this, honest, but then I came across this followup article, and the last sentence made me laugh and laugh.

Mallozzi and co executive producer Paul Mullie will write the movie, Sci Fi and MGM said. Mallozzi also said he expected the entire Atlantis cast to be in the movie, plus “a certain gaunt and pallid flowing-locked guest star,” apparently referring to former cast member Amanda Tapping.

(The rest is just sciffi president Howe rambling on about fans being content with getting their "next fix of the Stargate franchise". Ah well.)

Ahem, sosorry... I'll get back to posting fanart ASAP.
(minor casting spoiler for the sga movie... does that count as casting spoiler? Do I need a cut for that?)

You know, I was going to give SGU the benefit of the doubt, I really was. After all, our response to the cancellation of SGA must pretty much be identical to that of the SG-1 fans, when their show was canceled in favor of SGA and look how utterly wonderful SGA turned out to be. But SGA ran concurrent with SG-1 for three years. And Atlantis was ground breaking compared to a SciFi show set on a space ship, lost in deep space, attacked by your random alien!

And then to add insult to injury and call the current fanbase "slightly too old" for the Stargate franchise - I have no words for that. Way to alienate your fanbase, Howe.
