According to a report on the SG-1 Facebook page, Darren Thomas, an independent producer, announced April 29 during the Stargate Convention in Vancouver that MGM is “reviving SG-1 albeit in a new format.” According to the site, he added that “plans are underway and I wish I could tell you more. The good news is that we will be unveiling something big at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego.” Gateworld reports that a press release from MGM and Ordino Studios, an application and game production studio in Europe, is expected to announce a new SG-1 project as early as San Diego Comic-Con in July, which is leading many to believe that SG-1 would find a new life in digital form as a game. SG-1 actor Michael Shanks, who played Dr. Daniel Jackson, Tweeted: ” judging from the info i have read today, my ‘GUESS’ is: its most likely an interactive game of some sort. I am NOT involved at this point….” As we all wait eagerly for the next incarnation of the Stargate saga, don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of the franchise – VIP Fan Auctions is currently offering props, wardrobe and production materials – including a  segment of an actual Stargate used on-screen in SGU.

Michael shank’s stars in NBCUniversal’s new series Saving Hope beginning June 7th (10/9c).

NBCUniversal released this description of the series. “In “Saving Hope,” when charismatic Chief of Surgery Charlie Harris (Shanks) at Hope-Zion Hospital ends up in a coma, he leaves the hospital in chaos – and his fiancé and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid (Durance), in a state of shock. Along with newly arrived star surgeon, Joel Goran (Gillies), Reid races to save Harris’ life. As the action unfolds, the comatose Harris explores the hospital halls in “spirit” form, not sure if he’s a ghost or a figment of his own imagination. Reid, along with her fellow doctors, press on to save his life and those of their other patients as they deal with the complicated and courageous decisions that are made in their daily struggle to keep hope alive.”

“The Goa’uld take great pleasure in discharging the weapon only once on a subject. Causing great pain, disabling them, but not killing them. The second shot will kill most subjects.”

–Teal’c describing the Zat’nik’tel (ZAT gun)

“Keep it simple and always try to make it look cool!” Those words are the mantra of Stargate prop master Kenny Gibbs, who told  VIP Fan Auctions in an exclusive interview that his favorite props to create are the weapons. “What can I say, I’m a guy,” he says. But what is the prop he would most like to own from his years working on the Stargate franchise? “Probably a serpent head and staff weapon from the original series, SG-1,” he says. “Classics.” For fans who share his enthusiasm for cool weaponry, VIP Fan Auctions is currently offering a production-used Zat’nik’tel – a ZAT gun – from SG-1. While it’s not as powerful as a staff weapon, this Goa’uld-designed blaster features the trademark serpentine look – and is always poised to strike.
