SciFiNow recently spoke with Rachel Luttrell, who played Teyla Emmagan on Stargate Atlantis, about the series and the upcoming direct-to-DVD release Stargate Extinction. While she was unable to definitively confirm anything regarding the production, she did share her suspicions about when the cast and crew may reunite to shoot the feature.
“There’s a rumour that it’ll start shooting in November,” said Luttrell in a telephone interview on Friday evening. “That once [Stargate] Universe is done with its season production then we’ll move into it, but none of that has been confirmed.” Production on the series is still in the embryonic stages however, with none of the cast aware of the plot yet or basic details. “You know what, I wish I could [tell you about Extinction], in fact it’s sad to say but you’ve actually revealed the title to me before I knew it,” the actress admitted. “We know nothing about it, and by we, I mean my fellow actors and I. We haven’t had an opportunity to read anything or to talk with our writers about it yet.”
Stargate Atlantis stars Rachel Luttrell, Joe Flanigan, Robert Picardo, Jason Momoa and David Hewlett. The series ended its run earlier this year with the conclusion of its fifth season, making way for a new series named Stargate Universe. The final season is released onto DVD on 8 September 2009, priced at £59.99.
You forgot to mention Jewel Staite who is also one of the main cast!
She is, but for the sake of expediency and not having a cast list a paragraph long, I left her off.
But she’s one of the title credit characters, not just a regular guest! She’s as much a part of the primary cast as any of the others you mentioned
She really deserves to be there 
She was only a main cast for 1 year or 1 1/2 years..all the others mentioned have been in it for 4 or 5 years. To me she was never really a full part of the cast and replaced Paul.
Actually, after re-reading it RP was only a main cast for 1 year and I think Torri should be been mentioned before him. However, that’s neither here nor there as they say. The show was pushed aside for a different show and that is a shame.
I’m actually glad he forgot to metion her. LOL
I’m staggered that there are five comments about this.
Looking forward to the Atlantis movie, and anything about the Atlantis cast in general (especially Joe Flanigan).
I’m a fan of Stargate Alantis only, not a fan of the Stargate franchise in general. I kept watching Atlantis faithfully for 5 years because of Joe Flanigan first and foremost, and I loved the chemistry between Joe, Jason, Rachel, David, Torri, Paul (McGuillion) and Robert (Picardo). Those 7 actors together in all the 5 seasons would’ve been the perfect cast for me.
I won’t be watching the new show SGU. Nothing I heard so far sounds appealing to me. Not interested.
You’re surprised Mr Rundle? To be honest, I thought there would have been more! Keeping on topic though, can’t say ill be watching the new ones either.
Surprised? No, rather disappointed at the nitpicking perhaps.
You’re not looking forward to Universe? How come?
I really hope they get the mix of personalities right for SGU. None of the new actors make much of an impression on me thus far based upon the preview. SG-1 was great, and I really ended up liking Atlantis as well. It was a bit of a bummer that the show ended so early.
In the end, what has made the Stargate series so good is that you have a group of characters who became loyal friends through thick and thin.
Don’t screw that concept up.
I am looking forward to the Stargate Extinction movie. I miss the old characters.
You’d need another McKay and Ronan type; it was the same with Teal’c and O’niell. They really need a duo of highly acceptable comedy cast, I know this would be hard to bear with people but I didn’t really like a lot of the teams. The characters carter and Daniel just kept repeating the same things over and over with Daniel being a pain in the ass with the I’m not dead thing and carter being over technical with nearly no other jokes than the episodes with clones or duplicates; Sheppard on the other hand was overly heroic and somewhat dull with the combat while Taela was nothing but an over worried mother.
David Hewlett just twittered that it looks the movie will not be made. Anyone heard more on that?
I really think they should have carried on the seasons of Atlantis while still doing Stargate Universe like what they did for 3 years with SG-1 and Atlantis and maybe have a few crossovers but this Atlantis movie still looks cool. I’m gonna watch Universe but I’m not getting my hopes up. I don’t want to see this but what I think I’m seeing is them trying to milk a perfectly good franchise. I hope I’m wrong.
I think that stargate Universe is amazing. For the people that compare it to the likes of voyager its nothing like it. Surely if thats the case voyager is just a rip off from lost in space ect..?? I love the fact they can’t stop and have limited time on planets. I hope this series keeps going. Also can’t wait for Atlantis movie because i actually liked that better than sg1. Sg1 is still fantastic tho!
Hi,
My name is Joe Foxworthy and I absolutly love the stargate saga!!!
I have watched every single episode of SG1, Atlantis and Universe thou i was a little dissapointed with the atlantis ending……. It was a little indisisive….. But its great news to hear about the up and coming movie!!!!!
Maybe it’ll give us a little bit of closure for Atlantis… HOPEFULLY..
When is extingtion gonna be realised????
Also is Universe gonna introduce an enemy (Go’auld, Ori, Wraith etc….) As its good watching the crew find their feet on Destiny but theres only so far you can go with that.
Please could you give me some answers either on this wall or to my email.
Thanks
i love all SG series atlantis,sg1,sort of getting to universe like joe ive seen every episode of SG1, alantis did not think much of the cartoon and i do hope they run into some kind of enemy as atlanteans weapons r cool id like to see destiny(universe) in a battle ummmm just writng crap ps just like to say JEWEL STAITE IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT lol
were’s Carson?
I was bitten late by the SG1 / SGa series – got into SG1 on DVD. It didn’t take me long to start watching 2 episodes each time I turned on the TV.
The progression of SG1 to SGA was great and it had me hanging out for more.
Now that I have seen the last episode of SGA I feel like I have been cheated. It is like showing a piece of candy to a baby and when they reach out to get it, you take it away.
I am quite sure that the producers of the series really do not know how popular the series really is. I know they go by ratings and DVD sales, but do they really know how many fans they have.
I did not watch it on TV – A relative loaned me the 1st season SG1 and I was hooked. Two of my family also became hooked and they have been telling everyone about it too.
Come on producers – You may have impressive ratings and DVD sales, but you really have no idea on how many people are fans.
You introduced the fact that SG1 was happening while SGA was on screen – Bring back a NEW series that has both in it.
OK – Some facts to support my previous claim.
I made a point of doing a mini survey with 20 people of mixed ages and mixed careers. The results are as follows.
Someone other than the person being asked had people in their house who regularly watched SG1 or SGA – 6 out of 20
People asked who watched and enjoyed SG1 or SGA because it was the program on the station they were watching – 4 out of 20
People who regularly watched and looked forward to SG1 or SGA – 5 out of 20
People who knew of the programs and chose not to watch them – 3 out of 20
people who did not know what SG1 or SGA were – 2 out of 20
By my mini survey calculations:
Avid fans watching most episodes – More than 50% of the homes in Australia
Homes who had the TV tuned into SG1 or SGA on a casual or regular basis – Around 75% of the people asked.
I did not lead anyone on in this survey. The people asked were my clients and their staff.
Sad that the producers can not see that they had an epic.
Wake up guys…. Find a way to make it more profitable if that was your reason for cancelling.
scrap keller carson deserves a role in the movie
