SCI FI Channel has announced that it has given a green light to produce Stargate Universe, the third series in the long-running SciFi franchise, with production on the MGM Television Entertainment show set to begin in early 2009.

Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, co-creators of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, will serve as executive producers and writers on the new show. (Atlantis ends its five seasons next year but will continue in a two-hour telefilm.)

“SCI FI has enjoyed tremendous success with Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, and we’re proud to be the home of the new Stargate Universe,” Mark Stern, executive vice president, original programming for SCI FI, said in a statement. “Universe will continue the Stargate legacy of vibrant story lines and compelling adventures, but will re-invent the format in a whole new way.”

After unlocking the mystery of the Stargate’s ninth chevron, a team of explorers travels to an unmanned starship called the Destiny, launched by the Ancients at the height of their civilization as a grand experiment set in motion but never completed.

What starts as a simple reconnaissance turns into a never-ending mission as the Stargate Universe crew discovers that the ship is unable to return to Earth and that they must now fend for themselves aboard the Destiny.

The crew will travel to the far reaches of the universe, connecting with each of the previously launched Stargates, thus fulfilling the Destiny’s original mission.

Stargate Universe will debut as a two-hour movie event on SCI FI. Following its premiere, Universe will assume a regular hourly slot in the summer of 2009.

SCI FI Channel has announced that it has given a green light to a two-hour movie based on Stargate Atlantis.   The SCI FI channel will air the as-yet-untitled film as a world premiere before its release on DVD.

Announcement of the new film follows similar telefilms based on SCI FI’s Battlestar Galactica and two straight-to-DVD Stargate SG-1 movies, Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum.

The Atlantis movie will be written by executive producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, who also serve as the series’ show runners.

The movie is set to follow the fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis in January 2009.

“We’re excited to tell Atlantis stories on a bigger canvas,” said Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, co-creators of SG-1 and Atlantis, in a statement. “The successes of the two original Stargate [direct-to-video] movies The Ark of Truth and Continuum have shown us the opportunities that the movie format offers. We have plans for both SG-1 and Atlantis to remain vital as we expand the franchise.” Atlantis will air a milestone 100th episode in January 2009

I just hear today that the Sci-Fi channel is going to cancel StarGate Atlantis at the end of its 5th season.  Since the show is going to end with a cliffhanger they have green lit a 2 hour StarGate Atlantis made for TV movie.  So we have that to look forward too.

Fandemonium Press has announced the publication of a new Stargate Atlantis book called “Mirror Mirror,” it is the ninth Atlantis novel to be released by the publisher. The novel is written by Sabine C. Bauer, who previously wrote the Stargate SG-1 novels “Trial by Fire” and “Survival of the Fittest.”

The book can be ordered now from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

Fandemonium has released the following synopsis for “Mirror Mirror:”

When an Ancient prodigy gives the Atlantis expedition Charybdis — a device capable of eliminating the Wraith — it’s an offer they can’t refuse. But the experiment fails disastrously, threatening to unravel the fabric of the Pegasus Galaxy — and the entire universe beyond.

Doctor Weir’s team find themselves trapped and alone in very different versions of Atlantis, each fighting for their lives and their sanity in a galaxy falling apart at the seams. And as the terrible truth begins to sink in, they realize that they must undo the damage Charybdis has wrought while they still can.

Embarking on a desperate attempt to escape the maddening tangle of realities, each tries to return to their own Atlantis before it’s too late. But the one thing standing in their way is themselves
