MGM Studios, which funds a significant portion of the production of Stargate Universe, may not be able to successfully sell itself to a new set of investors. It may instead be forced into bankruptcy reorganization and debt restructuring. As stated in The Hollywood Reporter, MGM is $3.7 billion in debt.

With MGM debt recently trading at 60 cents on the dollar, that would mean the studio would have to sell for more than $2.2 billion to fully pay off lenders. But almost nobody sees the Lion fetching that sort of money…

If a top bid for MGM fails to find enough support among its more than 140 lenders, the only other option would be a debt restructuring. That probably would include a prepackaged bankruptcy reorganization by which lenders would morph into owners and present owners would see their stakes heavily diluted.

According to Stargate Universe executive producer Joseph Mallozzi on his weblog, filming for Season Two will begin with the fourth episode “Pathogen” “a week from Wednesday” (March 10 2010).

“Pathogen” is written by Carl Binder and will be directed by a “special guest director.” I wonder who the special guest director is?????

Casting for this episode has most likely already started, since we’ve seen the audition sides for Ginn and Simeon, which have been recently released. At least one of these characters will have a multi-episode arc at the start of season two.

The second half of Season One has yet to air, so it’s difficult to talk about returning cast members without going into spoiler territory. Suffice it to say, there is a high probability that we’ll be seeing all of the members of the main cast return to the Vancouver sets for filming.

[SIMEON] (GUEST LEAD) – 35-45.. Simeon is a dangerous Lucian Alliance soldier. He was a seasoned criminal before being recruited by the Alliance. He’s strong and intimidating but more crafty and wiry than big and muscular. Scary in that you’re never sure what he will do. He also holds secrets that are desperately sought after by Earth and those on board Destiny — secrets he would die or worse, kill to protect. He’s an antagonist for several episodes before he finally comes into serious conflict with Robert Carlyle’s character Rush and they are forced to face off. RECURRING. This role will work 6-7 episodes (Please submit all ethnicities)
