What happened to the Ex List, the show that replaced Moonlight? Oh yeah it was canceled. It did a lot better and appealed to more woman than Moonlight did. Another great programming decision CBS.

SciFi Green Lights Stargate Atlantis Movie

By Editor on August 22nd, 2008 / 0 Comments

SCI FI Channel has given a green light to a two-hour movie based on its original series Stargate Atlantis. SCI FI will air the as-yet-untitled film as a world premiere before its release on DVD by MGM. 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.

SCI FI Channel has picked up Stargate Universe, the third series in the long-running franchise, says The Hollywood Reporter. News of Universe comes on the heels of SCI FI’s announcement that the current Stargate Atlantis will not receive a sixth-season order. Atlantis will live on in a two-hour telefilm to air on SCI FI in 2009. Universe will premiere as a two-hour movie early next year and will assume a regular hourly slot in the summer. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, co-creators of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, will serve as executive producers and writers on the new series. The new show will involve more space-based action than either of the predecessor series. Universe introduces a new team of explorers who find an ancient unmanned ship called the Destiny. Unable to return to Earth, the crew must fend for themselves aboard the ship, which has a pre-programmed mission taking them to the far reaches of the universe. Appearances by former cast members from SG-1 and Atlantis are very possible.

Sci Fi Channel and WWE announced that ECW will continue on the network through 2008. WWE is also the producer of the No. 1 weekly basic cable TV series, Monday Night Raw, on USA Network. This year, Sci Fi has been the No. 1 cable network for men ages 18-34 in ECW’s Tuesday 10 p.m. time period. Sci Fi is a television network where “what if” is what’s on. Sci Fi fuels the imagination of viewers with original series and events, blockbuster movies and classic science fiction and fantasy programming.

Fans of Stargate Atlantis who saw the June 1 episode “Sunday” witnessed the unexpected demise of Dr. Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion), a death that many fans had been anticipating for weeks beforehand with dismay. But producers told SCI FI Wire that fans may not have seen the last of the popular Scottish physician. “Essentially we write into the [stories] what we think works well,” executive producer Robert C. Cooper said in an interview on the show’s set in Vancouver, Canada, over the weekend. “On the other hand, we know what the fans enjoy, and we want to keep the fans happy. For example, we killed off [Beckett] at the end of season three. The fans were very vocal about his departure, and we understood that he meant a lot to them. We’re working on a storyline that may see him return temporarily. If it works out creatively - if what the fans like creatively and what we like creatively syncs up - that’s great.”

Beckett’s death shook up the show’s cast as well as the fans. “It’s kind of like life: You get blindsided by these things,” co-star David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) said in a separate interview. “It changes your day-to-day routine. That’s happened both as actors and as the characters as well. Not having Paul around. Paul and I, we made each other’s lives misery: We would tease each other the whole time, and we had great fun on set and off set. To not have him around feels like a huge loss. But that’s life. Things change, and people move on.”
