Robert C. Cooper and Brad Wright have finished filming their two direct-to-DVD movies, Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum, both currently in post-production and set for a fall release. Recent news from both producers and actors Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping seem to point to more movies on the way, with an official announcement coming soon:

SG-1 ran for 10 successful seasons. We’ve ended that run on SCI FI, and now we’re continuing the story with those characters. Our DVD packages sell so well that, if the movies sell as well as the series sells, it’s going to be a tremendous success. And MGM [which produces the series] will eagerly want more.

I think the movies are at least going to have that hungry, receptive audience, and if they do very well, [then] there’s absolutely nothing wrong with continuing the franchise by doing a couple of movies a year.

There is already talk of [doing] some more of these SG-1 movies, so keep your [fingers] crossed….

TVG: Michael Shanks has said that it sounds like there will be more SG-1 movies. Are you hearing that too?
AT: Yeah, we’re hearing that. I think there will be an announcement soon, but it certainly looks that way. I think the formula is pretty successful, and our DVD sales — especially in Europe — do well. [It] makes sense to do them.
