MGM’s Official Stargate website has put up a behind-the-scenes video with actor Michael Shanks as he returned to the Stargate sets to film the mid-season two-parter of Stargate Atlantis this past spring. The two episodes, “First Contact” and “The Lost Tribe”, were written by Martin Gero and directed by Andy Mikita (and Martin Gero, too, as he directed the second unit for several of the scenes between Shanks and David Hewlett).
Visit the website to watch the short video, in which Shanks said, “I certainly leave the door open to come back to Atlantis.” There is the possibility of Daniel’s return in the first Atlantis movie, according to writer Joseph Mallozzi in his weblog, when both the third SG-1 movie and the first Atlantis movie are being filmed at or around the same time next year.
