Hewlett, Momoa, and Luttrell Appear at Con

Today, David Hewlett, Rachel Luttrell, and Jason Momoa appeared at the Creation Stargate Contention in Burbank, California. All were in great spirits and entertained the audience into fits of laughter, especially for the 45 minutes when they were on stage together. A complete con report will follow, but here are a few hot news items:.

• Jason looks very good after his injuries, with only very thin red marks visible on the left side of his face. Most of the damage from the glass was around his eye, which he kept covered with sun glasses to protect it from light. He said he’s very grateful he didn’t lose his eye or his sight. Although he can’t see well from it right now, it will heal. He also said his tear ducts are “messed up”, requiring him to dab at his eye with a tissue. Still he was in very good spirits. He noted that chicks like scars. He did mention the guy who attacked him is in jail.

• Rachel Luttrell said no one on the cast has been officially contacted about the Stargate Atlantis movie, and it’s only through the grapevine that they’ve heard it might be filmed next June. So, they are not at the point of negotiating contracts. Both Rachel and David seemed disappointed there was nothing definite yet.
• David is busy writing, and now thinking of bringing his Starcrossed behind-the-scenes sci fi comedy concept to a film in some form, rather than as a Sci Fi Channel series. He didn’t clarify what had happened to the previous plans, in which Starcrossed had been green-lit as a series by Sci Fi. However he said the Sanctuary model has inspired him and others to seek alternate ways to funding and production

That’s the actual production news I can recall. Full report and photos to follow in the next few days!
