Destiny’s Gateroom under construction (image by Joseph Mallozzi)
Finally, creative consultant Joseph Mallozzi has been allowed to publish some of his pictures that he took of the set of Destiny for Stargate Universe while it was being constructed! He had described some his impressions while taking these pictures, but finally seeing the images brings his words to life! Make sure you visit his “Building the Gateroom” entry from July 14, 2009, for what is promised to be just the beginning of his photo journal.
Currently, the cast and crew are on a month-long filming hiatus, but some of them will be making an appearance at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Sitting on the Stargate Universe panel, which will be in Ballroom 20 at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 24, are Robert Carlyle, Brian J. Smith, Elyse Levesque, David Blue, Alaina Huffman, Jamil Walker Smith, and Ming-Na, alongside series co-creators Brad Wright and Robert Cooper.
Stargate Universe is scheduled for an October premiere on the Syfy Channel, which has first-run rights. Not long afterward, the show will be premiering on SPACE in Canada and Sky in the UK. It was announced in Syfy’s Australian affiliate’s blog, Sci Fi Pi, that SGU will premiere on October 9, but this has yet to be confirmed by Syfy.
