Jewel Staite Begins Blogging at Blastr

Jewel StaiteBlastr is the new name for Sci Fi Wire, and not only have they changed their name, but they’ve also changed their focus and tone. As part of their new direction, they’ve invited Stargate star Jewel Staite to be a guest blogger. She’s kicked off the occasion by answering ten questions directed to her from fans who have enjoyed her work in both Firefly and Stargate Atlantis.

In Jewel Staite talks about Firefly fights, her dream role and more, Staite greets her readers, “Hello and welcome to my very first blog for Blastr! I’m absolutely thrilled to be blogging on this site, and even more thrilled that my ramblings will not have to be reduced to 140 characters or less!” Her Twitter account did come in handy in defining her new method of keeping in touch with her fans, though, as she picked questions from among over 53,000 admiring “tweeps” to construct her first Blastr entry.

With the news that Staite’s SGA co-stars David Hewlett and Robert Picardo will be making appearances in SGU’s season two episode “Seizure” (which won’t be aired until 2011), Staite was asked if she’d be making an appearance on the show too. Her reply indicates that she’s open to the possibility—under certain conditions that alluded to her first SGA role as the Wraith Ellia: “That’s a great question. Did you hear that one, Syfy? Thoughts? I still have the same phone number, in case you were wondering how to reach me! Unless you want me in prosthetics, in which case, I’m super slammed. With, like, this blog. And stuff.”

Staite’s busy “stuff” includes her next personal appearance, which currently is set to be at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, from September 3 to 6. In the meantime, make sure to visit Blastr for her guest blog entries that are sure to be full of all kinds of “juicy” details!

Jewel Staite Visits "Warehouse 13" Tonight (July 13)

Here’s a quick reminder that Stargate star Jewel Staite can be seen in her guest starring role as Loretta in tonight’s (July 13’s) episode of Syfy’s Warehouse 13 at 9 PM ET.

Staite is reunited with her Firefly co-star Sean Maher in the episode “Mild Mannered.” Maher’s Sheldon has a thing for Loretta, but it’s unrequited. TV Guide further summarizes, “Myka and Pete are sent to Detroit after a seemingly invulnerable vigilante begins using extraordinary means to thwart criminals. Meanwhile, Artie, Leena and Claudia try to get past recent events while improving conditions at the warehouse.”

Will Sheldon finally see his love returned or will this all end in a Greek tragedy? Tune in tonight to find out.

Staite is currently filming the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas story Call Me Mrs. Miracle with screen legend Doris Roberts. Hopefully, this movie will be ready for this year’s holiday season. Staite’s recently-wrapped movie project, Syfy’s The Doomsday Scrolls with CSI: NY star A.J. Buckley, won’t premiere until 2011. According to Stargate Actor Appearances, her next convention appearance is scheduled to be at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia, from September 3-6, along with Maher and several of her Stargate co-stars.

New Projects for Staite, Hewlett

Stargate stars Jewel Staite and David Hewlett have been cast in new movie roles!

Jewel Staite – The latest from her official website’s RSS feed: “Jewel has just been cast in Hallmark Channel’s holiday movie Call Me Mrs. Miracle, starring alongside screen legend Doris Roberts! Shooting is slated to start next week!” The Hollywood Reporter describes the film: “It’s Christmas in New York City, and Mrs. Merkle (Roberts) is a saleswoman in a family-owned department store and works her magic on those around her.” Executive producers are Dan Wigutow, Michael M. Scott, and Debbie Macomber.

Additionally, it was just announced that Staite’s Warehouse 13 episode will air on Tuesday, July 13, on Syfy at 9 PM ET.

David Hewlett – He’s been tweeting about his new film that in its early part of principal photography this week: “Wow! Looks like I just got a nice little role in a HUGE movie…but I’m not allowed to say anything…following me sucks! ;-)” … “Wardrobe fitting today…it’s a little worrying how easy it is to make me look like an uptight prick!” … “Day one on my latest primate movie 😉 Currently holding the key to a great performance: coffee and the ubiquitous breakfast burrito!” … “Very tempted to call Flanigan, just to run him through what I’ve eaten today on set! ;-)” … “Day 2 on the big movie that shall not be named…causing chaos on the streets of vangroovey as only Hollywood can!”

We’re still waiting to hear officially what the film is, but in the meantime, some fans have already concluded that it’s Rise of the Apes, which began shooting in Vancouver July 5 (to correspond with Hewlett’s Day One) and is scheduled to wrap on September 17. We’ll be sure to report it when we have more details.

[Thanks to vida_boheme and wraithfodder for taking the time to investigate the Hewlett project.]
