Calendar

Monday,   March 28 Stargate Universe on Syfy at 10 PM ET with “Hope.”

Showcase EndgameMichael Shanks guest stars tonight at 10 PM ET/PT in the episode “The Caffeine Hit” of Canada’s new Showcase show Endgame. One of Stargate‘s guest stars is part of the regular cast, Veena Sood, who’s played an Abydonian and Dr. Kelly in episodes of SG-1. The show centers around the Russian-born former World Chess Champion Arkady Balagan, who, after witnessing the assassination of his fiancée and her high school friend in Vancouver, has become agoraphobic. He doesn’t leave the hotel where he lives. Such a life has caused him to amass a debt, so as a way to earn money, he uses his brilliant mind to solve mysteries. He has friends and associates, many who manage or work in the hotel in which he lives, who help him in his investigations. In “The Caffeine Hit,” Shanks plays “a desperate amnesiac” for whom Balagan “begins to unravel the man’s complicated identity.” When Shanks told his official website (MSOL) about the role, he mentioned that his character Casey Roman “finds out he may have been a real asshole.” MSOL has images of Shanks in his role as Roman in their gallery, but beware of spoilers! The episode will repeat on Thursday and Sunday. Visit their official website for more details.

Tuesday,   March 29 Stargate Universe on SPACE at 10 PM ET with “Hope.”
Wednesday,   March 30
Thursday,   March 31 Stargate Universe on Australia’s SciFi at 8:30 PM ET with “Hope.”

Jason  Momoa as Conan

Jason Momoa will receive the 2011 CinemaCon Rising Star Award at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas tonight. CinemaCon managing director Mitch Neuhauser said, “Bringing with him an already loyal fanbase from Stargate: Atlantis, Jason Momoa is sure to entertain audiences in the action adventure Conan the Barbarian. We can’t wait to see what this new leading action star will do in the future.” Not only does Momoa have the starring role in Conan the Barbarian, but he also has a recurring role in HBO’s new Game of Thrones series that will be premiering April 17. You’ll find links of interest for Momoa’s projects here at Solutions on his homepage in our Actors…Beyond the Event Horizon feature.

Friday,     April 1 Lou Diamond PhillipsLou Diamond Phillips is the host of a new franchise on the Military Channel that premieres tonight: An Officer and a Movie. Per the Military Channel’s press release, each installment “pairs Phillips with retired and active duty officers who lived through major battles or have an expertise in the conflicts depicted in notable Hollywood films. As each film makes its Military Channel premiere, AN OFFICER AND A MOVIE provides expert commentary that can only come from being ‘on the ground’ during the action as these officers reflect on the themes of that night’s film and also provide personal insight that puts each movie into a modern context.” In tonight’s movie at 8 PM ET, Phillips and retired Marine Col. Arthur Athens “discuss the themes behind the 1979 classic film The Great Santini, starring Robert Duvall, who was nominated for an Academy Award for this role. As the director of the U.S. Naval Academy’s Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership, the former Commandant of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Athens is uniquely able to comment on what it means to be a leader in the military and within a family’s home, where in his own life he has ten children.” For more on the airing schedule, visit http://military.discovery.com/.
Saturday,   April 2
Sunday,    April 3 HBO Game of Thrones PosterHBO will be airing a preview of Game of Thrones tonight at 9 PM ET. If you miss it, it will be available afterwards online and on demand.

Michael Shanks's "Red Riding Hood" Opens Tonight (March 11)

Tonight (March 11), fans of Stargate star Michael Shanks can see him in Red Riding Hood as the new film opens in US theaters!

Directed by Twilight‘s Catherine Hardwicke, this movie is a “gothic retelling” of the classic tale. The new film isn’t a true representation of the tale, since “Little Red Riding Hood” is now a young woman, Valerie, who’s caught between the love of two young men, but at least, as Shanks put it in a red-carpet interview posted at USA Today, “There’s a grandmother!”

Shanks plays Adrien Lazar, the father of one of Valerie’s suitors, Henry, who is played by Max Irons (son of actor Jeremy Irons). A video interview of Irons and Shanks can be found at About.com.

MSOL has a gallery of images of Shanks and his daughter Tatiana (her mother is Vaitiare Bandera, Stargate SG-1‘s Sha’re, Daniel Jackson’s Abydonian wife) as they attended the Hollywood premiere on March 7.

Embedded below is the movie’s main trailer, but Shanks cannot be seen in it; you’ll have to wait to see him in the actual movie itself!

Destiny in INCURSION PART 2 (MGM/About.com)

  • Franchise – Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi updated his readers on the last tasks that he and others are doing to complete the final episode of SGU, “Gauntlet.” As is typical with most Stargate season finales, this episode ends on a cliffhanger. “It’s a spectacular yet poignant season ender,” Mallozzi wrote after watching the finale’s Day 1 Mix. “Hopefully, by the time its airs, we’ll have definite word on a potential movie or two. If it’s a go and fans can look forward to a proper end to Destiny’s mission, then Gauntlet will certainly set the stage for a grand conclusion. If, on the other hand, things don’t pan out and Gauntlet does turn out to be the bittersweet finale, fans will be thrilled, touched, heartbroken – and left to wonder what could have been.” Once the finale is “in the can,” what will become of the franchise? Mallozzi once again reassured his readers, “The sets are still standing as Brad and co. await word on possible movies. As for the writers/producers – some have moved on, some stand ready to start work on a continuation of the storyline should they receive the green light.”

Stargate Universe News

  • SGU Stargate
    Most of SGU's sets remain standing.
    Blogging executive producer Joseph Mallozzi has moved out of Bridge Studios to join Robert C. Cooper and Paul Mullie on a new project in Toronto. In the meantime, Brad Wright and Carl Binder are keeping the home fires burning for the Stargate franchise. Mallozzi hasn’t stopped reporting what he can about the state of the franchise, however. In one of his recent “mailbag” exchanges, Mallozzi addressed concerns about the status of SGU’s sets. “For now, I believe the plan is to strike the sets on Stage 6 (the cave and Homeworld Command which were doubtful to be used moving forward anyway). The standing sets (the Destiny corridors, observation deck, gate room over on Stage 4 and the bridge, shuttle, and mess over on Stage 5) will remain standing until we hear definite word that we will not be proceeding with production on any movie(s). And, sorry to say, no news to report on that front.” He also confirmed that there will be no set tours at the upcoming Vancouver Con (April 14-17). “I was actually there on Thursday when they were discussing it and the issue was one of costs for lighting up the sets. Even without full lighting, it would have been quite pricey.” On a closing encouraging note, he wrote, “The fact that the sets are still standing is a good sign. It costs money to keep them up/the stages rented, so, at the very least, this does demonstrate a desire to see the production move forward in some form.”

Michael Shanks Guest Stars in Lifetime Pilot "Normal"

Michael ShanksStargate star Michael Shanks has a guest starring role in Lifetime’s pilot Normal, according to his official website.

The information came from the actor himself when he dropped a quick note: “Working on a Lifetime channel pilot this week, as a guest star, Michael Sardo’s Normal starring Carrie Anne Moss.”

According to MSOL, the pilot began shooting in British Columbia on February 6 and will end February 21. Deadline has more information about the pilot’s premise:

The Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss has been tapped as the lead in Lifetime’s untitled Michael Sardo pilot. The project, from writer-executive producer Michael Sardo and Universal Cable Prods., centers on Ann Brown (Moss), New York’s premiere celebrity psychologist. With her life and marriage in shambles, she leaves town to join her sister, the Dean at a teaching hospital, to become the chief of staff of the hospital’s psych ward. There, she rediscovers her love for helping people while reconnecting with her sister, despite their volatile history. Gerard Bocaccio is executive producing the pilot with Sardo, while Timothy Busfield is set to direct.

MSOL promises more information as it becomes available, and Solutions will also keep a watch for further details.
