Stargate Atlantis
Stargate Atlantis
Stargate Atlantis is the spin-off series created by Robert C. Cooper and Brad Wright which follows the adventures of the Atlantis Expedition Team in the Pegasus Galaxy: Dr. Daniel Jackson discovered the destination of the Ancients who lived in the city-ship Atlantis on Earth millions of years ago. Dr. Elizabeth Weir led her expedition through the Stargate and was the leader of the Atlantis Outpost for about three years. Col. Samantha Carter became the new leader of the Atlantis Base following Dr. Weir's capture by the Asurans, the Pegasus Replicators, and served for one year. After the Asuran and Wraith threats were greatly reduced, Carter was recalled to Earth and was replaced by IOA representative Richard Woolsey.

Movies
Atlantis Movies - Although the script for the first SGA movie was written (Stargate: Extinction), MGM discontinued the Stargate franchise before the movie could be produced. The news of the end of the franchise was announced by creator Brad Wright at the Vancouver Stargate Con on April 17, 2011. Script co-writer Joe Mallozzi said, "For what it's worth, it involved a return mission to Pegasus, the tragic end of one relationship, the beginning of another, and a surprising progression in the alliance between one man and one wraith." |
