Cooper discussed the two direct-to-DVD movies scheduled to be released in 2008. Cooper addressed how he closed off some of the loose ends left after the conclusion of the record-breaking ten seasons of the TV show, <em>Stargate SG-1<\/em>, in his movie, <a href=\"\/wiki\/Stargate:_The_Ark_of_Truth\"><em>Stargate: The Ark of Truth<\/em><\/a>, scheduled to be released March 11, 2008, in North America, and how Brad Wright&#8217;s <a href=\"\/wiki\/Stargate:_Continuum\"><em>Stargate: Continuum<\/em><\/a>, tentatively scheduled to be released in July 2008, is &#8220;a good old-fashioned &#8216;SG-1&#8217; stand-alone story.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Along with covering the differences between shooting these two films versus the television series, including having a larger budget and using film instead of high definition, Cooper discussed how the movies are structured differently than the episodes. &#8220;On the show, we had a five-act structure, and we designed the stories around commercial breaks. As such, on average you really ended up with about a seven- or eight-minute climactic sequence in each episode. The DTVs are more structurally like movies, with a beginning, middle and ending &#8212; long, sustained action that ramps up to a satisfying conclusion.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div id=\"image-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"\/w\/images\/5\/51\/Ark-of-Truth-poster1.jpg\" alt='Stargate: The Ark of Truth' width=200 align=right \/><\/div>\n<p> MGM&#8217;s official press release, reproduced at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvshowsondvd.com\/news\/Stargate-SG-1-Ark-of-Truth-Press-Release\/8656\">TVShowsOnDVD.com<\/a>, confirmed the March 11, 2008, release of <em>The Ark of Truth<\/em>, as well as revealed a bit more about the movie&#8217;s plot (spoilers!).
