Robert C. Cooper, the writer, director, and producer of Stargate: The Ark of Truth<\/em><\/a>, talked with Sharon Gosling of MGM’s official Stargate website about the forthcoming release of his movie and Brad Wright’s Stargate: Continuum<\/em><\/a> directly to DVD. “We decided that we wanted to treat these movies as a way of showing both the studio and the fans that these could become a series on their own.”<\/p>\n

Stargate: The Ark of Truth<\/div>\n

In the first part of a multi-part interview<\/a> that anticipates the release of The Ark of Truth<\/em> on March 11, 2008 (North America), Cooper talks about how he found out about the cancellation of Stargate SG-1<\/em>, the new direction for the current cast, and the story behind his movie that was meant to be covered during the show’s Season Eleven. “But for me as a writer, and Charles [Cohen] and Brad [Wright] — we all agreed that the right thing to do for fans that had stuck with the series in seasons nine and ten was to resolve those stories. I felt like there was no ending to the story that I had participated in starting. We had written a lot of stuff that was leading up to this confrontation with the Ori warriors, and we [had] certainly left a lot hanging. As a writer, you want to write the ending! …<\/p>\n

“So, even though the first one is really not a standalone — it’s very much a final chapter in the season nine and ten Ori saga<\/a>, we wanted there to be another, much more standalone adventure to show people that once we had dealt with those Ori issues, we could still go back and tell SG-1 stories, and hopefully continue to do that in the future.”<\/p>\n
