The Creation Stargate Convention in Los Angeles<\/a>, California took place this past weekend, November 5-7. Below is a round-up of news to come out of the con, in particular related to upcoming work and on-screen appearances for actors Joe Flanigan<\/a> and Michael Shanks<\/a>. The other actors are busy with their current series, while Michael and Joe have a bunch of things in the works, and we know their fans always appreciate knowing when they can expect to see them in new roles.<\/p>\n

Please also head on over to our gallery<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for a selection of close-up pictures of Joe Flanigan, Michael Shanks, Elyse Levesque, Brian J. Smith, and Chris Heyerdahl!<\/p>\n

Joe Flanigan<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joe Flanigan’s 2-hour movie, a back-door pilot currently called Best Laid Plans<\/em>, will air in the US on Fox on Saturday, January 8, 2011<\/strong>. The project is not yet in IMDB, but we’ll provide a link whenever that happens. Whether the show becomes a series or not depends partly on the ratings for the movie\/pilot, and partly on negotiations between the production studio and Fox Network. What’s unusual is that the producers are Procter & Gamble and Walmart, in other words, major advertisers rather than traditional production studios. They won’t try to sell the show to the network, but rather buy the entire hour of advertising from Fox. If the parties can agree on terms, Joe will be the lead of the series, co-starring with Brooke White<\/a>, a former American Idol contestant.<\/p>\n

The sci-fi movie he worked on in Ireland, The Other Side<\/a> <\/em>, turned out to have a lot more comedy than was on the written page. Both Joe and the director decided it shouldn’t take itself too seriously. When they saw the cut, the network asked, “what is this? where is our movie” Joe had a blast doing it and feels it should be a lot better than Hewlett’s snow monkey movie. \ud83d\ude42 There’s no word yet on what The Other Side<\/em> might air.<\/p>\n

The independent film Joe was in, A Good Day For It<\/em><\/a>, is currently being screened in LA in hopes a distributor will sign on to market and release it.<\/p>\n

Joe hasn’t heard anything about a Stargate Atlantis movie<\/a>. He doesn’t understand why it hasn’t been made yet, given fan support. He spoke to someone involved with the company who has taken over MGM and encouraged them to realize the immense value of the overlooked Stargate franchise. He said, “I think what kind of destroyed the franchise, in some ways, was ego and vanity. When that element of ego and vanity that’s sitting there in the franchise right now gets pushed aside, I think the whole thing could be re-tooled. I think it’s the type of franchise that has years in it, and has lots of legs.”<\/p>\n

Finally, the mini fan “campaign” to get Joe to play Jim Rockford in a Rockford Files<\/em> reboot backfired in that the production and network got very annoyed by all of the emails clogging up their lines of communication. However, Joe thinks it was still a great thing to do, and he’s all for another fan campaign for him to play Nathan Drake in the movie adaptation of the video game Uncharted<\/em><\/a>.

Michael Shanks<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Michael Shanks recently filmed an episode of Fox’s The Good Guys<\/em>, called “Supercops<\/a>“. As episode 18 of Season 1, it should be airing in very soon, perhaps as early as November 19, 2010, on Fox<\/strong>. Michael plays a jerk of a SWAT team leader, and producer Matt Nix told him he’s so good at it, he could make a career out of playing jerks.<\/p>\n

He is currently filming another episode of Smallville<\/em>, “Icarus”<\/a>,\u00a0 which will be episode 11 of Season 10. It’s scheduled to air on The CW on December 10, 2010<\/strong>, according to IMDB. This time they’re using digital wings for him, and he’s hoping they’re more realistic looking, not to mention easier to manage on set. He appears as both Hawkman and Carter Hall in the episode.<\/p>\n

Michael doesn’t know about release plans for the movie he filmed in Tasmania, Arctic Blast<\/em><\/a>. After filming it and seeing some of it during looping, he hopes it doesn’t get released at all. (!) He was clearly disappointed in the filming experience versus what was in the script he signed on for. His exact quote was “Not quite Megasnake<\/em>, but…”<\/p>\n

He doesn’t know of an announced release date for Faces in the Crowd<\/em><\/a>. He hasn’t yet done all of the necessary voice-over work for it, and he’ll have a better idea on release date after that. He said it is “sort of” an independent film. Asked if he enjoyed working with the lovely Milla Jovovich<\/a>, he related that from the set one day, he texted a friend, “I just spent the morning in bed with Milla Jovovich. How was your day?” The same text to his wife, Lexa, didn’t go so well.<\/p>\n

There you have the bulk of the news to come out of the con. Don’t forget to check out the gallery<\/a>,<\/strong> in which a big zoom lens was used, perhaps in ways never intended by man. If you like super close-ups, have a look. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
