Variety.com<\/a> has some more information about its distribution schedule:<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Universal Pictures Germany picked up home video and VOD rights for the first two seasons (comprising 12 half-hours). Sony Pictures Television nabbed the series for distribution in various European territories, notably Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland and Luxembourg via its pay TV network.<\/p>\n The first season will be delivered in April and the second will bow in November 2012. Each episode will adapt stories from the original graphic novels.<\/p>\n Created by comic artists Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) and Philippe Druillet in 1974, “Metal Hurlant” became a sci-fi phenom in the 1980s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The level of Flanigan’s first-season involvement still isn’t known, but we’ll keep an eye out for more information. Hopefully, the busy actor will update his Twitter account<\/a> soon!<\/p>\n In the meantime, we can enjoy this interview conducted earlier this month at the Entertainment Media Show in London<\/a>. He talks about his recent projects and filming abroad.<\/p>\n There are loads of reports about JASON MOMOA’s<\/strong><\/a> appearance at the New York Comic Con held a little while back. Just recently, the notification for Huffington Post’s brief interview<\/a> with the Conan the Barbarian<\/em> star hit our inbox. Here’s a Stargate-mentioning snippet:<\/p>\n Q: With your characters on Stargate Atlantis like Ronan Dex and Game of Thrones, do you gravitate towards these warrior types or is that just something because you’re 6’4″ and huge?<\/p>\n JM: <\/strong>When I did Stargate Atlantis, I wanted to work and it was a great opportunity, four years of working on that.<\/p>\n I think when Drogo came along, that’s a once in a lifetime chance to play anything like that. I’ve never seen a character like him in the movies or on TV. He’s such a powerful, raw character. That role was the first time I’ve ever wanted a character in my life.<\/p>\n Because of that, the same casting director came on Conan so everything just kind of lined up that way.<\/p>\n I don’t know, we’ll see. Hopefully there’s a rom-com in there somewhere coming up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Momoa’s most recent project is his movie with Sylvester Stallone, Bullet to the Head<\/em> (aka Headshot<\/em>).<\/p>\n Our COMING SOON<\/strong><\/a> feature has been updated with the premiere date of MICHAEL SHANKS’s<\/strong><\/a> television movie project for Lifetime, The Pastor’s Wife<\/em>. We got the date of November 5, 2011, from this recent announcement about co-star Rose McGowan’s titular role at Monsters and Critics<\/a>:<\/p>\n Lifetime is set to premiere the original movie The Pastor\u2019s Wife, starring Rose McGowan and Michael Shanks in a film about the shotgun slaying of a small town minister and revelations of his dark secrets involving sex, lies and betrayal — shocking his God-fearing community and changing it forever. <\/p>\n The Pastor\u2019s Wife will debut on Saturday, November 5, at 8 pm ET\/PT.<\/p>\n Based on a true story that made national headlines, The Pastor\u2019s Wife centers on the 2006 death of Matthew Winkler (Shanks), a beloved minister and community leader who was mysteriously shot and killed in his Selmer, Tennessee, home. During their investigation, the authorities soon zero in on Matthew\u2019s wife, Mary (McGowan), as the crime\u2019s prime suspect. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Make sure to visit the link for more on the project.<\/p>\n Season Four of Sanctuary<\/em> is currently airing on Friday nights on Syfy and Space, and AMANDA TAPPING<\/strong><\/a> provides lots of interesting behind-the-scenes details concerning its story development and production in an in-depth interview published at The Morton Report<\/a>. This season is comprised of 13 episodes, a reduction from last season’s 20, and Tapping commented on the benefits of a shortened season: <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a whole trigger effect of what Helen has been doing, and, again, I think this season is highly ambitious and it sort of blows the lid off anything we\u2019ve done before. It\u2019s a beautifully shot and written season, and I actually don\u2019t mind that we were taken back down to 13 episodes this year. I know that that\u2019s kind of Syfy\u2019s mandate right now- they\u2019re not commissioning 20-episode series. They\u2019re commissioning 13 and sometimes less, so when we found out that we got a 13-episode pick-up, some people said, \u2018Oh, man, you guys got ripped off,\u2019 and we were like, \u2018No, it\u2019s all good, because now we can make 13 really kick-ass episodes of television.\u2019 We\u2019re not spread too thin and we knew we could do that. Twenty episodes was a big order and we were thrilled to have it, but we have a really good solid season with these 13. Believe me when I tell you that there are no duds episode-wise.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Tapping also talks about directing, sets, motion capture, and Stargate vets DAMIAN KINDLER<\/strong><\/a> and MARTIN WOOD<\/strong><\/a>, so make sure to visit the link for more.<\/p>\n We invite you to leave a link in our comments section below for new items to announce in our next STARGATE BRIEFING.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beau Bridges’s Doodle in Charity Auction BEAU BRIDGES can now add doodling to his many recognized talents as some of his work will be auctioned for charity!
