Last week we took note<\/a> of a story<\/a> speculating that MGM’s financial woes could imperil the ongoing production of Stargate Universe<\/a> Season 2 in Vancouver. The question raised was, even though the show was renewed for Season 2 and all contracts are in place, if MGM goes into liquidation, might those contracts not be honored? We decided to ask producer Joe Mallozzi his views of the situation, and he answered in his blog entry yesterday<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Michelle writes: \u201cJoe, do you care to comment on how you guys are feeling about MGM\u2019s financial \u201ctroubles\u201d and how that might affect SGU\u2019s future?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: Heh. \u00a0I read the article you\u2019re probably referring to \u2013 essentially a op-ed that quotes two individuals who clearly know next to nothing about the situation, much less how film and television production actually work. \u00a0SGU is in no danger of being delayed or shelved or carried off by a flock of angry hippogriffs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joe also addressed the recent low ratings for SGU on Syfy and had this to say by way of reassurance:<\/p>\n

Squall78 writes: \u201cAny concerns about the ratings? 5 eps now in a row have fallen below what SGA was pulling last season as a whole. Kinda stinks, some of the best eps have been in the 2nd half. Do you think the move to Tuesday will be good?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: Since the fate of a third season will rest on the ratings of those first ten episodes of season two, I\u2019ll save my worrying for the fall. \u00a0As for the move to Tuesday night \u2013 looking forward to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there you have it — at least one producer believes SGU fans have nothing to worry about, at least until the first half of SGU Season 2 airs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
