Stargate Creators Speak About Stargate Universe
Brad Wright & Robert C Cooper, co-creators of the Stargate tv series, have been talking about the new edition to the family, Stargate Universe.
Wright said, "After 15 seasons of doing something called Stargate, we wanted to do something new, something very different. Other than the stargate itself, which is still very much at the core of our show, a lot of Stargate Universe is very, very different from the old series. We're very, very proud of this, and excited to still be doing what is basically our 16th season of Stargate."
"One thing we decided, in our pursuit of realism, was to step away from rubber-faced, English-speaking aliens, and you will see none of those in the new show. And fewer trees," he added.
"We will run into aliens. They're just not going to be human, latex-faced, English-speaking aliens."
Cooper added, "When we were conceiving the idea for this, we definitely felt that, in some ways, Atlantis and SG-1 had become a little bit too far into their mythologies. We really wanted, for a number of reasons, to make a show that is broader and more accessible to (a mainstream) audience and not just science- fiction. We felt we had told a lot of Stargate stories - 300 or so episodes - and we wanted to come up with a way to make it fresh. And the best way to do that is to tell stories through new characters' eyes. The great thing about this Stargate is it takes place now. It's contemporary. We have characters who are from our world. Our show doesn't just take place on a spaceship. It takes place on Earth. We're hoping that, by focusing a little bit less of the science- fiction aspects of the story and a little more on the characters, we can reach audiences who wouldn't normally embrace a science-fiction show."
Wright said, "We want our Stargate fan base to join us, and I believe they will be rewarded. They will see (Stargate Universe) as being very much part of the Stargate universe. But we would like the mainstream audience as well."
"Make no mistake," he said. "Battlestar (Galactica) was a quality, quality show. And, yes, we want to make a quality show, too."
The show will make its UK premiere on 6th October, only a few days after its premiere in the US - 2nd October

Robert Carlyle: I've turned my back on cinema for new challenge in TV
From the Daily Record...
IT'S ALMOST impossible to think of Robert Carlyle without conjuring the image of Begbie tossing that pint glass into the crowd in Trainspotting.
Great actor that he is, whatever roles he takes, he will forever be associated with the grinning psychopath from the film that rocketed him to global stardom.Since then, of course, he has notched up more hit movies than many American stars can dream of - not bad for a lad from Glasgow's Maryhill.
He's even been a Bond villain and, let's face it, it doesn't get much better than that.
But now the man who can reduce just about anyone to a quivering mess with one angry glare has turned his back on cinema to star in a TV show - a sci-fi TV show. You would be forgiven for thinking we are winding you up.....
