Creation’s Vancouver Con begins this week

[heisenberg]

April has once again rolled itself around to the front page of our calendars, and with it comes the return of one of GateWorld’s favorite events to attend.
Creation Entertainment brings their annual Official Stargate Convention to the franchise’s home city — Vancouver, British Columbia — later this week. This year’s convention is being held April 14 to April 17 at the Metrotown Hilton in Burnaby. The four-day event will pack in almost twenty main and recurring Stargate cast members and give their fans a chance to see them up close and personal.
The con kicks off on Thursday, April 14 with appearances by Stargate Atlantis‘ David Nykl (“Radek Zelenka”), Mark Burgess (“Dr. Franklin”) from Stargate Universe, and a duo of Stargate SG-1 guests as Dan Payne and Patrick Currie (actors with multiple roles under their belts) drop by.
Friday appearances include Kavan Smith (“Major Evan Lorne”), Alexis Cruz (the original film and SG-1′s “Skaara”), and two actors very familiar with heavy make-up and prosthetics: Andee Frizzell (“Wraith Queen”) and Alex Zahara (multiple roles). Frizzell is stepping in for previously announced guest Chuck Campbell of Atlantis, who was forced to cancel due to commitments with a brand new project.
The convention shifts into high gear beginning on Saturday in what we’ll unofficially call Stargate Atlantis Day. Main cast members Joe Flanigan (“John Sheppard”), David Hewlett (“Rodney McKay”) and Paul McGillion (“Dr. Carson Beckett”) will be joined throughout the day’s events by first-time Creation guest and legendary character actor Robert Davi (Genii leader “Kolya”).
The con wraps up on Sunday, April 17 with a whopping six guests throughout the day. After an extended absence from the Creation stage, Christopher Judge (“Teal’c”) returns this year, along with fellow SG-1 cast member Corin Nemec (“Jonas Quinn”). Recurring cast members J.R. Bourne (“Martouf”) and Christopher Heyerdahl (“Todd” the Wraith) drop by during the day, along with a visit by first-time attendee Jamil Walker Smith (SGU’s “Ronald Greer”). Also scheduled to make an appearance on Sunday is Stargate executive producer Brad Wright.

Well...well..well...Anyone going on sunday to this convention or other days? I think we need some answers and someone needs to pass a few words To TPTB

Well, lets think for a minute shall we??

"So Brad, what's happening on the SGU front"
"Err, I'm still working on it, but no solid news yet, but keep those Emails rolling in guys"

"So Brad, Any news on the SGA front"
"SGA was cancelled and because of the failure in the DTDVD market and the cancellation of SGU, SGA has been shelved indefinately"

"So Brad, How is SGU getting a SGU movie more viable now than 2 years ago with a better performing show"
"Well, that was MGM's fault, we always wanted to do the SGA and SG1 films, just there wasn't the money before"

So Brad, in hindsight, do you still think it was a good idea to cancel SGA"
"We didn't cancel SGA, that was a creative decision between MGM and Syfy, we had nothing to do with it"

Need I go on.........

I don't know, I'm getting the feeling BW is going to be saying "I plead the fifth" a lot or whatever the equivalent is in Canada.

quote from some guy that tweeted some of brad's answers:

• SGU movie is a no go.
• Confident franchise will continue in the future.
• Took too long to pull $$ together.
• I did not cancel Atlantis.
• For now the franchise is in MGM's hands.
• The other movies (as written now) aren't going to happen.
• I appreciate the 'we want you'... I'm gonna try something new for now.
• Syfy did not approach us and ask us to make it like BSG.
• Finale of SGU should leave us happy like "Unending".
• I am more proud of Atlantis than you could ever know.
• Believes that Netflix and Itunes etc is the future of television.
• Thanks for supporting our show

quote from some guy that tweeted some of brad's answers:

• SGU movie is a no go. Yeah!
• Confident franchise will continue in the future. Hopefully without him.
• Took too long to pull $$ together.
• I did not cancel Atlantis. LIAR!
• For now the franchise is in MGM's hands.
• The other movies (as written now) aren't going to happen. Big surprise. They never were going to happen.
• I appreciate the 'we want you'... I'm gonna try something new for now.
• Syfy did not approach us and ask us to make it like BSG. Correct. You were unoriginal and derivative all on your own.
• Finale of SGU should leave us happy like "Unending". Don't care.
• I am more proud of Atlantis than you could ever know. More lies.
• Believes that Netflix and Itunes etc is the future of television.
• Thanks for supporting our show No one supported SGU that's why it failed.

Typical and expected spin.

Well this is sad news. I've got a lot going on right now and didn't see this until just now but I felt the need to make a comment.

I'm sure some of you will be happy to see Brad go but personally it's the worst news out of all of this. I enjoyed the original Stargate movie but I was never a fan until SG1 came along - the characters and ideas created there made it a franchise I cared about. The concept itself never interested me much as it's always the vision of the producers and actors that draws me in.
For me this means that someone else taking over Stargate in years to come, or a re-imagining, doesn't equate to Stargate coming back for me. There's a chance I'll enjoy it as something separate but I'm a fan of the O'Neill, Mckay, Rush canon not a new story. And honestly it's not likely they'll find a team as dedicated as the one they had - a lot of them have been there since (or near) the beginning.

Still Brad Wright and the team have my respect for crafting 17 seasons of great television and an entire universe that I was a fan of. Hopefully whoever is in charge of MGM when they bring it back has a great deal of respect for what they created.

I guess at least THAT is something we can all agree on here :beckettu:

They did a good job of rebooting ST , so when and if they bring back SG with a new team, I'm hopeful for it.
