Joseph Mallozzi, I certainly hope SOMEBODY on your blog will ask you the questions that nobody seems to be asking you directly. The fans who have been with this for a while already know the cold hard TRUTH, which is the following:
MGM owns all rights to Stargate...AND Stargate Universe:
Stargate Universe and SGU TM & © 2010 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
MGM Global owns all the copyrights for visual and literal elements of Stargate.
And as far as I can tell from using crawlers and making a few calls, there is NO contract between you and MGM which would grant you powers to "shelve" or green-light ANYTHING having to do with Stargate. If movies are going to be made, then MGM will decide if they want to use THEIR scripts (yes, that includes Extinction too), or if they want to do something entirely different. Just because you want SGU to be a movie, and just because the sets are up doesnt really mean anything but hope...for YOU. In reality, those sets are now costing MGM money to maintain at Bridge, and SGU has been cancelled. You are telling your blog readers that "you are concentrating on SGU and SGU alone" means NOTHING to the studio. You can think whatever the hell you want to think but you do NOT call the shots, mkay? When are you gonna fess up?
Brad's buddies at MGM have been fired. His connections with execs were from the OLD, spendthrift MGM which went bankrupt. Bankrolling SGU sight unseen was part of that old MGM culture. But now, you have "money people" at the top watching for a decent return on investment, and SGU is simply not a vehicle for that. Nope, you are protecting THIS:
That office exists because you were Executive Producer for Stargate Universe, and that show has now been cancelled. It doesnt take rocket science to put the "puzzle" together and solve it. I could have had some sympathy for you, but you are...well...an asshole. :icon_e_wink:. You have been nothing but snarly and rude and condescending to the very fans who are responsible for your former fame. We have served justice. But now its time to clarify the situation for the fans.
Somebody is going to ask you if any of this is valid. We will be watching for your answers (as always). If you try to censor them, they will come here, and they will be able to speak out regardless of any censorship on your blog or on Gateworld. Its time to fess up, Joe.
Tell em, Joe...its that time.
- You do NOT control the Stargate name, the Stargate license or Stargate productions.
- You are NOT a decision maker with regard to what movies get made and which dont, or who will write them or star in them.
- You have no power to "shelve" any script belonging to MGM.
- You do NOT get to set priorities for any Stargate movie which might be made or not made.
- You are technically no more than an employee of MGM as a contractor, and your contract has been terminated.

It actually costs less to have offices in Beverly Hills than in Century City. And MGM has a whole tower to themselves (MGM Plaza). It would make more fiscal sense to sell the Plaza and lease space in Beverly Hills before expanding again into their own buildings.
