We’re told that work on the script started after a major creative meeting last month between SCI FI executives and representatives from the show’s producer, MGM, where the two companies discussed and agreed on the overall creative direction of the show.
–We learned this week that producers have already pitched some initial episode ideas and that preliminary concept art was Fed-Exed from MGM offices in Vancouver, Canada, to SCI FI’s development team in Los Angeles.
–MGM and SCI FI have already begun batting around casting ideas for Universe, although they haven’t shared information about what the roles will be or which actors are being considered. Yet.
What we know about Universe is that it’s executive-produced by Wright and Cooper, the co-creators of Universe’s predecessor series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
Stargate Universe centers on a simple reconnaissance mission that turns into a never-ending quest as a new crew of Stargate explorers gates onto the Destiny, an Ancient ship that is unable to return to Earth. They will travel to the far reaches of the universe, encountering new races, enemies and adventures.
SCI FI Channel plans to begin production of the show in early 2009 and debut it next summer with a two-hour premiere.

We’re already planning to expand the episode guides to cover Stargate Sg1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Infinity and Stargate Universe, along with also adding a biographies section.
But the Stargate Archive Team are also planning to launch a more fully comprehensive section to cover the upcoming Stargate Worlds the game along with expanding our video clips service.
Our plans for expanding the video clips service include visitor generated content allowing for visitors to submit their own videos to us for inclusion in a special ‘User Clips’ section. We’re also looking to expand our existing media content even further.
The team are also passionate about re-launching the Stargate Fan Network which is a service aimed towards other Stargate fan sites, although no formal decision has been made on this yet we are hoping to begin testing this service sometime in the coming months.
If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see added to the Stargate Archive please let us know in the comments section below.
We look forward to an even more exciting future with you all, here at the Stargate Archive.
Kind Regards,
The Stargate Archive Team
