MGM Stands On The Brink Of Bankruptcy

Published by Stargate Archive Team under News

Financial strife has been rife in the realm of the Stargate franchise, not only has Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection it looks like MGM studios will soon be following their path.

MGM have been looking to restructure their $3.7 billion debt levels for some time, however the struggle hasn’t abated it looks increasingly likely the firm will file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the coming weeks if a potential buyer is not found.

The Hollywood reporter is quoted

With MGM debt recently trading at 60 cents on the dollar that would mean the studio would have to sell for more than $2.2 billion to fully pay off lenders. But almost nobody sees the Lion fetching that sort of money…

If a top bid for MGM fails to find enough support among its more than 140 lenders, the only other option would be a debt restructuring. That probably would include a pre-packaged bankruptcy reorganization by which lenders would morph into owners and present owners would see their stakes heavily diluted.

What does this for the future of the Stargate Franchise? Currently production costs are shared between MGM and SyFy, so any potential buyer of MGM may decide to axe Stargate Universe after its second season depending on how DVD sales play out.

Of course the studio may decide to cancel production on Stargate Universe Season two before it even begins, especially when considering the recent Blu-Ray 1.0 release failed to make the top 100 list over at Amazon.

Stay tuned for further information as and when it breaks.

Stargate Universe Producers Looking For A New Villian?

Published by Stargate Archive Team under Season Two

The various producers of Stargate Universe are looking for a new bad guy to torment and plague the team for the show’s second season.

It is believed that the character, Simeon, will appear in a story arc running six to seven episodes and leading to a confrontation with Nicholas Rush.

Here’s the casting call:

SIMEON (GUEST LEAD) – 35-45.  Simeon is a dangerous Lucian Alliance soldier.  He was a seasoned criminal before being recruited by the Alliance.  He’s strong and intimidating but more crafty and wiry than big and muscular.  Scary in that you’re never sure what he will do.  He also holds secrets that are desperately sought after by Earth and those on board Destiny — secrets he would die or worse, kill to protect.  He’s an antagonist for several episodes before he finally comes into serious conflict with Robert Carlyle’s character Rush and they are forced to face off. RECURRING. This role will work 6-7 episodes (Please submit all ethnicities)
