'Stargate' exec keen on new projects

Brad Wright has confirmed that he is still keen to produce more projects expanding the worlds of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis.

However, the producer told GateWorld that plans for two straight-to-DVD Stargate movies have been shelved.

"The only thing that is blocking [those movies] is the fact that the direct-to-DVD market has gone away," he argued. "We were very fortunate with [previous films] Ark of Truth and Continuum to be among the last very successful direct-to-DVD releases before it all stopped happening."

He added: "The market has changed, and it's still changing, and it's not what it was."

Wright explained that he is now exploring the possibility of continuing both series in a new medium.

"We were ready to go... and the climate never got better," he said. "But that doesn't mean it's not gonna happen. We have a plan B and I've been talking with MGM about it. Hopefully we'll still get our chance."

The second season of latest spinoff Stargate Universe is currently airing on Syfy.
