10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Stargate
6. There Was Going To Be A Third Direct-To-DVD Movie And It Was Going To Be A Crossover
In 2009, MGM confirmed that after Continuum, there would be a third direct-to-DVD movie to tie up the remaining plot threads left behind from Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. However, to date this has not yet come to fruition.
There are several factors behind this. One is the global recession that hit at the end of the '00s. That, combined with the fact that the rise in streaming meant that profit from DVDs were drastically dropping, made the venture a far less attractive project.
While it was still in discussion, it was revealed that Vala Mal Doran would not appear, but that it would be targeting as many members of SG-1 as possible, with Amanda Tapping confirming her appearance, with Michael Shanks and Richard Dean Anderson confirming their's shortly after as well.
However, development hell beset the film and then MGM itself went into a financial crisis. While Stargate: Origins would eventually come along, to date Stargate: Continuum is the last appearance (coupled with guest spots in Stargate: Universe) of the original cast of Stargate SG-1.
