New casting news

SCI FI Channel announced the casting of Justin Louis, David Blue, Brian J. Smith and Jamil Walker Smith in its upcoming original series Stargate Universe. The four join Robert Carlyle, who will play Dr. Nicholas Rush in the latest adventure in the Stargate franchise, which is produced by MGM television.

Production will begin in Vancouver, Canada, in February with an eye toward a fall premiere.

Edgier and younger in tone than the two previous series, Stargate Universe follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians who must fend for themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient ship, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to Earth.

Justin Louis (Hidden Hills) will portray Col. Everett Young, an experienced Stargate team leader. Married, with years of tough decisions under his belt, Young has learned never to take anything for granted and stays on top of his team so they remain alive.

David Blue (Ugly Betty) stars as Eli Wallace, a total slacker who just happens to be an utter genius with anything he puts his mind to: mathematics, computers, video games. A lack of confidence has left him with an acerbic sense of humor.

Brian J. Smith is Lt. Matthew Scott, a junior member of the Stargate team. Green and rough around the edges, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he's ready for the responsibility and must learn to command, earn respect through action and manage the diverse personalities aboard the ship.

Jamil Walker Smith will portray Sr. Sgt. Ronald Greer, a Marine with a temper you don't want to mess with. His past is mysterious, but it's clear something dark formed the hard shell around him.

Brad Wright and Robert Cooper of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis will serve as executive producers and writers on the new series.

Where are the hotties, idiots need to play to the audience that is SciFi channel and get some smokin hot chicks. I swear to god I will kick a puppy if they bring in another Teal'c/Ronnin character.

goatface · 01-16-2009, 11:05 AM

I am betting they will pick up a "hot Alien warrior chick" in the 1st show

Arative · 01-16-2009, 12:15 PM

There is suppose to be some young Senator's daughter. I'm sure she'll be hot. But hot alien ass is always welcome.

Its Stargate, I'll watch it. Stargate might not be the best show on TV but its entertaining.

Final cast members announced

Lou Diamond Phillips in 'Stargate Universe

Lou Diamond Phillips, Ming-Na, Elyse Levesque and Alaina Huffman round out the cast of Sci Fi Channel's new original series "SGU: Stargate Universe."

The four join previously cast Robert Carlyle, Justin Louis, David Blue, Jamil Walker Smith and Brian J. Smith on the MGM TV-produced series, which began production last week in Vancouver.

Edgier than its franchise predecessors, "SGU" follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians who must fend for themselves after they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base is attacked. The survivors, led by Dr. Nicholas Rush (Carlyle), emerge aboard an ancient ship, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to Earth.

Phillips, repped by Global Artists and manager JB Roberts, will play Col. Telford, a lifelong military man and the chosen leader of the ill-fated expedition.

ICM-repped Ming-Na will play Camile Wray, a human resources executive with the international oversight committee that governs the Stargate program.

Levesque ("Smallville") will play Chloe Armstrong, the daughter and aide of a U.S. senator. She is repped by Kirk Talent Agencies. Huffman ("Smallville") will play MSgt. Tamara Johansen, a field medic assigned to treat the seriously wounded. She is repped by the Paul Kohner Agency and New Wave.

Every episode was, "OOH THEY'RE SCARY...AND VAMPIRES! AND ALL LOOK THE SAME!"

The Genai were a better enemy simply because we knew who they were, they had a personality. They were hateable. They kept killing off any good villain an episode later though.

I mean honestly, did you give a shit about any enemy in Voyager? By the time any of them got interesting they had passed through their space so every episode was basically either drama about the ship breaking down or drama about Janeway fucking up a way to get home because she has a pussy.

Picard and Sisko would have been like, "Wait, you can transport across half the galaxy but your culture won't allow you to share? Mr. Worf, set phasers to kill this fool."

So I predict the same for SG:U. Every episode will either be "SOMETHING BROKE FUCK!" while they get attacked, or they find a way home but manage to fuck it up by adhering to their principles.

True but that was years ago.

Voyager was awful and this sounds worse. Then again, I didn't like any of the other Stargate shows either.

One of the biggest mistakes SG series made, was humanizing the bad guys. Go-uld stopped being alien gods, and starting being bungling idiots.
But terrible writing left and right for the various series was the par.

Adere · 02-25-2009, 08:36 AM

I have very little faith in SGU lasting more then 1 season. It just sounds so bad, I will give it at least 6 episodes though to see if its any good.

Malakriss · 02-25-2009, 11:21 AM

If they are fighting an overwhelmingly superior enemy whose empire stretches across the stars, yet they can only lose new ships/technology (repeatedly) through cliched resolutions within 1-2 episodes... something is wrong.

There was no macro level, yet now they're trying to develop a show entirely on the macro level?
