Quote
"We’re excited to tell 'Atlantis' stories on a bigger canvas. The successes of the two original 'Stargate' [direct-to-video] movies 'The Ark of Truth' and 'Continuum' have shown us the opportunities that the movie format offers. We have plans for both 'SG-1' and 'Atlantis' to remain vital as we expand the franchise."—Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, co-creators of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis2
