Cool. I was right.
According to TVShowsonDVD.com seasons 9 and 10 (as well as any future releases) will be in slim cases simlar to the Atlantis set. They did mention for people like Quest that like consistancy TV shows on DVD.com suggested to Sony that they offer packaging to make everything the same. Sony seemed open to the idea but no anouncement (obviously).

Actually, that article is fairly confusingly written- it seems to be implying that the existing sets are being reissued in the slim packs, as well as Seasons 9 & 10 being issued with them; with the website suggesting MGm either make the old style available for the new sets or the new style available for the old sets...
I hope it's the former- the slipcase for the amarays is more durable it seems than most slimdesigns.

Yeah thats why I was trying to be vauge in how I presented it as well. I couldn't figure if they were talking about just making the slim ones availible for people who already bought the big ones or if they were talking about big ones being availible for 9 and 10.

Brad Wright on the secrets of success
Hidden away amongst an article about the economic boost to B.C. by the SG shows was this little tidbit...
But the exciting news is that a Stargate movie is still in the works. Wright and his writing team have written a screenplay for a feature film, which he hopes will be produced in the near future.
It'll be interesting to see how they'll pull off a "Stargate 2" for audiences who have only seen the first film, given that it's unlikely to have the heros, villians or situations of the first movie, shy Daniel and maybe Jack, both of whom are very different, hehe.

Hmm. That is interesting 
I wonder what direction they are thinking about taking it in. The whole Lost City thing was at one point supposed to be the movie from what I'd heard.
It would be a hard sell as a sequel though. Maybe it will just be a Sci-Fi thing, where they already have the built in audience. Would be great to see it on the big screen though.

Another movie? That would be strange. I think the TV is fine the way it is. I wonder if the actors from the tv shows will be in the movie.

O'neill will be back? That's good to hear. I've been missing his snark, his pretending-to-be-dumb, his general leadership-y, team-togethery personality.

It also effectively puts her out of the running for the new Wonder Woman movie.

All kinds of fun stuff from Gateworld today. So much so that it almost deserves its own thread.
MGM planning Stargate film, third series
SUNDAY - MAY 7, 2006
by Darren Sumner
Stargate owner Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television has big plans for its hit sci-fi franchise, according to executive vice president Charles Cohen. In a new article at Multichannel News, Cohen discusses Stargate SG-1's two-hundredth episode milestone and where the valuable franchise is headed.
Cohen "says MGM 'intends' to develop a theatrical movie 'derived from the series over the last 10 years' that would ideally 'dovetail' into a third Stargate television show," according to the report.
A theatrical movie based on SG-1 would not have to wait for the series to end -- though the show's producers have been eager to do one for years, and point to the TV series' continued success as the reason it has yet to come to pass. Nor does it mean the show can't continue after a film is released. Cohen said that feature films would "not in any way impair the television run" of Stargate SG-1.
That run may inevitably come to an end for other reasons, though, as the climbing salaries inherent to a long-running series erode the profit that the company is able to make through cable licensing, syndication, and DVD sales.
"The economics of producing a show make it impossible," executive producer Robert C. Cooper told Multichannel. "The simple fact is that salaries go up incrementally as seasons continue. At some point, it just reaches the place where there's no profit to be made." (Executive producer Brad Wright recently spoke to GateWorld on this subject.)
Nevertheless, Cohen suggests that three Stargate series could run concurrently. Network television franchises such as Law & Order and CSI have proved that such a model can work. "If you look at SG-1 -- with bringing in Claudia [Black], Ben [Browder], and Beau [Bridges] -- we've retooled the series with it still being SG-1," he said. "I'd like to see SG-1 go another 10 years. I love the show. I'd like to keep it on forever and keep adding to it."
"It's very ambitious," Cohen laughed. "Brad and Rob will cringe."
Stargate is MGM's flagship television property, and has been compared to its James Bond film franchises as a long-term brand for the studio.
"Stargate on the television side represents the same type of dynamic franchise [as the James Bond movies] for us," Cohen said. "It's enormously important both in terms of what it contributes financially but also what it does for our image."
Though MGM finances most of its film projects 50/50 with new owner Sony (actually a majority shareholder in a consortium of investers that purchased the studio last year), Stargate is one that MGM stills finances in its entirety. "Stargate we own and finance 100 percent, and we're very supportive of it," Cohen said. "We're putting more money into the shows. It's very important to us that this series not only continue but maintain or exceed the quality of what came before. For instance, we're putting Richard Dean Anderson back in the show. We felt it was great for the fan base. That required some money that we hadn't budgeted, but we were very happy to spend."
And there's more to be made than through the traditional television and DVD channels in the digital age: No doubt much to fans' delight, Multichannel reports that an episode downloaded deal, via iTunes, is currently in negotiations. Other populer series, including NBC Universal's Battlestar Galactica, sell new episodes on iTunes for $1.99 each immediately after the first U.S. broadcast.
Whether or not a series bears the name "SG-1," the future of the Stargate franchise is bright indeed.
The tenth season of Stargate SG-1 premieres July 14 on SCI FI Channel in the U.S., and this fall on Sky One in the United Kingdom.

I just found this thread, hooray for other stargate fans!
So has anyone heard what this supposed upcoming Stargate movie might be about? Does anyone think they'll find Merlin (since he's supposedly aging backwards in time)? Why aren't the Ancients doing anything about the Ori? And evidently the writers are "tossing around a possible controversial season 10 story arc for Daniel" I wonder what that might be? Does anyone else miss the enthusiasm that SG-1 had in the first few seasons? It's understandable they are now jaded by all their experiences, but still....Anyway I noticed nobody has posted here for over a week did I miss another Stargate thread being posted somewhere else? What I want to know is, who are the Furlings? They are mentioned in "The Fifth Race" by the Asgard's as being one of the four great races who made a peace treaty. Hopefully someone will answer my questions and I haven't just typed to myself. I just noticed that my husband started this thread in February and didn't even tell me!? I'm the one that got him hooked on Stargate in the first place (ranting over now).

I think that is what the movie and even the new series are going to be about. The Furlings. It just seems like the last great thing they have to explore. It would be generic enough sci-fi that they could make the movie without loosing the general audience.
