MGM Interested In Third Stargate Movie

"We might be making another movie," Wright told a packed crowd at Comic-Con International in San Diego on Friday. "MGM has suggest we start thinking about that and start putting a story together, and that's what we're doing right now."

But not just a movie ... it seems that MGM is confident SciFi Channel or some television outlet will pick up the previously announced third series "Stargate: Universe" as well.

The panel comes a day after "Continuum" premiered on an aircraft carrier in San Diego that included some of Friday's panelists like Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Christopher Judge and a rare convention appearance by Richard Dean Anderson.

"What I am real happy about with 'Continuum,' doing a series for 10 years like we did year after year is get everybody back," Wright said. "It felt good to have everybody back."

"Continuum" is the second direct-to-DVD movie the Stargate franchise has released this year, and it included a bit of filming in the Arctic that included subzero temperatures at minus 50 degrees.

"The whole experience, the Cessna that takes you two hours over the frozen ocean, Ben [Browder] and I giggling and sliding down the ice and making snow angels, we looked like we were 6 years old," said Tapping, who plays Samantha Carter in the film.

Christopher Judge, who plays Teal'c in the film, said he enjoyed the Arctic because he wasn't even there.

"They all went to the arctic, and I was left behind," Judge said. "I think I traveled to L.A. and played golf in a balmy 85-degree weather. I peed indoors, I had a nice meal, and was absolutely warm."

Having a little bit of the old and new from the Stargate series was a bit surreal for Browder, who joined the series in the ninth season as Cameron Mitchell.

"I can't think of an emotionally difficult moment," Browder said. "Not that I wasn't given these things to do, but coming in late, everyone here talks about the 400 years they've been shooting the show, and you know, having arrived late on the show, there was concern -- probably on everybody's part -- that, 'Oh, this isn't going to work' or 'They look too much alike,'" referring to Michael Shanks.

"This is an easy group to hang out with," he said. "We come to Comic-Con, and I noticed as we were standing backstage that all of us were clustered around together, chatting about whatever it is they like to chat about. You would think after 10 years, at least Mike [Shanks] and Chris [Judge] would've had enough of each other. They're like an old married couple."

"Stargate: Continuum" is released on DVD Tuesday.
