A new casualty of "Stargate: Universe's" cancellation has emerged: the planned "Stargate: Atlantis" DVD movie.




Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi took to his blog to answer fan questions and shared the news.

"I'm sorry to say but the cancellation puts the brakes on whatever progress the 'SGA' movie had made in the past month, shelving it indefinitely," Mallozzi wrote.

"The cancellation of 'SGU' is very bad news for those looking forward to an 'Atlantis' movie," he said.






Mallozzi said plans for a new "Stargate" series are off the table for now, as are the films, but a new show isn't out of the question.

"A new 'Stargate' series isn't even being considered," he wrote.

"As for a totally new show -- I can't speak for [creators] Brad [Wright] and Robert [Cooper], but I'd certainly love to set up a new (non-'Stargate'-related) show somewhere down the line. But given recent developments, I'm thinking that won't be for quite a while."
