David Hewlett, the actor who played Rodney McKay on all 3 Stargate shows tweeted the following yesterday:
Sounds like I'm soon to be reunited with Stargate's "Destiny"…2013 is going to be a good year…for me & science fiction anyway!—

Later he followed up with this:
“@BadAstronomer: Uh, WHAT??? Details, man.” Saved some of Destiny when SGU cancelled. Wrote a movie for it. Shooting T.O. Feb 2013…Yay!—

I’m going to assume/ hope that this is about a Stargate movie and not his own project (Starcrossed) using the SGU sets (which I would still watch though). If so, then it is most likely the movie which Brad Wright and Robert C Cooper had been planning to make after the show got cancelled but was shelved because they couldn’t get their act together in time (source). Or maybe it is a different Stargate movie that will properly end SGU and SGA? I don’t know but I am super excited to find out what’s up with this. Hewlett bought much of the SGU sets after its cancellation and had them put in storage so a return to the Destiny in some way seems very possible now. I guess the franchise may not be dead after all!
What do you think is going to happen?
