Hi there, this is my first posting to this forum , huge fan of stargate sg-1 i mean come on, just the greatest show ever!

Anyways people at Sydney Fox Studios are hearing rumours that MGM want to film Stargate 2 there, right here in Sydney :D

Thanks for reading
 
if thats true, then it's just SOOOOOOO unfair:( :angryfire :mad:
they film all the decent films there, like the Matrix, and they're even filming the Matrix 2 AND 3 there!!

no films are ever filmed in England, there is one which sticks out in my mind, not really film, but rather just one scene...in the bond film The World Is Not Enough, they filmed bond walkin into that underground thing (i think), it only lasted 3 seconds!!! but it was filmed in my home town:D , but as soon as i found out about it, they had already filmed it:( :angryfire
 
Actually, you might be surprised at the amount of films that ARE actually filmed in England. Pinewood Studios have one of the best backlots and best facilities in the world. The general public just don't hear of it so unless you actually work for a film company or subscribe to any of the UK cinema mags, you wouldn't know.

:cool: ;)

The main problem with the UK is, obviously, the unpredictable weather, but even that is evening itself out with global warming. Places which weren't suitable before because of lack of sunshine are now becoming accessible. Also it costs more to make films here

It strikes me that Australia with it's warm dry weather would be a good choice if they are making a true sequel to Stargate - The Movie, especially if they are continuing the Abydos desert theme. The cost to make the film there wouldn't be prohibitive either I don't think.

No matter where they film, there's no doubt that access to the stars whoever they are would be extremely limited anyway. Security on film sets (and TV shows) is usually pretty stiff, unless they're shooting actual street scenes where the general public are there by default, and I hardly think that the new Stargate movie would involved Sydney street scenes somehow (of course I might be wrong about that :p )

:D
 
Hey, by a strange co-incidence, I just so happan, at this very moment, to be on the Mummy Returns Website, :rolleyes: :aliengray and just read that part of it was filmed in at UCL! (London) Course, other parts were filmed in Egypt, Morrocco and... somehwhere else, 4gotton, sorry.:rolleyes:

OMIGOD i so hope they do film stargate 2 in australia.
well australia is a great place to film movies, perhaps they should film the series here as well!

btw, stevie are you from australia? im from Tasmania
 
Hey, JAD, have you by any chance done any acting or been an extra in anything recently? (long story)
 
Guys........ I'm not sure about Australia, however they may have the equivalent of the 'Stage' magazine. You can buy this, you don't have to be an actor or musician to get one. Variety magazine also sometimes has adverts where they ask for people to become extras.

They like all sorts of people. old, young, fat, thin, beautiful, plain, whatever. Because nearly everyone will be ideal as an extra for something at some time. My ex hubby did it and appeared in a movie with Michael Caine and Sting. My friend Jimmy Nail did it and eventually got to star in TV shows. And yes for those who do know who he is, Jimmy Nail and I used to do the same entertainment circuits in the North East of England, when he was in a band called King Crab... he used to regularly play a place called Balmbra's Music Hall in Newcastle upon Tyne. He also used to practise in the next room to my band. Brian Johnston of AC/DC was another guy who did the NE clubs, we used to often play in the same town but different clubs and catch each other's act in the breaks!

So it's possible if you're really determined to get into the acting/entertainment scene, but you must be prepared for disappointments and hard knocks. I have an Equity Card and it's hard enough to keep that up these days.

See if you can get the Stage/Variety and look in the classifieds section, you might find an agency asking for extras, and when people like Fox/MGM are looking for such people for a film, they may well send you up for it!

Just a suggestion....

:D

Of course you don't HAVE to listen to me :D :D I'm sure that there are many out there in SG1 land who know better than ole Grandma here...... there always is!

:laugh: :laugh:
 
oooooooooo, when R they filmin' Stargate 2? I'm gonna be in sydney this summer.........
 
I live in a desert city! nothing ever happens here! It's not FAIR!!!:angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire
 
Serena......be cool!

:cool:

This business about the film being shot in Sydney MAY just be a case of 'rumour control out of control'.

God, I really hate it when people start these rumours but don't produce anything in hard evidence to back it up. :angryfire :mad:

It's all just conjecture at present, rumours, rumours and more rumours......i.e. someone's cousin's grandma works as a cleaner in the local film studio. And of course, we ALL know that if you want to know anything (including highly classifed government stuff!) the person to ask is the cleaner.....


:ticking: :D


Nobody's even positively confirmed whether the film will be based on the series or on the first film yet even!
 
:D :eek:

Oh! Oh! Look guys:twirl:

I got me another alien! Do I have to give them names now?

:nuts: :laugh:
 
I is cool, Anni:cool: ....... it was Jessa bein' all :angryfire at where she lives bein' boring. Stuff always happens where I live, like Liverpool won the F.A. cup yesterday!:D

Well, I is still hopin' that they will make Stargate 2 in sydney this summer, it'll make my holiday there complete.........:D
 
Congrats on the alien:rolly2: , whatcha gonna call it?.........
 
Yeah! Way to go Liverpool!

It makes a change from clubs like Man United winning everything!

:D :D

Hope you have a great holiday in the land of the Kangaroos whether SG is being filmed there or not!

I am going to Greece for a week in August, then I have job interviews in Washington DC and Vancouver in September, then I'm a sailing down the Nile in December!

Getting away is the only thing that keeps me going these days!

:D :D
 
:erm: Haven't thought of any names yet.....

Any suggestions? And keep it clean please!

Or perhaps not!

:eek: :D :D
