Life in the entertainment world goes on for the cast of Stargate SG-1 after the decade-old television series wrapped for the final time. Though two SG-1 movies are now in production (with the hope of more to come), actors Christopher Judge ("Teal'c") and Michael Shanks ("Daniel Jackson") have something new in the works: a TV series pilot called Rage of Angels.
Shanks talked about the project in a new interview with iF Magazine.
"Christopher Judge has written a script called Rage of Angels, that he told me late in the game that I was attached to it! MGM is going to produce the pilot and we're going to make it a series. Brad Turner from 24 fame is on tap to direct."
Turner has previously directed the pair in several SG-1 episodes, including "Thor's Hammer," "The Tok'ra," "Touchstone," and "Beachhead." Judge and Shanks will both appear in the pilot.
"Chris's character is basically Gabriel, who has come to Earth find the angel Michael, who has disappeared. And he's basically fed up with the rules of heaven preventing interaction on any level. He casts away the rules of heaven and decides to go look for Michael, and in the process hunt down whatever Lucifer brings to the table.
"And oddly enough I'll be playing Lucifer," Shanks laughed. "It'll be an interesting dynamic there. I'll be playing a misunderstood guy -- someone with daddy issues."
"Hopefully, we'll shoot it by late fall and we'll see where that goes," Shanks said.
Read the full interview now at iF Magazine! Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum are expected to be released on DVD in North America this fall. Also catch Michael Shanks in a recurring role Monday nights on FOX's 24.
