Atlantis team faces ‘Phantoms’

The cast and crew of Stargate Atlantis marches on to the mid-way point in production of the show’s third season, set for a July 14 premiere on SCI FI Channel in the United States. Prep work has now begun on “Phantoms,” a previously unknown Atlantis episode, according to stunt/fight coordinator James Bamford.

“Phantoms” will be directed by Martin Wood, and will likely air somewhere around the middle of Season Three. No plot details are known about the episode yet, nor is it confirmed whether the episode will air after the mid-season two-parter, “The Return,” or if it will fill the one missing slot in the front half of the season.

The upcoming season promises a lot of action, Bamford said in his GateWorld blog. “Although we have had some great action since, I still think ‘Sateda’ takes the cake for style and action this year so far,” he said. “I glanced at a cut of ‘Common Ground’ and, well, you will all love the heck out of that one, too!

“The truth of the matter is every episode this season is full-on for both action and story. So much to take in.”
