FANS INVITED TO JOIN THE STARGATE ARTIFACTS
AUCTION OF PROPS AND COSTUMES FROM
STARGATE SG-1 AND STARGATE ATLANTIS
Los Angeles, CA, January 25, 2010 – MGM Television is proud to team with Propworx to launch Stargate Artifacts. Fans and collectors now have the chance to win and own iconic screen-used props, costumes and set decoration from the worldwide megahit series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
These two legendary series are part of one of the longest-running science fiction franchise in American television history. The latest installment – Stargate Universe – begins filming its second season in March, with new episodes premiering this spring.
The year-long endeavor launched this past weekend on eBay with the first auction of iconic props, hand-sewn costumes and richly crafted set pieces–-all used by past characters. The eBay auctions will continue weekly, building to two spectacular Stargate Artifacts live auction events in August and November. Thousands of screen-used and production-made pieces of sci-fi TV history can be won and brought into fans’ and collectors’ homes, including Teal’c’s working Jaffa serpent head, Jack O’Neil’s signature sunglasses, and a full-size light-up Stargate.
Information on the Stargate Artifacts auctions can be found at StargateArtifacts.com

About Stargate SG-1
Stargate SG-1 picks up where the blockbuster film left off. Colonel Jack O’Neill (RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON) and his SG-1 team: Daniel Jackson (MICHAEL SHANKS), Teal’c (CHRISTOPHER JUDGE), and Capt. Samantha Carter (AMANDA TAPPING), set out to explore the mysteries of the Stargate. Each mission through the gate carries the SG-1 team to new worlds of a seemingly boundless universe.
About Stargate Atlantis
Atlantis, built thousands of years ago by the highly evolved Ancients, is a base in the Pegasus galaxy that serves as home for an elite expedition from Earth.

does that mean they don’t need the things anymore?? Not even for future films? :( Isn’t there always some hope!? *sigh* ..well, I think I’ll take the Stargate then.
Nobody better outbid my on that Iratus Bug!!!!
Exciting and yet, sad.
Don’t they need the stargate for the movies they’ll be filming?!?!?
this is cool and very sad at the same time – does this mean that the movies are totally dead in the water?
PLEASE tell us this DOESN’T mean there will be no SGA movies!
Probably not. They’ll just probably green-screen them.
Are you kidding??? Selling all those stuff? Ok I understand the Jaffa stuff, but the Stargate itself?
My only consolation is that the article says that “Many items are screen-used, while others were produced by the production but did not appear on screen”…
Maybe they have multiple gates and will used another for the MOVIES which have to coume out :(((
come* – spelling mistake
…this is so sad. :(
I don’t think the movie will ever be made. At least not according to Jason Momoa. The way he describes the situation it doesn’t look like it will ever be made. There seems to be some issues with rights and allot of people fighting over money, so yeah it sounds like a big mess that will be hard to solve.
Heres the link for the youtube clip with Momoa saying what I said a little bit more detailed, it comes up 2.35 into the clip:

Seeing this isn’t a joy I hope no one buys anything unless the money goes towards the movie and people promise to lend for free any props they buy. I WANT AN ATLANTIS MOVIE!
That’s great for the fans but it’s more evidence that the atlantis movie is dead.
Well this pretty much confirms that there will never be an SGA movie, not that I believed the ptb ever intended making one. The only way I would buy any of this stuff is if the money was going to a charity.
Stargate is pretty much over for me now as I’ll never consider SGU remotely stargate.

As so many this news brings me some worries about the SGA movie. I observe the SGA probs that have been put in auction come from previous eps and some replicate uniform or from cut off from the gate during the built. But After so many conflicting declarations, so many postponements, and promises that have not been hold this could be the evidence of the death of the movie. But I want to stay positive. It could be MGM and producers don’t want anymore interested in this “High move to a big format cancelling SGA on a high note”.LOL :(… Read more »

As of this posting Daniel’s glasses are going for over $700 and Shep’s wristband for $800.
…and they think there is not enough interest in these shows…
I saw this too Sylvia.
How could they think SGA didn’t have anymore enough interest among the fans…:(
Bad thinking. Bad idea.
Bad choice from BW and co.
“Bad choice from BW and co.”
Don’t think it was BW’s decision said he said: “Honestly, I expected Atlantis to go another year, and then we’d either have another year before Universe started up or we would just wind up doing a couple of more direct-to-DVD Stargate movies.”
Quoted from: https://www.gateworld.net/news/2010/01/wright-reveals-origins-of-stargate-universe/
[…] hearing that they’ve axed the Atlantis movie?! See here for the depressing news. Also, the Atlantis props being sold off to the highest bidder, so that’s a basically a confirmation that there will be no movie. All the while this is […]
Atlantis! I still can’t beleave it’s over! :( after only 5 seasons! I want more Stargate Atlantis! I love this show!
Anyway, this means – for me, of course – that there will be NO Stargate movies in the future at all! We are deluded completely. SO sad and shocking. Why BW doesn’t dare to tell this sad news to fans straightly? Why we have to find out this ourselves? This is unfair.:(
OMG how can they do this to us?! They go and cancel our awesome show for some stupid Stargate Voyager, they promise us a movie, and now they’re cancelling the movie too?! HOW DARE THEY. I will be sending them so much many letters, so many lemons, so many emails, so much **** that they will burn in hell. I MISS Teyla, Sheppard, Mckay, and Ronon. :< D: UGH. :(
It is apparent that whoever makes the decisions regarding the Stargate franchise is “lost in space” with their SGU ship/show…I was a huge SG1 fan and even a bigger SGA fan. To end SGA after 5 seasons was a disaster…to not make the movies…an even bigger mistake. Now they are auctioning off props??? Wow…what a slap in the face! Why even get everyone’s hopes up about the movies in the first place.
