Show runner Brad Wright, executive producer N. John Smith and production designer James Robbins sit down for a new discussion on Stargate: Continuum.
Here's the first question from the article!
Brad Wright, how does creating and writing a Stargate feature compare to creating TV series episodes? Wright: The funny thing is, we've done so many two-parters you'd think it would be easy to make it longer. A feature script has its own structure. A good feature is in three parts, while a good two-parter has a great cliffhanger in the middle. It's a very different structure, and it's much more fun in some ways to do a feature. The story can evolve the way it's supposed to, and it doesn't owe anything to the episode before or after. The fun part was setting out to write a movie and not just a long episode. Hopefully, that's what we achieved. It's tough. I have to say my first version was way too long, but my scripts always are.
