Robert Carlyle will star in Stargate: Universe, the new series from Sci Fi Channel (see “Stargate: Universe in 2009”), according to Hollywood Reporter. His character will lead a group left to fend for itself after being forced through a Stargate when their hidden base comes under attack.

According to the Reporter, the new series will be “edgier, darker, and younger-skewing” than the other Stargate series. Shooting will start in February; the new series will kick off next summer with a two-hour premiere episode. Sci Fi Channel is expected to place an initial 20-episode order.

Carlyle starred in The Full Monty, Trainspotting, and 28 Weeks Later.

So this british guy from 28 weeks later is going to be the new main person of stargate? I'm really not feeling this...

From what I was reading, this new series is supposed to be a BSG space opera replacement. A lone battleship traveling on a constant one way mission. But this series will have a star trek voyager twist by having them interact and meet with new alien species and technology.

umm....

if the writing is lame and the cast is as sucky as SGA this show will die quick

I just hope they have a clean slate crew. Not just the cast, but writers, special effects team, etc. etc.

I was wondering who everyone thinks should be the new characters for Stargate Universe??? The actors I mean....

What do you think????

They already have the full cast... The actors aren't that bad, but the characters they portray are not that great. x_x
