And Daniel Makes Two!

A little under a week ago, the online science fiction magazine, The Companion, hosted a livestream event to talk about the “Stargate” project they are developing with Stargate co-creator, Brad Wright: the production of a “Stargate” script in which each line of dialogue and stage direction is written by a Google-powered Artificial Intelligence program, with individual bots to be created to embody each character.

Held on September 11, “Stargate” alum David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) joined the livestream discussion, along with Laurence Moroney, Lead Artificial Intelligence Advocate at Google. A key hope? To convince some of the former Stargate cast to reunite for a table reading of the computer-generated script.

Hopes have been realized, with Brad Wright sharing today - and Michael confirming in a quoted Tweet - that Michael Shanks will be participating in the project.
