Four prominent members of the Stargate cast are reuniting for a performance of a brand new Stargate script that has been written by an artificial intelligence.
On November 6, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, David Hewlett and Jewel Staite will reprise their roles of Dr. Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter, Dr. Rodney McKay and Jennifer Keller respectively as part of a Stargate table read. The script from which they will read has been written by Google Artificial Intelligence, and covers both character dialogue and stage directions.
"Some lines are surprisingly good, other lines are hilariously bad, but all the performances are heartwarming as expected," said a press release.
The event, which will be streamed online and followed by a Q&A session, has been put together by Stargate co-creator Brad Wright and Google AI’s Laurence Moroney. You can register to view the script read right here.
Stargate has largely been a quiet franchise for many years, with the most recent additions being prequel web series Stargate Origins. A fourth Stargate show is currently in production, according to Brad Wright.
