Concept art for the ship being used in Stargate Universe:

The Bridge. Kinda has a DS9 feel to it:

The X-Men must have designed these hallways:

These consoles are kinda funky lookin:

It ought to have a Stargate feel, but this franchise is so dependent on being Star Trek now, why not ape it completly?

Aaand casting has begun!! Scottish actor, Sir Robert Carlyle has been cast as Dr. David Rush, the leader of the expidition (his name has apperantly been mentioned on Joseph Malozzi's blog but was not on the list of characters).

Robert Carlyle was seen recently in 24: Redemption.

Looking at his filmography I've seen him in: Eragon, Hitler: Rise of Evil (where he played Hitler), The World is Not Enough (where he played Bond villian Renard), and The Full Monty.

So Sir Robert Carlyle has 2 things going for him. He's hot and Scottish! Mmm....Me loves the Scottish accent...

SCI FI Channel has announced Justin Louis, David Blue, Brian J. Smith and Jamil Walker Smith will join the cast of the highly anticipated new original series "Stargate Universe." The four will enlist alongside Robert Carlyle (Dr. Nicholas Rush) in the latest adventure in the "Stargate" franchise produced by MGM television. Production will begin in Vancouver in February 2009 with an eye toward a fall '09 premiere.

Edgier and younger in tone than the two previous series, "SGU" follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians, who must fend for themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient ship, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to Earth.

Justin Louis ("Hidden Hills," "The Fighting Fitzgeralds") will portray Colonel Everett Young, an experienced Stargate team leader. Married, with years of tough decisions under his belt, life has taught him never to take anything for granted. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive.

David Blue ("Ugly Betty," "Moonlight") stars as Eli Wallace, a total slacker, who just happens to be an utter genius with anything he puts his mind to - mathematics, computers, video games. A lack of confidence has left him with an acerbic sense of humor.

Brian J. Smith (The War Boys, Hate Crime) is Lt. Matthew Scott, a junior member of the Stargate team. Green and rough around the edges, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he's ready for the responsibility and must learn to command, earn respect through action, and manage the diverse personalities aboard the ship.

Jamil Walker Smith ("Waynehead," "Sister, Sister") will portray Sr. Sgt. Ronald Greer, a Marine with a temper you don't want to mess with. His past is mysterious but it's clear something dark formed the hard shell around him.

After looking these people up I've seen them in the following:
Justin Louis: ST Voyager (which doesn't help all the people comparing SGU to Voyager

), 2008's Andromeda Strain

David Blue: Twili er Moonlight (where he played basically the same character he is in SGU...The only difference being that his character was a Vampire

)

Brian J. Smith: Noob actor. Never seen the only movie he's been in. Altho he's got 2 coming out this year

Jamil Walker Smith: Oh yay... a child actor... how fun....Only thing I've seen him in is an ep of Bones.

*yawn* The Stargate franchise is really getting dull. I LOVE SG1, but hated the spin-offs (Dic's cartoon and Atlantis).

This spin-off doesn't sound any better than the other two...
