They're supposed to be doing a movie based on it, like they did with SG-1. That, and McKay is set to appear on Stargate Universe. (Where I assume he will fix every problem the Destiny is having in five minutes)
They keep saying they will, but as of right now, it looks like the future is rather dire for the project.
1.) One of the last things we heard was that it was shelved in favor of another SG-1 movie that never got off the ground, and that it had actually been shelved indefinitely.
2.) MGM is on the verge of utter and complete disaster, financially. For a company that killed their most famous franchise (James Bond) because they couldn't foot the bill, plus numerous other big name productions (check the list sometime, it's amazing) have been put on hold...I wouldn't hold my breath in seeing this come along.
3.) It's been too long. The Atlantis universe (yes, I realize it's the same 'verse as SG-1 and Universe, but it was it's own thing, ya know?) hasn't been talked about much or even revisited since they went off the air. I doubt it's fresh in the minds of anyone, I just don't see how there could be an audience for it. A few people, myself included, just aren't enough to garner a production.
Most fans have moved onto Universe and embraced the darker, edgier tone. I don't know, just yet, where I stand with it. The show's compelling, sure, but I don't know.
Plus, the SG-1 movies are now sitting in bargain bins for $5.00 at Wal-Mart, and even less at stores like Buy Backs.
If I were MGM, I'd say no. I realize FOX handles the DVD distribution for them and would have some money and input in the matter, but I'm not sure they'd want to take the risk either.

Ah, good call!
I would have liked to see more episodes past Rebirth.
