MGM Announces SF DVD Slate

MGM announced an ambitious development slate of new films for DVD, including science fiction titles aimed at young men and women, as well as two telemovies based on SCI FI Channel's Stargate SG-1: Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum.

The Ark of Truth began production on April 15, while Continuum, which will feature epic ice-camp scenes shot on location in the Arctic, will resume filming on May 15. The films will feature SG-1 stars Richard Dean Anderson, Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black and Michael Shanks.

MGM has plans to release 12 or more projects per year, primarily based on popular film and television franchises with wide appeal to young-adult entertainment consumers. A list of SF&F MGM DVD titles under development follows.

•Audrey Rose, a remake of the 1977 supernatural suspense film, to be written by Andrea Meyer

•Pet, a horror-thriller written by Jeremy Slater

•Angelmaker, written by Alexander Vesha

•A new film based on Showtime's supernatural series Dead Like Me, written by Steven Godchaux and directed by Stephen Herek

•Species: The Awakening, the latest installment of the SF film franchise

•Wargames: The Dead Code, based on the 1983 movie WarGames

I'm so glad that RDA will be appearing in one of the Stargate movies.

Me too. I really enjoyed seeing him on the Stargate Atlantis episode on Friday night. His quips and one liners have been sorely missed.

He had one of the funniest lines I have heard in a long time. "That sounds more like a plan 'F', as in we are totally!" Didn't realize how much I missed him even though Ben Browder is a decent replacement.

And something like that is part of why I'm hoping "Sanctuary" will be both good and successful:
