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



Wootie Woot Woot!

*dares not get too excited*

Will it have the original cast? If it has the original cast, I will dare to get excited.

The Stargate movies star the current cast (though I hear RDA is in talks for the 2nd one).

And let's not forget, on the TV-shows-continued-on-DVD front, there is the new Babylon 5: The Lost Tles coming in June.

Although I am very happy for Dead Like Me fans and for Stargate fans ( and include me in that bunch as I most certainly am! ) I can't help but be wistful that Firefly/Serenity isn't getting the same opportunity.

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

*waves up to FM*

I figure these days...I gotta get my kicks where and when I can... Before F*x crushes me. Again.

I've just been surfing for more Dead Like Me info, and I would be very surprised if the original cast is back under an MGM/Dead Like Me regime.

Sounds like there's no love lost there...

I'm eager for SG movie(s), too!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Try to look at it like I am doing FM; if Stargate direct to dvd movies do well it opens up a new medium for Joss to explore for a Serenity sequel. I am hoping they are successful and Joss give this idea a shot.

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

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

Dead Like Me would be awsome. Hopefully the can get Mandy Patinkin from Criminal Minds long enough to film.

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.

I really liked that line too!

Glad to hear RDA will be in at least one of the two movies.

Yep, I have heard a good bit about "Sanctuary" from a podcast I listen to. It certainly is an interesting concept. I will be watching when it comes on.
