The next chapter in the Stargate SG-1 team's career after television cancellation—the Stargate: Continuum DVD—will be released on July 29, and will include the original series star Richard Dean Anderson, MGM Home Entertainment said.
The first DVD after Sci Fi Channel canceled the show following a 10-year run on cable, Stargate: Ark of Truth, came out in March and continued the storylines of the show's last season.
Continuum is more of a stand-alone movie: the Stargate team of interstellar travelers is faced with a situation where they must find the missing portal device that named the series and right a situation that sees Earth imperiled by the team's original enemy, the Goa'uld.
Cast members will appear at a key Stargate marketing venue, Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego, and the DVD will be the first Stargate adventure released in a high-definition format (Blu-Ray).
Cast members in addition to Anderson include Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black, Beau Bridges and Michael Shanks. It's list priced in the U.S. at $26.98, or $39.98 for the Blu-Ray version.
Portions were filmed near the Arctic Circle and action sequences include Air Force F-15s and a nuclear submarine.
As Browder—who played Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell on the series' last two seasons—told Multichannel News in March 2007, just prior to filming Continuum: “By Friday, I'll be out on the ice. Somewhere in the Arctic. Waiting on nuclear submarines. And bears”
