With less than three weeks left before the world premiere of the first direct-to-DVD movie, Robert C. Cooper’s Stargate: The Ark of Truth, producers took the afternoon yesterday to screen Brad Wright’s Stargate: Continuum at Sharpe Sound in Vancouver.
The official world premiere date for Continuum has not yet been announced, but Wright offered, “It will be released in July. It was going to be later, but MGM and Fox decided to take advantage of the energy that comes along with Comi-Con in terms of the release.” At last year’s Comic Con held in San Diego, there were several buses covered in Stargate advertisements, promoting the movies and the two series. According to Mary McNamara at Multichannel News, “MGM’s senior executive vice president of finance and corporate development Charlie Cohen said the studio decorated 10 buses and has already reserved the vehicles for next year.” Comic Con will be held in San Diego from July 24 to July 27 this year, so it is possible that Stargate: Continuum will be released at or around those days (possibly on one of the Tuesdays surrounding the event: July 22 or July 29).
Wright concluded, “There will always be Stargate films, that’s inevitable. We’re MGM’s number two franchise after James Bond, so it’s an important franchise and it’s growing still. I don’t see why we can’t do at least one movie a year.”

Just wanted to remind everyone that Stargate – The Ark of Truth is going to be released on March 11, 2008. I for one can not wait for it to be released. If you would like to pre-order the movie you can pre-order it from Amazon. The cost is $16.99 at the time of this writing. How many people are planning on pre-ordering it or have already pre-ordered it. I pre-ordered my copy awhile back.

Stargate SG-1 has been nominated for a Saturn Award once again this year. They have been nominated every year since 1998. Stargate SG-1 will compete against Dexter (Showtime), Battlestar Galactica (Sci Fi Channel), The Closer (TNT), Kyle XY (ABC Family), and Saving Grace (TNT) in the “Best Syndicated/Cable Series” category in the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films’ 34th Annual Saturn Awards, to be presented Tuesday, June 24, at Universal City, California. Stargate SG-1 won the Saturn Award in 2000, 2004, and 2005. I hope they win again this year.
