By Jennifer Netherby 4/17/2007
APRIL 17 | Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios unveiled its first slate of 12
DVD premiere movies from its recently announced direct-to-DVD
division.
Aimed at young adults, the studio's slate ranges from original
productions such as corrupt-cop thriller Dark Blue, from the writer
of 2 Days in the Valley, to spin-offs from the studio's catalog,
including Legally Blonde.

Borrowing from its TV catalog, the studio will create a dark comedy
spin-off from Showtime series Dead Like Me.
Last month, the studio said it would co-produce two films with
distributor 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment based on the Stargate
franchise. Stargate: The Ark of Truth began production April 15.
Stargate: Continuum, which includes ice camp scenes shot on location
on the arctic, will resume production May 15.
Stargate SG-1 star Richard Dean Anderson continues his role as
General Jack O'Neil in Continuum. Fellow cast members Ben Browder,
Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black and Michael Shanks
will resume their roles in both films.
The series wraps up its 10th season this year on the Sci Fi Channel.
DVD release dates have not been announced for the films.
