In making the announcement, Charles Cohen, Senior Executive Vice President Finance and Corporate Development, MGM said: “We are excited to be working with the U.S. Navy on filming these epic scenes in the arduous conditions of the arctic. SG-1 fans will certainly enjoy these action packed sequences as the Stargate franchise has a rich history of unique and compelling action adventures.”

Lt. Erik Reynolds, the Department of Defense project officer assigned to the movie added: “We look forward to hosting MGM and the Stargate team at APLIS, and showcasing our sailors and the United States Submarine Force’s capabilities in the Arctic Ocean.

With the extreme environmental conditions at the camp, and factors such as shooting on a moving sheet of ice and the occasional polar bear, it certainly will be a challenge, but one that our sailors and the SG-1 crew look forward to taking on.”

In January of this year, MGM gave the green light to two (2) direct-to-video movies based on Stargate SG-1, the longest-running science-fiction series in U.S. TV history. The first movie, Stargate: The Arc of Truth, which is also being co-financed by MGM and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, begins production on April 15. The second movie, Stargate: Continuum which will feature the epic ice camp scenes, will resume filming on May 22. Written and produced by Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, the new movies will include the following Stargate SG-1 cast members: Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Chris Judge, Claudia Black, with Beau Bridges and Michael Shanks.
