MUMBAI: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) has announced that
Richard Dean Anderson will be reprising his role as General
Jack O'Neill for the studio's upcoming show Stargate: Continuum.
Anderson will join cast members Ben Browder (Stargate SG-1's
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell) and Amanda Tapping (Lt. Col.
Samantha Carter) in shooting on location in the sub-zero climate
of the Arctic where the production is working in collaboration
with the U.S. Navy's Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station
(APLIS) for the week of 23 - 29 March 2007.
Stargate franchise co-creator Brad Wright says, "We are
thrilled to have Richard join us for Stargate: Continuum. As
General Jack O'Neill, Richard brings both a sense of history
and familiarity to the continuing adventures of the Stargate
team. And we all recognize his value as the much-loved hero
among the Stargate fan base."
In addition to the frigid outdoor environments, the filming
will also involve U.S. Navy submarine USS Alexandria (SSN-757).
Among the scenes to be filmed at the location involves the
submarine as it bursts through the ice and into the cold Arctic
air with temperatures hovering around 50 degrees below zero.
