A group of soldiers, scientists and civilians, fleeing an attack, find themselves stranded billions of miles from Earth on an Ancient ship known as the Destiny. Locked on an unknown course, they must fight to survive and find a way home. The danger, adventure and hope they find on board the Destiny will reveal the heroes and villains among them.

Following up on February’s release of 1.0 on DVD and Blu, MGM and distributor Fox Home Entertainment have formally announced to retailers that on July 27th they will release Stargate Universe – 1.5 in both disc formats. Yes, that date is two weeks later than the one we passed along a while ago from The Official Stargate Magazine…but then again, dates move all the time in this industry!

The DVD release will come on 3 discs running 537 minutes long, presented in widescreen video. Audio is in both English: 5.1 Dolby Digital and with an option for Spanish: Dolby Surround. Subtitles are English, Spanish and French. Cost will be $29.98 SRP in the USA, and CA$37.98 SRP in Canada. Package art is below.

The Blu-ray Disc version will also be a 3-disc set for these 10 episodes Video is high-definition widescreen, and audio options on the BD release are for English 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio or for Spanish: 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. English, Spanish and French subtitles are available here as well. Price will be $39.99 SRP in the USA, and CA$49.99 SRP in Canada. Box art can be found at bottom (and we’re certain that MGM/Fox will fix the typo on the spine before the package ships!).

Stargate figurine collectors may have seen the last of the 7” collectables according to producer Diamond Select Toys who have put future releases on an indefinite hold.

“There is a chance you have seen the last of the 7-inch figures from DST,” a rep told fans in a recent Q&A. “We’re not ready to say that but it is possible. Unless something happens to change buyers’ feelings, it’s just not something we can justify in this environment. ”

Since 2006 DST (Diamond Select Toys) has released four series of the popular Stargate SG1 and three series of Atlantis. The next series of figurines including, General George Hammond, Baal, and an Anubis Guard, have already been sculpted but are still pending a release.

The future of the line is in doubt, and whether the last series will ever reach store shelves remains to be seen.

When Lt. Matthew Scott signed up for military service, he never imagined just how much it would one day change his life. People who do join may expect to serve their country, while some are following in the footsteps of family or friends, and others want to make a better life for themselves. Few expect to find themselves hurled across the galaxy with a random bunch of strangers, with little chance of returning to Earth.

While Scott faces his predicament head-on, Brian J. Smith—the actor who plays him on Stargate Universe—has his own challenges. “My character is fresh out of [military] training, so he’s very much by the book,” explains Smith. “Scott could probably tell you what the manual says and the procedure for handling a certain situation, but he’s actually now in a position where he is forced to experience the stress of being a leader in a really visceral way.”

Right off in the show’s pilot episode [Air], we see Scott starting to come into his own. He’s got a big military heart, and as we’re watching him grow, we’re also seeing him making mistakes and losing it, sometimes more than he should.

“Scott is a very emotional kid, and that’s not surprising considering his past. He lost both his parents in a car accident when he was very, very young, and the man who raised him, a preacher, drank himself to death when my character was around 16 years old. Scott then got a girl pregnant, so he had to face that aspect of himself, which was extremely disappointing and disturbing to him. The thing that saved him was the military. Instead of running away, turning to drugs or becoming a delinquent, he bucked up and decided to make something of himself.”  

Positive Support

Although he has only been working in the industry for a few years, Smith has been an actor long enough to know what makes such a career rewarding for him.

“It’s all about the people,” he says. “You hear terrible things about the stars of some TV shows and the terrors that they’ve put people through. I’ve never had to deal with that. I’ve had wonderful role models and people who have always set a great example, worked hard, were positive and supportive of their fellow actors.”

“I’ve found that once again with Stargate Universe. There could have been one of 10 other actors sitting here, but for whatever reason, the cards played out in my favor. It’s a miracle, so why not enjoy a miracle when you’ve got one, and I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy more than one so far. Believe me, I have no complaints. I’m one very happy guy.”
