JUSTIN LOUIS, DAVID BLUE, BRIAN J. SMITH AND JAMIL WALKER SMITH CAST IN SCI FI'S 'STARGATE UNIVERSE'

New York, NY January 16, 2009 SCI FI Channel has announced
Justin Louis, David Blue, Brian J. Smith and Jamil Walker Smith will
join the cast of the highly anticipated new original series Stargate
Universe. The four will enlist alongside Robert Carlyle (Dr. Nicholas
Rush) in the latest adventure in the Stargate franchise produced by MGM
television. Production will begin in Vancouver in February 2009 with an
eye toward a fall '09 premiere. Edgier and younger in tone than the two previous series, SGU
follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians, who must fend for
themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base
comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient
ship, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to
Earth. Justin Louis (Hidden Hills, The Fighting Fitzgeralds) will
portray Colonel Everett Young, an experienced Stargate team leader.
Married, with years of tough decisions under his belt, life has taught
him never to take anything for granted. He stays on top of his team so
they stay alive. David Blue (Ugly Betty, Moonlight) stars as Eli Wallace, a
total slacker, who just happens to be an utter genius with anything he
puts his mind to - mathematics, computers, video games. A lack of
confidence has left him with an acerbic sense of humor. Brian J. Smith (The War Boys, Hate Crime) is Lt. Matthew
Scott, a junior member of the Stargate team. Green and rough around the
edges, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he's ready for
the responsibility and must learn to command, earn respect through
action, and manage the diverse personalities aboard the ship. Jamil
Walker Smith (Waynehead, Sister, Sister) will portray Sr. Sgt. Ronald
Greer, a Marine with a temper you don't want to mess with. His past is
mysterious but it's clear something dark formed the hard shell around
him. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate
Atlantis, will serve as executive producers and writers on the new
series. Stargate Universe will debut as a two-hour movie event on SCI
FI and will be distributed by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution.

Interesting. Thanks, Banjo. Wonder how well it will go with no real connection to the original SG1 or SGA! :indecision:
