djryan writes “According to Variety, MGM will be producing movies based on The Outer Limits, a renewed Pink Panther series and a sequel to Stargate.
No specifics were given regarding how MGM will approach The Outer Limits, but it had already been revealed previously that a new remake of The Pink Panther was in the works, potentially with Kevin Spacey playing Clouseau.
The Stargate movie is a sequel based on the 1994 film so plans on whether the cast of the TV series will be used are not known.
