Anyway, the story of how the independent planet of Bajor, the focus of the TV series, became occupied by the Cardassian Union (planet Cardassia), home to a race of militaristic, reptilian appearing humanoids, is now being told in an exciting new novel series by writer James Swallow. The first book, titled Day of the Vipers 2318-2328 is being on the rampage later this month by Pocket Books. It is part of what is to be a series of novels, called together. Star Trek Terok Nor, which itself is piece of The Lost Era. I assume that later books will cover other periods of time linking the Cardassians, the Bajorans, the Federation and others, in relation to what we’ve come to know as the Deep Space Nine space station, that have not formerly been written about or depiction film or television. i keenly await rest of this series, if they are as good as the first episode.

Fan-produced films give the chance to tell original stories that might be too contentious for the usual studios and also help to keep the authorization alive. The best reasons to do something like this, is to offer stories that have yet to be seen, even on the studio backed Star Trek. Obviously, the gay storylines that were launched in Hidden Frontier is one area CBS/Paramount has decided is far too precarious to explore in their corporate strategy to appeal to every demographic on the planet. But with the fan produced shows, it gave voice to a base that has been disregarded over the years. That’s what online shows and movies have given us: a chance to discover these new avenues of story telling.

Posted a report of the “Mega Movie” panel this weekend at the Wizard World Los Angeles convention, in which were offered exclusive previews of such movies as Speed Racer, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Hellboy 2 and several others.
Nevertheless, the panel gave the crowd the breakdown on all the comic book (and then some) related films coming down the pipeline in the near future. While most of the information was previously known, here are new info on the new Star Trek. Regarding the upcoming Star Trek movie prequel, it was confirmed at the WWLA panel that the movie does involves time travel, as rumored for several months.

English actor (not the football player) Greg Ellis of has been confirmed by TrekMovie.com that he will appear in the new Star Trek movie. He will be playing the new role of Chief Engineer Olsen.
Ellis is no newbie at the Star Trek scene having played a role in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (in its final episode, “What You Leave Behind“), and has lent his voice in a couple of Star Trek games. He has also had numerous TV roles, one of the most memorable is his evil villain one in the third season of 24.

18 year old Anton Yelchin, also star of ‘Charlie Bartlett‘ is also part of the cast of the much-awaited Star Trek film directed by J.J. Abrams. This time, we are brought back to the time when Captain Kirk and the rest of the crew were still newbies at the Star Fleet Academy.
Yelchin, will portray Pavel Chekov, a Russian Starfleet officer. However how important this role is in the film is still kept under wraps. Hmm… Interesting!

Paramount has finally launched the official website for the upcoming Star Trek film!
Unfortunately, it is still under construction. Except for a few links, there is still not much information and other web perks. But more will be added as the making of the movie progresses. Most of the links direct users to a mailing list for updates, the Webmaster Program, and the Forum – the latter two still has a “Coming Soon” notice under them.
The official site is located by going to Startrek Movie Official Site and thus far really does not have much content to it.

I love House, and although I watch it for Hugh Laurie, I’m glad that its other stars are given bigger roles due to the show’s popularity. I mean, really, I was quite delighted to find out that Jennifer Morrison has also been casted in the new Star Trek film! There is no confirmation yet as to which role she is going to play. However, I do hope she does not play a doctor in the Enterprise. I suspect that there�s quite a good actress beneath the lab gown there and maybe seeing her garbed in something else will do her good.

Yep, The William Shatner says on a (relatively) new video interview for his snazzy Shatnervision blog, that he feels that the new Star Trek Will be a wonderful film. The only fly in the proverbial ointment is that he feels a little saddened that the producers took the liberty of using a different approach.
Hmm� The actor�s sentiments are quite understandable since he has not been included in the new movie, or at least his character has not been included in the story. Come on, it�s Kirk we�re talking about here!
But as a show of good will and professionalism, he has also expressed his warm wishes on the success of the film.
Perhaps, the next Star Trek movie may have some use for Kirk. What do you think?

I thought it was only a rumor but I found out recently that it is indeed true. Director JJ Adams has Winona Ryder set to play mom to Zachary Quinto’s spock. Wow, imagine Winona Ryder doing mommy roles. Does this confirm my age, as I still see her as Kim in Edward Scissorhands. Okay, I know I’m digressing. Anyway, Ryder has recently wrapped up her other movie, “The Informers,” and is in pre-production on another one which is directed by Rebecca Miller called “Private Lives of Pippa Lee.” But I guess one is never too busy to pass up an opportunity such as this Star Trek movie.

Mr. George A. Rutter has passed away early this month. He was hospitalized at St. Joseph�s hospital in Burbank, California in June of this year due to an ongoing leg infection. He was in the US Air Force during the Second World War but became famous later on as a script writer and supervisor for television shows, especially in the fifties. Rutter, however, was mainly known for his superb work as the script supervisor of Star Trek: The Original Series. His death is truly a loss for the whole Star Trek universe.
