Hold your horses, long-time and hardcore Star Trek fans! Before I spill the beans on the latest news about the newest and latest Star Trek Movie (under the studio, Paramount Pictures), I want you to assure me that you won�t freak out. Clue � canon violation. Yes, it indeed is so, and that�s why you need to please bear with me�

It�s about the USS Enterprise.

Just kidding!

Actually, my news is not on the mother ship itself, but on certain rumors about where the infamous ship is being constructed. News has it that The Enterprise is being built at the �Area 51� (the military base in Nevada known for its conspiracy theories on UFO) Robert Orci confirmed that the rumors are false and that The Enterprise is not in Area 51. This is according to a recent interview with the writer and producer.

Wise move by Abrams and Lindelof

Frederick — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:43:14 +0000

Star Trek producers JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof were wise in their decision to ensure that the script for the new Star Trek movie was all set for filming before protests begin for the WGA strike. The two show support for fellow WGA members as they also walk the picket lines. This is despite being busy with shooting the film. This however did not change the fact that the strike has still affected the film. But I guess their move to finish the script before the protests prevented bigger damages from occurring. Anyway, I do hope that things get better soon.

Shatner shattered

Startrek,
Star Trek, the television version of Star Wars for most people, have been getting lots of raves and reviews recently. This just proves that the movie is really eagerly anticipated by the public. Chris Pine, the actor who ditched White Jazz to fill in the role of James Kirk said he really wanted to evoke Kirk’s character but not exactly the way William Shatner (the actor who played Kirk in the series) did it. He cited famous actor Harrison Ford’s performance in Indiana Jones as inspiration for his acting due to the natural way Ford executed the accidental hero scenario in his character.

Star Trek Terok Nor: Day of the Vipers

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.

‘Star Trek: Hidden Frontier’ And ‘Odyssey’

Frederick — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:43:58 +0000

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.

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.

Jennifer Morrison is in Star Trek!

Frederick — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:43:11 +0000

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.
