JJ Abrams has finally signed on to direct, the sequel to 2009’s, “Star Trek”. The main cast are all set to reprise their roles. The plot have not been revealed yet, but Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, are returning to write the script as well.
More on the story, here.
Hopefully, a young Khan will be the villain for the next one. I’m also hoping William Shatner will return as Captain Kirk for this one, if possible.
I’m looking forward to the sequel. Hope it will be better than the first.

For a while now, JJ Abrams wasn’t sure if he will direct the “Star Trek” sequel. Now that he’s done with “Super 8”, he signed on to direct “Star Trek 2”. He’s working with the same writers from the first “Star Trek” movie, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof. I’m sure the same cast from the first movie will return too.
Deadline, reports.
I thought the first Star Trek movie with JJ was very good. Lets hope they do a good job with the second movie too. Will JJ finally agree that William Shatner should star in it this time? Hopefully!!! Captain Kirk died in “Generations”, but it’s science fiction. There are always ways to bring the original Capt. Kirk with Shatner back.
It be kind of cool if Patrick Stewart as Cpt. Picard can make a return too.

Star Trek the Videogame trailer has surfaced the web today, brought to you by IGN. As expected, the game looks impressive. Yes, the trailer does show game play footage from the game.
Hopefully, it’ll be a long game and won’t be too easy to play. I hate those kind of games when you get excited for something, the game turned out to be too short and too easy to finish.

Last year, Cryptic Studios released a Star Trek game, called, “Star Trek Online”. Which is an online multi-player game for the PC only. Just announced earlier this week, Paramount announced that there will be a new “Star Trek” video game that will be available for the PS3, Xbox, and PC. The new “Star Trek” game will be adapted from JJ Abrams 2009’s “Star Trek” movie. The new game will continue the adventure from that film, and you’ll get to play either Spock or Kirk. The new “Star Trek” game will be released sometime next year in 2012.
More on it, here.
As a huge Star Trek fan, I’m very excited for this, so I’ll definitely be getting it. I wonder if they’re going to have Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine voice for Spock and Kirk?
I’m sure it’ll be a nice game.

Space, the final frontier. Yes, that’s right Trekkie’s. If you have Netflix and if you LOVE Star Trek like I do, well you Star Trek fans are in for a treat! Netflix will soon start streaming all Star Trek TV shows on July 1st. Yes, that includes the original Trek, TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise. Deep Space Nine won’t be available until Oct. 1st. This is such great news for me. I’m so glad I have Netflix finally! Look like I’m going to be busy this summer, watching Star Trek shows! wOOt!
Read the report, here.

Lets say happy birthday to another Star Trek actor. I wish Leonard wouldn’t retire from acting this soon. It’s understandable why he doesn’t want to play Spock anymore since he’s played the same character for over 20 years.
Both William Shatner and Leonard are inspirational to me. Leonard also turned 80 today. Happy Birthday to Spock! Live long and prosper!
Here is my favorite scene from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”.

I have followed William Shatner’s career for years. You have to give so much respect for this great man. He’s an American icon, and one of the true legends in the entertainment business, in my opinion. This man has done it all. He’s done everything in the entertainment business, that he could run out of things to do.
Lets look at all the things he has done over the years:
I think that pretty much covers it. I don’t think there is anything he hasn’t done yet. He’s 80 years old, still doing the things he loves doing. He hasn’t retired yet. I don’t think he will call it quits until the day he dies. It’s amazing he’s 80 years old and hard to believe too.
Congrats Shat, and happy birthday, man! You’re such a huge inspiration to me!

To fans of the original “Star Trek” and the original “Twilight Zone” TV series, you’ll soon be able to stream them on Netflix this Spring. CBS made a two year deal with Netflix to bring us a slew of TV shows everything from “Medium”, “Twin Peaks”, “Star Trek”, “Frasier”, and more.
The Hollywood reporter, reports.
I’m a huge Star Trek fan so I can’t wait for this ’cause I haven’t seen the entire original Star Trek series. I’ve seen a lot of episodes but not all of them. Now I’ll get to in the Spring!
I don’t have Netflix yet, but I will be getting it hopefully soon. I can get Netflix directly on my PS3 now.

With me being a huge Star Trek fan, I just had to post this one for myself. Here is Leonard Nimoy still dressed up as Spock, behind the scenes of “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” which Leonard directed himself. Remember, the Starfleet team goes back to our current time to visit San Francisco. The mission is, they had to go back in time to save two humpback whales and actually communicate with them. They had to do it to save Earth from a destructive space probe.
Seriously, as some of you may or may not know, I’m a huge Star Trek fan. I’m a die hard Trekkie. I love anything Star Trek and the “Voyage Home” was one of my favorite Star Trek films.
Enjoy this shot of Leonard directing the camera crew behind the scenes, in San Francisco.

It is no surprise to me that all 6 Star Wars movies will be getting re-released to theaters for 3-D. I’m sure it’s no surprise to everyone else either. My question is, will Paramount Pictures, do the same for the first 10 Star Trek films? The original Star Trek and the Next Generation movies? I think that will happen down the road. There’s a few Star Trek films that I think would be really cool in 3-D like, “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” for starters, that’s a big special effects movie. “The Wrath of Khan” and “The Voyage Home” would look great in 3-D as well. As for the Next Generation movies, I can see, “Generations”, “First Contact” and “Nemesis” looking cool in 3-D. I’m sure Paramount has this planned out. Star Trek in 3-D won’t happen right away but definitely sometime down the road.
