Well that was fast. Although we’re still mighty skeptical about Quentin Tarantino actually directing this thing, his Star Trek pitch is moving along rather quickly. The director has met with a trio of writers, with one reportedly emerging as the frontrunner to script the new Star Trek movie based on Tarantino’s idea. But the most interesting part of the latest update on this wacky concept is that Paramount has agreed to Tarantino’s stipulation that the film be rated R.
We still don’t have an official premiere date for Black Mirror Season 4 (that first trailer was in August!), but we do have the next best thing. Who needs one promo, when all six new episodes get their own full-length trailers, including that delightful-seeming Star Trek spoof?
The late, great Leonard Nimoy, who died earlier today at the age of 83, will always be Mr. Spock, second-in-command of the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk. For a long time, Nimoy was not okay with this. And then, over the years, he embraced the character that defined his career and inspired an entire generation of fans (many of whom became scientists, engineers, and astronauts). But Nimoy didn't just sit back and rest on his Vulcan laurels. When he wasn't wearing those pointy ears, Nimoy was acting, directing, writing, singing, and lending his likeness and distinctive voice to commercials and TV specials. He was a real Hollywood renaissance man, dabbling in high art, low art, and everything in-between.
We have very sad news to report from The New York Times: Leonard Nimoy, Star Trek’s Mr. Spock for almost 50 years, has died. Nimoy’s wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, told the Times the cause of death was “end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.” The beloved actor and director was 83 years old.
If only this would actually happen! I very much a 'Star Wars' fan but the recent reboots of 'Star Trek' have been pretty good! If they were to some how make this happen I would be the first one there. Embrace your nerdy side!
Beam me up Scotty! Watch as people at a London mall are mesmerized by a teleportation trick. Are these volunteers really going where no man has gone before? If so, lets beam Chris Monroe there immediately!
I was never a huge fan of "Star Trek" growing up, I was more of a "Star Wars" guy to be honest. However, I did like the last "Star Trek" movie that came out a few years ago. Looks like they moved on to the next installment, which is set for release in May 2013.
