History Channel involved in far reaching Conspiracy?
21 November 2009 11:34 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
When I was a kid there was a program, a wildly popular documentary program, called In Search Of.... Narrated by Leonard Nimoy it offered viewers the chance to explore all sorts of speculative and paranormal phenomena. Bigfoot, Nessie, UFOs, disturbing disappearances, all got the sonorously serious treatment sending school kids back to the playground week after week to debate and opine. This is also around the time that books like Strange Stories Amazing Facts, In Search of Dracula, Chariots of the Gods, and scads of UFO and Ghost related paperbacks offered up paranormal topics as info-tainment. This show is entertaining enough even if it does tend to tackle timeworn topics. But even the newer topics it does tackle bring up an interesting question.
This weeks announcenment that Oprah is retiring her TV show made me wonder? Did we wind up with Geraldo, Donahue, Sally Jessie and O herself because of »

Joel Wyman and Jeff Pinkner Talk About Fringe
20 November 2009 11:10 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The executive producers of the popular series talks about the season
Fringe is one of the biggest hits of the Fox lineup and it is currently airing on Thursday nights at 9 Pm Et on Fox. Two of the biggest reasons for the show's success are executive producers Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman and the producers recently held a conference call to discuss the new season. Here's what they had to say.
In the season finale, the Peter storyline, obviously it's kind of a large bombshell, it's kind of been on the back burner though a little bit his season. When can we expect to have that revisited?
Joel Wyman: We're definitely, definitely going to revisit it this season, and we're going to get into all, some details, and we're going to follow that through.
Any sort of specific timeline or just this season?
Joel Wyman: I would just say it's slowly unraveling throughout the season. »
Is Nimoy Done With Fringe After 3 Episodes?
19 November 2009 1:17 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Since it’s Thursday, let’s double up on the Fringe news. While we recently brought you news of everyone’s favorite baldy weirdo popping up all over the place, we’ve got bigger fish to fry. In this case, the proverbial fish is the elusive William Bell (played by your friendly neighborhood Vulcan, Leonard Nimoy) and whether or not the story of William Bell is over before it even had a chance to get started.
If you’re in the camp to believe anything this Nimoy fellow has to say, there might be some credit to this rumor. At the DVD launch party for J.J. Abrahams Star Trek, Nimoy took the time to wax poetic about all things Fringe.
“I agreed to do three episodes; and we’ve filmed all three. Two have aired, so I will be on the air in one more. And that’s the extent of my commitment. »

Fringe: The Observers Invade Our Reality
19 November 2009 9:46 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Of all the viral marketing campaigns I’ve seen over the last few years, I’ve really been digging how Fringe is carrying-over one of the running mysteries of the show into the real world: namely, the appearance of “The Observer,” a creepy-looking bald man in a black suit and fedora, who has shown up (on camera, of course) at real-world events ranging from Nascar races to NFL Football games.
With this week’s episode of Fringe, entitled “August” we learn more about the The Observer -- namely [Semi-spoiler] that “The Observer” is actually “The Observer(s),” with a hint as to what the purpose and/or agenda of these mysterious beings means for the world(s) of Fringe. To help promote the episode, Fox has been sending “Observers” out into the real-world, to be spotted by those keeping a careful eye on everything related to the show.

Leonard Nimoy on Star Trek and "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"
19 November 2009 8:15 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
On Monday night, I was invited to participate in the red carpet event celebrating Tuesday's release of the Star Trek DVD/Blu-ray. Not only was it at the Griffith Observatory, somewhere I've always wanted to go, but the legendary Leonard Nimoy stopped to chat with me. I couldn't help myself. I had to ask about a little video he did years back called, “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins”. It's gotten over a million hits on YouTube. I'm sure you've seen it. If you haven't, check it out here. Nimoy couldn't have been sweeter about it. He laughed when I told him I had just put the video up on my blog that day. He said, “Ha! Now that comes under the heading of 'be careful what you do because it lasts a long time'! It's a great kids song. It's a charming... »

'Fringe' Star Anna Torv Teases Leonard Nimoy's Return

'I keep thinking, is there another William Bell?' actress muses about show's mysterious plotline.
By Jocelyn Vena

On the season finale of "Fringe" last spring, fans were surprised to find out that the actor behind the elusive Dr. William Bell was none other than Leonard Nimoy of "Star Trek." And with season two under way and just as many questions going unanswered about Massive Dynamic and the parallel universe, it seems there is still a place for Nimoy to return and leave Olivia Dunham just as confused as he did the first time around.
"I think so, yeah," Anna Torv, who plays the stoic Detective Dunham on the Fox series, said when asked if Nimoy would be back. "This is the thing too: I don't know and I don't know if we're going to meet. ... It depends on if we end up seeing Walter »
Nimoy: 'Star Trek doesn't need me'

Leonard Nimoy has once again declared that he is unlikely to return for the sequel to Star Trek. The 78-year-old told Movieweb that he was excited to reprise the role of Spock for J.J. Abrams's first take on the franchise, but doubts he will come back for another go-round. "I don't think there is room for me to return in a sequel. I don't think they need me," he said during a red carpet event to promote Star (more) »

Star Trek Sequel Casting News – Spock, Pike Out?
18 November 2009 5:01 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
And by Spock I mean Leonard Nimoy, not Zachary Quinto – there’s no chance J. J. Abrams would leave out the logical half of the dynamic duo, but word comes from MovieWeb that Nimoy may not be in the expected sequel.
He told MovieWeb:
If J.J. asked me to come back, I would consider it. But I don’t think it is necessary, nor do I think that is part of J.J.’s plan.
It’s a gracious touch from such an iconic character, particularly as it was his presence in Abram’s fast paced blockbuster that gave it the necessary sense of legacy and gravitas. While it is a shame to think of Star Trek without Nimoy the new cast need to forge a path for themselves, so it makes sense.

Dr. William Bell: Scheduled for Final Fringe Episode
18 November 2009 3:49 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Fringe fans might wanna set their DVR for "Save Until I Delete" status for the December 10 episode.
That will most likely mark Leonard Nimoy's final appearance on the Fox hit, as he told TV Guide Magazine this week:
“I agreed to do three episodes; and we’ve filmed all three. Two have aired, so I will be on the air in one more. And that’s the extent of my commitment.”
Nimoy last appeared as Dr. William Bell on the show's October 8 installment, popping up in a flashback scene that further explored Olivia's alternate reality.
He'll show up again on the episode "Grey Matters," as the series flashes back again, but to a different setting. »

Leonard Nimoy Doesn't Think He'll Return for Star Trek 2
18 November 2009 7:18 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
With J.J. Abrams' Star Trek arriving on DVD and Blu-ray this week, the actors and creators hit the red carpet to celebrate the release. One of the people we got a chance to chat with was Leonard Nimoy, who, of course, plays Spock Prime in the film. The actor told us he was excited to appear in this new incarnation of the franchise, but doubts he will return for a sequel.
"I am very happy with the direction J.J. took this particular film. He has a great cast, and he's in great shape. I was fortunate enough to work with an exceptional group of actors, and the fans really seemed to enjoy the film." He continued by telling us, "I don't think there is room for me to return in a sequel. I don't think they need me. I am happy to see Zachary continue on with the role. »
Star Trek: boldly going where no hot young body has gone before

Jj Abrams's shiny, sexy revamp of the sci-fi classic is out on DVD this week. But if you don't want to fritter away 127 minutes of your time on it, try this condensed screenplay instead
Star TrekBy Paul MacInnes, with apologies to Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and, of course, Gene Roddenberry
Scene 1
Ext: Night. Or day. It's hard to tell in the depths of Space. The good ship USS Enterprise is Bombing along like a Mazda MX5. The only difference is no one's playing Snow Patrol out of the window.
Cut to Int: The bridge of the Enterprise. Imagine a fashionable nightclub full of the Hottest Bodies, clad in something Skintight. Then substitute glow-in-the-dark cocktails for phaser guns, and you're pretty much there.
James Tiberius Kirk stands, legs akimbo, on the bridge. He graduated from the Star Fleet academy 24 Minutes Ago and is now captain of the Enterprise. He looks sexy. »

'Star Trek' blasts off on DVD, but Oscar may have other priorities

Paramount Pictures threw what could only be described as an inter-stellar party tonight for the release of the new "Star Trek" DVD and Blu-ray. Held at the historic Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills, a majority of the film's cast were on hand to celebrate including the one and only Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Karl Urban and Clifton Collins, Jr. (for those wondering, Chris Pine was shooting a movie and out of town). Director J.J. Abrams was also there for the festivities along with the original Chekov, Walter Koenig and, strangely enough, Jon and Daniel Heder.... »
J.J. Abrams, Cast Talk About a Star Trek Sequel
17 November 2009 12:48 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
In celebration of today's release of Star Trek on Blu-ray and DVD, Paramount held a special event in Los Angeles last night in which director J.J. Abrams and various members of the cast were on hand to present some of the cool special features to a group of fans and journalists. Luckily, our friends at Coming Soon were there with questions ready -- questions about a potential sequel. Overall, mum seems to be the word as a Trek follow-up is currently in the script stage, with writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (along with producer Damon Lindelof) working up ideas for where to take the USS Enterprise next. However, the crew on hand for the event did have some fun with the onslaught of questions about another film. Director J.J. Abrams explained that even though he's not 100% committed to the project, he can't see someone else directing: "The truth is, the »

Paramount held a red carpet event for the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Star Trek on the 17th at the famous Griffith Observatory. It was a star studded event, but as with all red carpets, sometimes you get quite a few minutes with the stars, other times you get a minute before the publicist is sticking a knife in your shoulder telling you the star has to move on.Despite the limited time with some celebrities, I got a lot of good info on some of their upcoming projects. Oh, sure. We talked about the DVD a little bit and the special features, but we also got some info on the sequel and weighing the pros and cons of an appearance by Khan as the villain. Also got to talk to the creature designer for Star Trek Neville Page, who is also working on Tron: Legacy, Avatar and Green Lantern. Producer »
Review: The Big Bang Theory - The Adhesive Duck Deficiency
16 November 2009 9:01 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
(S03E08) I'm going to just say it right up front: This was the best episode of the season so far, and is neck and neck with the Leonard Nimoy Christmas episode for title of "best episode ever." Though there were two very distinct stories going on here, they were both hilarious. Too often, when the group is separated, the B plot flounders. However, this week, while Raj, Leonard and Wolowitz in the desert wasn't quite as jaw-dropping as Sheldon grabbing Penny's boob(!), it was pretty damn hilarious.
So, about the desert: Pot cookies. It's amazing to me that something so cliched could end up being so unbelievably funny. While all three of the guys made me laugh, Raj was the real scene-stealer. From his threat to eat all of the lettuce in the world and make his rabbit subjects watch, to the American accent he uses to mock Wolowitz and Leonard, »

Geek Alert: The Art of Star Trek Comes to Life

Just before the weekend hit, we received an awesome little package here at Reject HQ: several copies of the latest release from the folks at Titan Books, Star Trek: The Art of the Film. Shortly after finishing my second go-round with J.J. Abrams' Star Trek on Blu-ray (which I have chronicled in my in-depth review), I took a look at this new book to see what was what. And as I soon found out, Titan Books has once again delivered a companion book that is a must-have for any fan of the film. Combining beautiful concept art from this epic space adventure with hi-res shots from the film, The Art of the Film walks us through all of the design that went into this franchise reboot. Everything is in there, from creature design -- a la the "cousin of Cloverfield" monster from the ice planet Delta Vega -- to the design of the bridges of »

DVD Weekly Roundup – Mon 16th November 2009
16 November 2009 12:23 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Two absolutely massive releases today and even though both of them are Sci-fi films they really couldn’t be more different. One is a huge summer blockbuster and the other is an intelligent indie film. The one thing that they do have in common is that they both rock!
On paper this really shouldn’t work at all. Rebooting a well-loved classic TV series and starting all over again for a new generation had the fans up in arms. Few actually believed that J.J. Abrams would be able to deliver and many braced themselves for the worst.
Holy shit! We were so wrong. Honestly, this could well be the best Star Trek ever made. Yes, this does bring the Star Trek universe bang up-to-date but Abrams has managed to keep the classic feel and mysticism of the original series perfectly.
The film works as a prequel/re-boot/re-imagining. »
