Zachary Quinto talks up the new 'Star Trek' DVD
20 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
While Zachary Quinto cracked not much more than a knowing smirk while playing Spock in director J.J. Abrams' re-vamped Star Trek - out on DVD Nov. 17 -- "we did do plenty of laughing off camera," chuckles Quinto. Anyone who's seen the leaked gag reel from the movie that's an extra feature on the impending DVD (it's out Nov. 17) knows what he's talking about. "J.J. leads with a sense of humor," Quinto adds, "and that makes it a lot easier when you're undertaking something as large as this project was." So who had Quinto cracking up the most? "Simon Pegg »

Good news, Trek fans. The wait is almost over. Just seven more days until J.J. Abrams' two-disc special edition of Star Trek comes to DVD. Naturally, that means the usual loving assortment of behind-the-scenes extras, including a commentary track from Abrams and his producing and writing teams. But the nuggets you'll want to check out first are the nine deleted scenes. If you can't wait, here's a breakdown of the lost goodies. Scene 1: Spock's birth. This was originally supposed to be the first shot in the movie. A touching and tender scene set on the Vulcan home planet »

Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Review
6 November 2009 10:56 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Space. The Final Frontier. A place few were willing to venture with the last two Star Trek: The Next Generation helmed films. On virtual life support, J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot collaborators reinvented the iconic franchise into something hardened Star Trek fans and casual moviegoers without an ounce of prior interest in the series could equally digest and enjoy. His efforts carried Star Trek into a new frontier of success and riches at the 2009 box office, to a place where Paramount's treatment of the Blu-ray Disc release should . and marvelously does - fall into the esteemed category of exemplary.
Star Trek's reboot begins with a huge bang, a knockout prologue that chronicles the birth of James T. Kirk and the death of his father, a Starship Captain (for twelve minutes), all during a surprise attack by a renegade Romulan Nero (Eric Bana). Flash forward a quarter of a »
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Wil Wheaton was in the Star Trek Movie?
5 November 2009 8:58 AM, PST | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
The Jj Abrams-directed Star Trek movie includes several allusions and tips of the hat to its predecessors. Aside from Leonard Nimoy, there are cameo appearances by numerous Trek veterans of the past. Actor Wil Wheaton has just revealed that he's one of them.
It seems that Wheaton, who's best known to Trek fans for playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, did some voice work on the movie. As he tells it, the job came about through text messaging with Abrams' friend Greg Grunberg.
Wheaton says he had a great time and recorded about three pages of dialogue on an Adr soundstage with Abrams. He provided all of the voices for the Romulans on Nero's ship, including the one who tells the villain "it's time" at the start of the movie.
While much of his voice work has »

Capt. Janeway in 'Star Trek' Sequel?
3 November 2009 10:20 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
She hasn’t even seen the new Star Trek film yet, but Kate Mulgrew, who played Captain Kathryn Janeway in the Star Trek: Voyager TV series, already wants in on the rebooted franchise.
Mulgrew's Captain Janeway also had a cameo in the 2002 movie Star Trek: Nemesis. When asked if she would consider a role in the rebooted Trek film series by J.J. Abrams, she responded, "I would, I'd love to return to Janeway. I'd love to do her in a movie."
Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are currently developing a storyline for the Trek sequel, and in a separate interview, Abrams said any worry about bringing back established characters was negated by the first film’s success. In this summer’s Star Trek, Leonard Nimoy, who originated the Spock role, played an older, time-traveling version of himself.
According to Coventry Telegraph, Mulgrew admitted she has yet to watch Abrams' movie, »

30 October 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Well, that was fast. Barely a week since they were first rumored to be a part of the new "Mad Max" sequel, the news is official — Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are joining the cast of the George Miller-directed film.
According to separate reports in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, both actors have signed onto "Mad Max: Fury Road," the fourth installment in the action-packed franchise.
Hardy, best known for his role as Handsome Bob in "RocknRolla," is set to replace Mel Gibson as the titular Max, while Theron joins the cast in an unspecified role as the female lead.
The "Mad Max" franchise takes place in a post-apocalyptic Australia populated by wastelands, vicious inhabitants and general lawlessness. Following the deaths of his wife and son, police officer Max Rockatansky ventures off into the great unknown of Australia's wastelands, with his own humanity hanging on by a very thin thread. »

The End of William Bell on Fringe?
29 October 2009 5:42 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Just a couple weeks after his latest appearance as William Bell on Fringe, Leonard Nimoy has bad news for fans:
He might never return to the show.
"I've done three appearances for them. I don't know if I will do a fourth," the actor told The Los Angeles Times this week.
Nimoy's Bell most recently appeared in "Momentum Deferred" an episode that revolved around Olivia's return to her alternative reality.
"They've asked me to do more, but we have to talk about where the character is going," Nimoy said. "So far my character and my appearances have been used to lay in information about this alternate universe and the experience of being in this other world. And that's Ok, but I don't know yet what plans they have for really developing a dramatic story for the character. I'm waiting for a conversation about that."

Nimoy Likely To Quit “Fringe”
28 October 2009 3:12 PM, PDT | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
Leonard Nimoy has indicated that he is not likely to return as the mysterious character William Bell on the J.J. Abrams series Fringe, who is more talked about than seen on the series. "I don't know yet what plans they have for really developing a dramatic story for the character. I'm waiting for a conversation about that," he told today's (Wednesday) Los Angeles Times. "I think they're talking amongst themselves now so they can present some kind of plan, a story arc of some kind." The 78-year-old Nimoy, who insists he prefers pursuing his hobby of photography to acting these days -- an exhibit of his work is scheduled to open at the Santa Monica Museum of Art on October 31 -- told the Times that he agreed to make three appearances on Fringe. "I don't know if I will do a fourth."

Is 'Fringe' In Danger Of Losing Leonard Nimoy?
28 October 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Fans of "Fringe" waited patiently throughout the show's first season to meet the enigmatic scientist William Bell. That patience was rewarded in the form of a brief cameo by actor Leonard Nimoy during the season's closing moments and in an extended scene earlier this year.
But based on the words of Nimoy himself, Bell's days on "Fringe" could already be numbered. The actor spoke with Hero Complex about his role on "Fringe," admitting that his turn as the scientific rival of Dr. Walter Bishop's could be at an end.
"I've done three appearances for them," said Nimoy. "I don't know if I will do a fourth."
Two out of Nimoy's three scenes have already aired, with the third performance recently shot. As for why the acclaimed "Star Trek" icon would turn down the opportunity to return to "Fringe," the actor said it has nothing to do with the show's quality, »

By Josef Adalian
Fox's "Fringe" is already one of the coolest shows on TV. Now it's promos are just as hip.
The Fox marketing department has teamed up with Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and the "Fringe" producers to create a very creepy one-minute spot featuring Nin's "Zero Sum" and dialogue from "Fringe" guest star Leonard Nimoy. It will premiere tonight during Fox's baseball coverage.
That's the good news. The bad? No new "Fringe" episodes until Nov. 5.

William Shatner May Appear in Star Trek 2
22 October 2009 2:30 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Leonard Nimoy enjoyed his time working with director J.J. Abrams in Star Trek so much he would come back if asked. But first, Abrams would like to see if William Shatner will appear in Star Trek 2. According to an Associated Press report, Abrams revealed that Shatner almost appeared in Star Trek.
It was a foregone conclusion we wanted him in the movie. The problem was his character died on screen in one of his Trek films and because we decided, very early on, that we wanted to adhere to Trek canon as best we could ... the required machinations to get Shatner into the movie would have been very difficult to do given the story we wanted to tell and also to give him the kind of part that he would be happy with.
It was this thing where it would have felt like a gimmick in order to get Shatner in the movie, »

Video: 'Fringe' Promo Featuring Nine Inch Nails' Song
22 October 2009 1:55 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
There will be a new TV spot for "Fringe" airing on Thursday, October 22 night during Game 5 of American League Championship Series. The interesting part is, it utilizes a song by Nine Inch Nails which has been altered by the frontman Trent Reznor to fit the supernatural show.
"Zero Sum", one of the tracks in the band's 2007 album "Year Zero", has been mashed with a dialogue by William Bell, the character played by Leonard Nimoy. Furthermore, if one plays the song in a computer, he or she will be able to find a familiar glyph from the show on the sound waves.
According to EW, the first person coming out with the idea was Fox's marketing department who then relayed it to Executive Producer Jeff Pinkner. Liking the idea, Pinkner made a connection to Reznor through J.J. Abrams and proposed to him a collaboration. "We offered him compensation, and he said, »

It may not be a paranormal event, but it’s cool and unusual: Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has teamed up with Fringe for a new promo spot, EW.com has learned. The spot, which debuts Thursday during Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, features a reworking of the Nine Inch Nails song “Zero-Sum” by Reznor, who recites lines of dialogue from Fringe's William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) over the music. So, how did the freaky drama series secure the services of Reznor? After Fox’s marketing department showed the Fringe producers a version of the promo that used “Zero-Sum, »

Scream Awards 2009: A Report From Front Row Center
21 October 2009 7:42 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This past Saturday, October 17th, I attended my second year of Spike TV’s annual Scream Awards. Not only did I attend, but I had been hand-picked by the casting director to sit front row center for the show! As a fan-focused awards show, it’s much more enjoyable being seated amongst Jj Abrams, Karl Urban, Elijah Wood and Woody Harrelson. My favorite personal surprise of the evening came when the Best Science Fiction Actress nominees were being announced. I cheered (maybe a little too loudly for my girlfriend’s tastes) for Eliza Dushku when her name was announced, only to discover she was sitting right in front of me. She turned around and flashed me her lovely smile. Good thing my girlfriend isn’t the overly-jealous type.
As for the show itself, it seems as though the winners have already been leaked online, and the best surprises have been revealed, »

Abrams Open to Using Shatner in 'Star Trek' Sequel
21 October 2009 1:03 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
William Shatner raised a stink when he wasn't in the recent Star Trek reboot, which of course featured Leonard Nimoy as an older version of Spock. Some of it was good-natured, but you could tell The Shat felt slighted by director J.J. Abrams. But Abrams now says the door is wide open for the return of the original James T. Kirk.
"It was a foregone conclusion we wanted him in the movie," Abrams told reporters in Australia. "The problem was his character died on screen in one of his Trek films and because we decided, very early on, that we wanted to adhere to Trek canon as best we could...the required machinations to get Shatner into the movie would have been very difficult to do given the story we wanted to tell and also to give him the kind of part that he would be happy with." »

Will the Original Captain Kirk Be in Star Trek 2?
21 October 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The last Star Trek film was by all accounts a huge success, both financially and critically. The reboot brought in $384 million worldwide since its May 2009 release and with the DVD soon to hit store shelves November 17th, the financial gain is sure to continue. Director J.J. Abrams, along with writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci managed to reinvent the Roddenberry franchise without the use of *gasp* William Shatner.
Some people questioned why they wouldn’t bring Shatner on board for the reboot - not because he is the greatest actor in the world, but rather because he essentially Is the embodiment of Star Trek. Our friends at Cinema Blend pointed us towards The West Australian, who were at a Los Angles press conference promoting the Star Trek DVD, where J.J. Abrams addressed that very topic and it looks like William Shatner May (not will) show up in the new Star Trek sequel. »

Shatner May Finally Get A Part In Star Trek, Again
20 October 2009 10:26 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Star Trek was perfectly fine without William Shatner. In fact, it would.ve been fine without Leonard Nimoy as well, but he was there and it kind of worked, so who am I to complain. Either way, die-hard fans still found reason to moan and groan about Shatner.s absence, even though it would have been inexplicable (he died, remember?). Shatner fans, your prayers may be answered by Star Trek 2. The West Australian reports that J.J. Abrams is considering including Shatner in the sequel to his widely loved and successful Star Trek reboot. "I would love to work with him," Abrams said at a press conference. "It was a foregone conclusion we wanted him in [Star Trek]. The problem was his character died on screen in one of his Trek films and we decided that we wanted to adhere to Trek canon..
