Quentin Tarantino is not only developing a Star Trek movie with J.J. Abrams, but he’s convinced Paramount to let him make an R-rated feature. And if Paramount can get behind that wacky insanity, then who knows what other zany tricks are up Tarantino’s sleeve — all of which is to say that maybe we shouldn’t be surprised every time there’s a new story about this movie. Anything is possible, including the potential for Patrick Stewart to reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard, which is exactly what he’d like to do.
Our first look at Black Mirror Season 4 brought with it a standout Star Trek spoof, so it isn’t any surprise Netflix wants the word out. Get a look at the “U.S.S. Callister,” along with a Jodie Foster-directed episode in new photos from the fall premiere.
Oh my! George Takei is not thrilled with the decision to make the character he originally played in 'Star Trek' gay, but Simon Pegg and Zachary Quinto disagree with him.
Some people have entirely too much time on their hands. Take this guy, Jason B. He's a HUGE fan of Star Trek. I mean a HUUUUUUUUGE fan. He's gotten deep into recreating the starship Enterprise from The Next Generation in the new game engine Unreal 4. He's working on building all 42 decks, in proper scale, with all the detail he can find.
Man, the rebooted Star Trek movie series really has this whole “casting actors we really like” thing down. The latest report from Star Trek 3 has the great Idris Elba cast as the movie’s villain, whose identity remains, for the moment, a mystery.
As we all know, one of the most notable actors passed away today, Leonard Nimoy.
Nimoy was in plenty of amazing series, most remembered for his part as Mr. Spock in the original Star Trek. He was also a 'Head in a Jar' in the popular Futurama series.
How do I remember him though? His narration in a strange video game/virtual pet...Seaman.
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.
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of ‘Star Trek,’ which debuted on CBS in 1966, and Paramount has been adamant about getting the next film into theaters in time to mark the occasion. Today, they officially set the date. If all goes according to plan, ‘Star Trek 3’ will warp into theaters on July 8, 2016.
