Cameos Galore in New Trek Film
May 21, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Paying homage to an iconic franchise like Star Trek isn’t an easy thing to do but JJ Abrams and crew have certainly tried from obvious shout-outs to the Original Series to the more subtle nuances such as bringing certain figures known for their own attachment to the Trek-verse. The best way to do that is by cameo appearances by key personnel who have a direct link to the franchise or those who over the many years have been vocal about their love of the series in all its incarnations.

In the late 80’s there was a rumor going around that would see Star Trek adapted as Broadway musical. That project never saw the light of day but that doesn’t mean the idea of a musical Trek died.

A Clue Why Abrams May Prefer Wars Over Trek
May 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment

“Star Trek Into Darkness” — A Slice of SciFi Movie Review
May 16, 2013 by 5 Comments
It’s been four years since J.J. Abrams revitalized the Star Trek movie franchise and with each passing summer, expectations for the next voyage “where no man has gone before” have ratcheted up higher and higher.
