Christopher Pike”), Jennifer Morrison (“Winona Kirk”), Clifton Collins (“Ayel”), Faran Tahir (“Captain Robau”), Jacob Kogan (“Young Spock”) and Jimmy Bennett (“Young Kirk”).

eFX Announces Star Trek Prop Replicas

eFX is making a name for themselves in the prop replica game and now they’re taking on the mother of all scifi licenses, Star Trek.
I had the pleasure of meeting with these guys and seeing their work close up at the D23 Expo in Anaheim.  In addition to their Disney statuettes, they had a 1/48 scale Nautilus that made my husband drool. Great attention to detail and everything they do has this sense of hand-made craftsmanship.
Next on the list is the Mark IX Tricorder as seen in Star Trek: First Contact.

Scream Award Nominees Announced

It’s time for the Scream Awards and several of our favorite sci-fi and paranormal shows have made the grade. Not our FAVORITE show, but we’ll forgive them since they did nominate Jensen Ackles’ My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Jared Padalecki’s Friday the 13th for Best Horror Movie. Jamie King was nominated for MBV 3-D but neither of the boys made the best actor cut. (I’m digging on that great Spanish poster with an actual cast photo on it! )
J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie got the most nominations, 17 in all including The Ultimate Scream, Best Science Fiction Movie, Best Director, …read more

Star Trek to Go Where No DVD Has Gone Before

Yeah, it’s cliché but I couldn’t resist – it’s also true. The new Star Trek movie DVD, which will be released on November 17,  is going to have an interactive feature that has never been used on a DVD before. It’s so new, I’m not sure I even understand it.
According to Variety, the DVD packaging will be the key to unlocking an online hologram image of the starship Enterprise. You’ll log in to a special site, then hold your box art up to a webcam for access. Now, if they stopped there, I’d figure that the box is …read more

Astronauts Watch Star Trek in Space

NASA astronaut Michael Barratt didn’t have to stand in line to see the new Star Trek movie when it premiered but he also didn’t get to snack on delicious movie popcorn either since he and his two cremates watched the movie while on board the International Space Station floating high above the earth.
Paramount Pictures transferred Star Trek to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, which then uplinked the film to the space station on Thursday, May 14. Barratt planed to watch the film on a laptop computer inside the Unity module.
