First we saw the Star Trek old guard on the red carpet for the LA premiere of the new Star Trek movie. Now it’s time to look at the new wave. Here are the folks that are taking their seats inside the new (old) Enterprise.

Here’s Kirk and Spock, aka Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto

Uhura and Chekov, aka Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin

Eric Bana as Nero and Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy

Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson and Bruce Greenwood as Christopher Pike

Next up, some special sci fi guests visit the red carpet. Stay tuned.

Tonight on Heroes: I Am Sylar

brian — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:28:35 +0000

My wife loved Will Smith’s heroic turn in I Am Legend. Folks loved Sean Penn in I Am Sam. But those I Ams were all just a prelude building up to I Am Sylar. Well, maybe not, but now we’re seeing Sylar’s diabolical plan unfold. Shapeshifting his way into the White House would give Sylar carte blanche to take out whoever he wants. And he’d get a kick out of pushing everybody’s buttons.

How long will the alliance between Sylar and Danko last? I’m thinking until one decides the other’s help is no longer beneficial. I wonder if once that happens, Danko will even get the chance to tell Noah Bennet “You know, I did something really dumb. Can a Danko get a hand with this one?”

While a lot of people have been unhappy with Heroes‘ story developments the past couple of years, you can’t blame Zachary Quinto for the show’s declining fortunes. He has consistently made Sylar one of TV’s most interesting villains. Whether he’s playing FBI agent, cuddling with puppies in an alternative future or just ripping people’s heads open, he takes on each role and makes it fun for us. Because he’s obviously having a lot of fun.

When fake Sen. Petrelli stepped up to the podium at his press conference, you just knew we’re in for a wild ride. If the Fugitives thought things were bad before (and they were), I don’t think they’ve seen anything yet.

Star Trek’s Paris Premiere

We’ll always have Paris. . the cast of the new Star Trek movie stepped out on the red carpet in the city of lights on April 14th. Here’s director J.J. Abrams with Eric Bana (Nero), Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Zachary Quinto (Spock), and Chris Pine (Capt. Kirk).

and here we have Abrams attempting to do the infamous Vulcan hand gesture. . . not quite J.J., but good try.

You can see more pics from the premiere over at Film Gecko, but before you go-go, answer me this; what’s the connection between Spock, Paris and Leonard Nimoy?

New Star Trek Movie Photo

Cynthia — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:47:32 +0000

Every photo I see, I get more and more excited about the new Star Trek movie. Zachary Quinto was born to play Spock and I’m liking what I’m seeing so far from Chris Pine (which makes me think of Captain Christopher Pike) who is donning Kirk’s uniform. I certainly don’t envy any of them the task of taking on these much beloved characters but it sure must have been a cool experience for them and everyone who got to step foot on the new / old Enterprise bridge!

Star Trek hits theaters on May 8. In the meantime, visit the website for all kinds of great trailers, photos, downloads and more.
