In fact, Shatner recently announced that his next couple of ST novels would be about young Kirk and Spock at the Academy; no word yet on how the movie news will affect those plans, though I wouldn't be surprised if the books were cancelled, or at best postponed and reworked into sequels to the movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-1145761987730891272006-04-22T23:13:00.000-04:002006-04-22T23:13:00.000-04:00Actually, I'd be happy to see the whole "Star Trek...Actually, I'd be happy to see the whole "Star Trek" franchise retired before Paramount runs it any further into the ground.

Once we can get over the uncanny valley, the future of entertainment is in computer-generated recreations of the younger and/or living versions of old and/or dead actors. It's been inevitable ever since Humphrey Bogart was in that Diet Coke commercial. <BR/><BR/>And what could be more appropriate than to let <I>Star Trek</I> be the first to do this? Much of it will have to be computer generated anyway, because of the special effects. In a way, it would be like <I>Star Trek: The Animated Series</I>. And making even more fitting is that characters in the shows have been using their holodecks for years to recreate Moriarty, Dixon Hill, Buck Bokai, and anyone else they can think of.<BR/><BR/>And the biggest bonus? A CGI Shatner will never want to direct and ruin a <I>Star Trek</I> feature film.Peter Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374559124495979229noreply@blogger.com
