Geek Out!

I have to be honest, Star Trek never tickled my fancy. It seemed like a campy cheese-fest for sickly dudes with skin issues. However, my favorite Hollywood heavy-hitter J.J. Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot, are developing a remake.

So far the cast includes:"Heroes" villain Sylar, Zachary Quino as Spock; Anton Yelchin (Alpha Dog) as Chekov and the ridiculously gorgeous Zoe Saldana as Uhura.

Now is seems Abrams and company have found their villain and Captain Kirk. Eric Bana, who has had some recent stinkers at the box office, will play the villain Nero. Dark Horizons is reporting that tween' romantic-comedy star Chris Pine will be playing Captain Kirk.

Speaking of campy cheese-fest, some news that I am emotionally invested in! Thunder, thunder, Thundercats HOOOOOO! One of my favorite cartoons growing up is getting the CG face lift. Warner Brothers has signed Jerry O'Flahtery to directed the new feature that is an origin story with a plot focusing on Lion-O becoming leader of the feline heroes.
