 In an interview with Wired.com, Star Trek writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman talked about how they approached writing Star Trek (2009). Orci is a life-long fan, while Kurtzman was “converted” when he saw The Wrath of Khan. Even so, for the two fans it was intimidating to be handed the metaphorical keys to Star Trek. Said Orci, “This was not something you go into lightly... Are we worthy?”

 As a famous amphibian once said, it’s not easy being green. What’s even harder, though, is reinventing green, while still being green. That’s the challenge that Zachary Quinto faced when he took on the role of Spock, with decades of backstory and the iconic performance of Leonard Nimoy looming large before him. As with all the other actors in Star Trek (2009), he was faced with a choice: imitate or reimagine - the production’s favorite word. Quinto took the path of reimagining, making Spock his own while still paying homage to the origins of the character.

 Widely regarded as one of - if not the - worst of the franchise, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was panned by even Gene Roddenberry himself. Directed by William Shatner, the film delves into Spock’s apparently psychotic brother and the search for god and Eden. Or Sha Ka Ree, if you prefer. With what could have been an interesting premise - the search for god - The Final Frontier was still marred by all variety of shortcomings. Rocket boots, shuttle-catching nets, row row row your boat to the question: how would you change Star Trek V: The Final Frontier?

 Green girls in Star Trek mean one thing and one thing only: Orion slave girls. Keep your pants on boys, as model and actress Diora Baird has revealed in an interview with Maxim Magazine that she was cast as “the green girl” in the upcoming Star Trek film. Asked to elaborate (you’re an alien?), Baird said, “I would assume so - unless I was born with a skin disease. In the original series, there were these infamous green women that Captain Kirk would hit on, and so without giving too much away, I’m one of those green girls.” Baird is joining fellow model/actress Rachel Nichols as one of the film’s Orion females.

 Bryan Fuller, who wrote for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager, is calling for a return of Star Trek to the small screen, just as it prepares for a nostalgic return to the silver screen and just three and a half years after Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled. “I would love to do another Star Trek series,” Fuller said, “One where you could go back to the spirit and color of the original Star Trek, because somehow, it got colder over the years. I love Next Generation, but it’s a little cooler and calmer than the ones from the ‘60s, which were so dynamic and passionate.”

 Considered by many to be one of, if not the, best Star Trek film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was the mark to which the writers of Star Trek (2009) set to reach. Asked by IESB.net, writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman said that they were most influenced by 1982’s Wrath of Khan. I can’t phrase it much better than that - the Trek-segment of their interview is after the break.

 Depending on whether you like movies or if you’re dead, you may or may not take director Kevin Smith’s declaration of love for The Dark Knight and positive comparison to the as-of-yet unreleased Star Trek (2009) as a good thing. Smith, the director of the cult hit Clerks, was interviewed by First Showing, who asked him to compare mega-hit The Dark Knight with two of the most-anticipated films of 2009: The Watchmen and ST09, which Smith has seen rough cuts of each. While he rated The Dark Knight as the better of the three, he said that ST09 and The Watchmen were a close second.

 In a series of bizarre twists and reveals, it turns out that (as previously stated), Star Trek (2009) scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, along with producer/director JJ Abrams, had formulated a scene for William Shatner in the upcoming film. But, unlike the integral part that Leonard Nimoy is said to play in the film, the Shatner scene that was written was deemed by the team to be not much more than a writing ploy and was scrapped from the final script.

 This week, Star Trek: The Experience ended its eleven-year run at the Las Vegas Hilton. The “time station” attraction wowed hundreds of thousands of fans over the years with its motion simulator rides, museum exhibit, shops, and restaurant. But in the face of stiffening competition and declining guest counts, The Experience owner Cedar Fair and the Hilton were unable to reach a new contract that would allow the unique attraction to continue its run in Vegas.
