 I know, I'm a day late. It's Sunday morning and it's already been a long weekend, so cut me some slack. Anyway, it was another slow week as far as Star Trek: XI news goes. One measly morsel worth mention. Yeah, one. I suppose that's better than no morsels at all, isn't it? On with the round-up!
Trek Movie: Writer Roberto Orci says XI is under a 'critical eye'
Whatever that means. It's only a brief mention in the May 25th issue of Entertainment Weekly, but Orci does talk about ST:XI. It's an article about Hollywood's latest reboot trend (following in the footsteps of the prequel trend), so don't get too hung up when he uses the word 'reboot.'

Status: Filming in November; in theaters Dec. 25, 2008
The Pitch: Psyched by rumors that Matt Damon, Adrian Brody and Gary Sinise will play Kirk, Spock, and Bones? Hold up: The closely guarded 11th Trek movie-produced by Lost’s J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof and directed by Abrams-isn’t cast yet. But fans keep clamoring for a new spin on a brand that had became, after four decades, a tad tired. (See: dismal box office for 2002 film Star Trek: Nemesis and the 2005 cancellation of TV’s Enterprise.) "There has to be a reason to reboot," says Roberto Orci, who wrote the new screenplay with his Transformers co-scribe Alex Kurtzman - and is under strict orders to divulge jack squat - "You’re dealing with a preexisting expectation….so it puts you [under] a more critical eye." Tricorders out, everybody!

"I wish you hadn't done that. That was Weyoun's last clone."
