Waiting
We in the States will have to wait till May 8th before the Star Trek movie opens, but it's already debuted in the UK. The early word is quite good.
It's amazing that Star Trek, which wasn't a hit in its initial TV run, is still a going concern. This show that NBC almost canceled in its first season has literally made billions for Paramount.
It remains to be seen if there's any more life in the big screen Star Trek. It seems like a good idea, and Paramount has been doing a wonderful job promoting it. But this is a big budget item, and needs a crossover audience (the kind Watchmen didn't have). It will be fascinating (as you-know-who says) to see what numbers it gets.

PS We seem to be getting a lot of hits for this post. If you check out the blog in general, you'll see other entries (with a lot more content that this piece--usually I see something before I write about it) dealing with science fiction on TV, movies and elsewhere. By the way, do any of you know where we were linked?

Most intriguing words from the BBC link-"hopelessly miscast Winona Ryder" Who is she here- Spock's mum?
I don't do this often, but i have made arrangements to see the new Star Trek opennig night. But I'm having to bribe my kids to come along - go figure!
I think Denver Guy is a leading indicator this movie will be a hit.
Or his kids that it won't be.
