From The Cutting Room Floor

You might have heard a new Star Trek flick is in the works. Which means nothing really, because what good is the Trek without the Kirk, much less The Spock?

HOWEVER, there WILL be a KIRK and there WILL be a SPOCK in the new Trek. Although, we're not talking about William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy, mind you, but a whole recasting of the original Star Trek characters for a movie of the Enterprise crew when they were a bit younger. But what makes it worth seeing is the cast that's been announced thus far. Check it out.

Simon Pegg will play "Scotty". And THAT means the Shaun of the Dead (and Hot Fuzz) dude will be telling Kirk that he's a doctor, not a plumber, or zombie basher, or policeman.

John Cho of Harold and Kumar fame (also the duder who single-handedly invented the term "MILF" on American Pie) will be stepping in as Sulu.






Eric Bana, who went all green to become The Hulk in the infamous blockbuster flop will apparently be the lead villain.

Not to mention, the real Spock, Leonard Nimoy is set to make some kind of cameo.

I almost wanna buy fake pointy ears and call myself a Trekkie. But, I won't go that far.

Some other movies on the horizon?
How about a whole new Terminator TRILOGY? There was talk about Vin Diesel being the new "I'll be back" man. Sounds lame, but we'll see.

You probably know about Stallone's new installment in the Rambo series this winter, JOHN RAMBO, but he's already talking about doing some more Rambos afterwards. Nuts.

After 28 Weeks Later just went to DVD, there is already talk of 28 YEARS Later to be the third and final chapter in the too-rad-for-words zombie trilogy. There isn't even a script for it yet, so it's a ways away, but it's coming.

TUNES: Radiohead - In Rainbows
FLICKS: 28 Weeks Later
