Rumor: Tyler Perry Joins 'Star Trek XI'

I normally don't post rumors, because they usually turn out to be false, but every so often, one will pique my interest. At UGO.com, I found this one rumor particularly amusing because it links Star Trek with -- of all people -- Tyler Perry.

Back in the summer, I posted some assets for Perry's Why Did I Get Married? and not only did a few Doomers asked me why in hell I would do such a thing, but I really wondered to myself, Why the hell am I doing this? To my defense, I thought it was a comedy at first, and as as it turned out, we received lots of hits on those posts and positive reader feedback. PEOPLE LIKE PERRY...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!

Nature or Nurture: What Will Be Next For Star Trek?

The Star Trek franchise is in reasonable need of a reboot. One production team, headed by Rick Berman, has been responsible for all "official" Star Trek output on film and television since 1992. That team no longer has a Trek series in production and creative control of the next Trek film has been given to J.J. Abrams. To further emphasize the point, sets in use for decades on the Paramount backlot as "planet locations" have been struck. Long time Trek model and costume makers have been let go. Paramount even reached into its warehouses and auctioned off much of the memorabilia it accumulated over 40 years. The direct creative link reaching back from Berman, Leonard Nimoy, and Harve Bennett to Gene Roddenberry himself has been broken. The old Trek is dead...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!
