Star Trek

J.J. Abrams is one hell of a busy man. He always seems to be working, not just on one project but several at once. If he’s not working out how to finish Lost without totally annoying every fan of the series, he’s working on films such as Cloverfield (which I loved but many hated) or […]

For a television and movie franchise that was seen as dead a few years back, the anticipation for news on the new Star Trek film is seemingly unending. First it was constant speculation over who would play who in the film, and now that’s mostly been taken care of, we’ve moved on to the actual […]
