 Where My Heart Is...
The skies are green and glowing
Where my heart is, where my heart is.
Where the scented lunar flower is growing,
Somewhere beyond the stars,
Beyond Antares
I'll be back though it takes forever,
Forever, is just a day
Forever, is just another journey.
Tomorrow, a step along the way.
The skies are green and glowing
Where my heart is, where my heart is.
Where the scented lunar flower is growing,
Somewhere beyond the stars,
Beyond Antares
I'll be back though it takes forever,
Forever, is just a day
Forever, is just another journey.
Tomorrow, a step along the way.
Then let the years go fading
Where my heart is, where my heart is.
My love eternally is waiting.
Somewhere beyond the stars,
Beyond Antares

“One of the things you learn as you move up the ranks and get a little older, is that you wish you had more time in your youth to really…absorb all the things that happen to you. It goes by so fast. It’s so easy to become jaded…to treat the extraordinary as just another day at the office.” -- Kathryn Janeway (VOY: Emanations)

 Mulgrew Would Play Janeway Again |

| QUOTE | Kate Mulgrew hasn’t seen Star Trek XI yet, but if J.J. Abrams came along and offered her a part in a movie, she wouldn’t turn him down.
Mulgrew explained why she hadn’t yet seen the Star Trek reboot. “I haven’t, but not for any bad reason,” she said. “It’s a reason of comfort. I did Star Trek myself, and I want to enjoy it when I see it, I want to be comfortable when I see it, so I’m going to wait until I can see it in my living room. I understand that both of those young men [Pine and Quinto] are extraordinary. I’m sure it’s beautifully done. I just want to see it in the comfort of my home.
Would Mulgrew ever play Janeway again? “I would,” she said. “I’d love to return to Janeway! I’d love to do her in a movie, it would be great.”
If Abrams called her for a part in a Star Trek movie, Mulgrew wouldn’t hesitate. “I’d love to do it! I think he’d be wise to do it, don’t you? He should get Picard and myself in there. I think that’s a brilliant idea.”
Mulgrew also spoke of her days on Star Trek: Voyager, and had several favorite episodes. “I loved Death Wish, the discussion of suicide in the Continuum, because I thought that it was the first time that we really saw Janeway in a conundrum. And that’s the best of Star Trek, when the dilemma is philosophical. I also loved Counterpoint, where I could have a little love. I loved Endgame, where I had my hand in almost every aspect of that. I enjoyed a lot of them. A few of them left a little something to be desired, but most of them I thought were very well done.”
Her fondest memory from her Star Trek: Voyager days wasn’t a specific show or scene, however, but her friendships with her fellow actors. “…I can say that I made in Bob Picardo and Robbie McNeill and others, great friends, friends forever. Certain truths, and intimacies were shared over seven years and they were profoundly moving. So in as much as the job was everything for almost a decade of my life, these friendships allowed me to fully embrace it.”

| Nimoy: Who Do You Think You Are? |
| Posted by Mike - 10-30-09 22:01 - 0 comments |
|
| QUOTE | With Star Trek XI behind him, Leonard Nimoy is concentrating on his photography projects.
Last year, Nimoy spent two sixteen-hour days shooting portraits of people who had answered his public invitation to share their hidden selves.
Of the ninety-five who were photographed, Nimoy chose twenty-five of them for an exhibit, Who Do You Think You Are, that will go on display next summer in Massachusetts.
“The idea was to invite people to reveal their secret selves, the self they wish to be or the self they hide from the world,” explained Nimoy. “There was a measure of bravery in this by everyone involved. I had no idea what to expect. Some of the people walked in with these amazing stories, stories you couldn’t anticipate or make up.”
The twenty-five images can be seen here. (Not all images are “worksafe.”) There are photos of wizards, a man who would be Superman, a gay rabbi wearing a leather vest who used the occasion to publicly announce that he was gay, a forest spirit, woman with a chainsaw expressing her unrecognized inner masculine power, a “shy whore,” boxer and a “forest spirit” whose desire was to “avoid war, strife and violence of all kinds, and be part of nature.”
The photography reflects Northampton, and Nimoy wonders how different it would have been had the submission process been different or had the shoot be done in another city. “It would be interesting to see what would happen if you solicited people, sought them out instead of making a public invitation,” said Nimoy. “It might be a difficult process, an ordeal, or it might be explosive. What would you get if you did this in a different community, such as Los Angeles? Would it be totally different? I don’t know the answers to these questions.”
And what is Nimoy’s own “secret self?” “I have no secrets left,” said Nimoy. “I revealed it all long ago.”
On Halloween night, Nimoy will be at the Santa Monica Museum of Art for a one-night exhibition of selected photographs from the project.

| No More Nimoy In Fringe? |

| QUOTE | Could Leonard Nimoy’s role as the mysterious William Bell be coming to an end?
“I’ve done three appearances for them,” said Nimoy. “I don’t know if I will do a fourth.”
Nimoy won’t know the answer to that until he finds out what the plans are for Bell. “They’ve asked me to do more, but we have to talk about where the character is going.”
“So far my character, William Bell, and my appearances have been used to lay in information about this alternate universe and the experience of being in this other world,” explained Nimoy. “And that’s OK, but I don’t know yet what plans they have for really developing a dramatic story for the character. I’m waiting for a conversation about that.”
Nimoy will have some of that conversation with J.J. Abrams, but more with Jeff Pinkner, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. “I think they’re talking amongst themselves now so they can present some kind of plan, a story arc of some kind.”

| Star Trek Klingon Bonus Footage Online |
| Posted by Mike - 10-29-09 22:00 - 0 comments |
|
| QUOTE | Fans who watched Spike TV’s airing of the 2009 Scream Awards last night got an unexpected bonus, a short “bonus clip” from Star Trek XI showing Nero (Eric Bana) in a Klingon prison.
In the clip, Nero is threatened with the use of a Centaurian slug (in Star Trek XI, he threatens Captain Pike with one of the slugs,) but no one can keep a bad Romulan down for long.
The bonus clip isn’t the only treat for Star Trek fans. Another clip on the site features William Shatner on stage during the Scream Awards teasing J.J. Abrams about Shatner not being in Star Trek XI. Just prior to the events in the clip, Shatner had gone onstage to accept The Ultimate Scream award (”best in show”) for Star Trek XI.

| Star Trek XI Collects Another Award |
| Posted by Mike - 10-29-09 21:49 - 0 comments |

| QUOTE | Star Trek XI was a winner at Monday night’s Hollywood Film Festival’s Hollywood Awards.
Started thirteen years ago, the Hollywood Awards are chosen based on “private, press, preview and festival screenings, as well as recommendations from a cross section of Hollywood professionals, including actors, agents, executives, directors, film critics, entertainment journalists, managers, producers, publicists, screenwriters and members of the guilds and societies.”
Although it’s not one of the more prestigious award ceremonies, plenty of stars were in appearance, including Steven Spielberg, Morgan Freeman, Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock, Diablo Cody, Kate Beckinsale, Kathleen Kennedy, Marisa Tomei, Michael Bay, Maria Bello, Edward Asner and Taraji P. Henson.
Star Trek XI was the winner of the Hollywood Movie of the Year. Zachary Quinto (Spock) accepted the award. “Gee, I’m shocked the online community chose to honor Star Trek,” he said.

| Abrams Won’t Direct Mission: Impossible IV |
| Posted by Mike - 10-29-09 21:45 - 0 comments |

| QUOTE | Although he will be involved with Mission: Impossible IV, J.J. Abrams won’t be directing the movie.
In 2006, Abrams directed his first feature film, Mission: Impossible III, but he won’t do the same for Mission: Impossible IV, which goes into production next year for a probable 2011 release.
“I’m producing with Tom [Cruise,] said Abrams. “My guess is, given other things, that I will not be directing the movie.”
According to Abrams the story for Mission: Impossible IV, will “feel consistent with the world that has been created. It’s not a reboot kind of thing.” Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec will be writing the screenplay.
Cruise wanted Abrams for Mission: Impossible IV. “Tom asked if I’d be interested in working with him again,” said Abrams. “I didn’t have a sense of what the story would be, but very quickly this idea came to mind, and Tom reacted to it in a way that got me excited, and then we got André and Josh to come onboard, and they began developing the idea with us.”
Although he has many irons in the fire, Abrams would not be averse to adding another one, being interested in the Superman franchise, as he told MTV recently. “It was a very passionate character for me,” he said. “As a kid growing up it meant a lot to me. It would be wonderful and fun to see that brought back. I don’t know what Warners is thinking or what their plan is. It would be a blast.”
Abrams has written a script about Superman, which has made the Internet rounds, and he feels that a later draft of this script would make a good movie. “That version of the movie, the one that was reviewed and vilified, was actually not the latest draft we had at the time and we worked on it well after that. I do think there’s a version of that movie that could be really fun to see. You never really know. Everything happens for a reason.”
