Scribes Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville, Spider-Man 2, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) have been brought in to rewrite Warner Brothers big-screen Robotech adaptation. Lawrence Kasdan apparently wrote a previous draft, and no mention of it being live action or animated this time, although various reports are still calling it live-action – Tobey Maguire is only listed as a producer at this time.

The teaser and the first full trailer for the upcoming Star Trek are now live at the Apple web site at a variety of resolutions, including some HD levels. Note that Quicktime 7 is required. Other issues aside, it LOOKS good. And apparently (from the teaser), the original Enterprise was a turboprop (look at the left nacelle towards the end)…

Communications Director writes in to let us know that Brent Spiner – best known for his role as Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation as well as other roles in movies such as Independence Day and many stage productions – has been added to the guest list for the upcoming Phoenix Comicon, which takes place January 23-25, 2009. He joins Marina Sirtis and Wil Wheaton as the TNG representatives in an already extensive guest list. Read More for the press release.
