This is unusual… a few Trek-related news bits this week:
- In a Rotten Tomatoes interview, Grindhouse actress Sydney Tamiia Poitier, daughter of the legendary Sidney Poitier, says she auditioned for a role in JJ Abrams’ forthcoming Star Trek movie for Christmas 2008. Was it for Uhura? Don’t know.
- I might’ve mentioned here before about Tim Russ directing an independent Trek film called Of Gods And Men. Now he says the first part will in all likelihood be released next month.
- And the big news of the day - Nichelle Nichols will join her fellow TOS comrade George Takei in a recurring role on the TV show Heroes.
