UPDATE - We just got word from Marc Zicree (you can see it in the comments below) that George Takei will not be attending this event.  Also, due to certain restrictions, there won't be a panel. Instead Robert Butler, Sally Kellerman, Christina Moses and Marc will be making some introductory remarks at 2 PM just after the screening of "The Cage" and before "World Enough & Time"

It's not often that a special Trek event comes a long that is epically awesome and free. If you live in Southern California and feel like braving Carmagedon 2011, you'll be in for an extremely special treat. This Saturday (July 16th) at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills George Takei, Sally Kellerman, "The Cage" director Robert Butler and Star Trek writer Marc Zicree will be on hand for a screening of TOS epsiodes "The Cage" & "Where No Man Has Gone Before" plus Star Trek: New Voyages episode "World Enough and Time".

The screenings start at 1pm with "The Cage" and will also include a panel introductions by the guests. Seems like a fantastic weekend event that is best of all; FREE. You do need to RSVP though, which can be done here. More details below, you can also find out more at the Facebook event page here.
