With much fanfaire, and maybe a little help from our Tim Russ interview, Star Trek: Renegades has met it's initial $200,000 goal on Kickstarter and is shooting for stretch funding of $250,000. Even if the new goal isn't met, the new fan film is funded and with that good news we learn that new stars have been added to the already full roster.

Life After Trek-ker J.G. Hertzler joined the cast this week as well as a few other SciFi familiars. Terminator 2 star, and ex-boyfried of Jolene Blalock, Edward Furlong has joined the cast for an undisclosed role. Stargate SG-1 and Parker Lewis Can't Lose fans can look forward to seeing Corin Nemec in the upcoming feature too. If you guys and gals remember, Life After Trek-ker Michael DeMeritt worked on Park Lewis in his early days in the business we call show. The Trek connections know no bounds...
