Bruce Greenwood was in attendance for the premiere of his new movie " Dinner For Schmucks" and let slip the filming date for Star Trek XII.  Hollywood.com was there for the exclusive interview and asked Bruce what he knew about the sequel and whether or not we would see Captain Pike's return.

Is there anything that you can tell us about Star Trek 2?

I just know that the plan is to film it in January, more than that, I don't know. 

Virgin Galactic's flagship vessel, aptly named Enterprise, embarked on it's first crewed flight July 15th.  The ship remained attached to it's mothership VMS Eve for the duration of the 6hr 12min flight.  Crew members Peter Siebold and Michael Alsbury evaluated all of the spaceship’s systems and functions from end to end in the air.

Thanks to our twitter buddy, Star Trek author Dayton Ward, we learned that "KHAAAAAN! The Musical" is making it's world premiere at the Kansas City Fringe Festival this month.  According to Khan Noonien Singh himself, "My plans for world domination will be laid bare in a few weeks at the Kansas City Fringe Festival when Khan! the Musical debuts at the Off Center Theatre in Crown Center. That’s right, it’s a brand new musical all about me, written by Bryan Colley and Tara Varney. Khan! also features rockin’ original music by Tim Gillespie and Michelle Cotton."

The Cartoon Network's "The Super Hero Squad Show" is about to get Trekked with TOS & TNG alums.  George Takei, Jonathan Frakes, & Michael Dorn are set to lend their voices to the show's season two, already in production.  Star Trek isn't the only scifi franchise to be represented in season two, also participating are Mark Hamill (Star Wars), John Barrowman (Torchwood), James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), Adam West (Batman), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules & Andromeda) and Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries). 

As you know, the Scifi Diner Podcast is one of our favorites.  Scott & Miles have become true friends of our site and were gracious enough to invite me to sit in on their most recent interview.  Chase Masterson, a Trek fan favorite, stopped by the diner to talk about her time spent on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", her singing career & charity work, plus her new movie "Yesterday Was A Lie".  "Yesterday" was not only a great co-starring role for Chase, but she also wore the producer hat on the film.  

Check out a brief synopsis for "Yesterday Was A Lie":

CBS Studios Inc. has unveiled the brand new look and experience of the official Star Trek website, Startrek.com.  We we're approached earlier this year to be featured on the "fan sites" portion of the site and gladly accepted.  The new site is described as the end source for all things in the official Trek universe.  To quote the launch press release:  "If you read about something on StarTrek.com, it’s a fact. This is the official Star Trek site and when something runs on StarTrek.com you can rest assured that it’s official, not a rumor. "

William Shatner, man about town, is hosting a brand new show, his second, for the BIO channel that we originally reported on back in May.  It appears that "Aftermath" is set to premiere on August 2nd at 10PM ET/ 9PM CT/ 11PM PT.  The new show takes Viewers back to the dramatic events that dominated the american news cycle as Shatner gains exclusive access to the news makers at the Heart of each story.

We were really tempted to simply leave the headline "Star Trek Online May Become Free To Play", but that's not quite the entire story.  In recent forum posts, after a bit of backlash from players over the most recent "Ask Cryptic" episode, Star Trek Online's executive producer Dan Stahl answers one particularly interesting post.

LeVar Burton is heading back into the realm of scifi with his new TV movie for NBC called "The Jensen Project". We reported on the "Jensen" announcement back in February and that the movie is actually what you called a "backdoor pilot" for NBC, which could lead into a new series for the TNG alum.
