Included in the schedule is a forty-five minute block of time on February 28th at 2:00 P.M. for Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment to promote <i>Star Trek XI<\/i>. Fans are encouraged to &#8220;Be among the first to see exclusive sneak peek footage from this exciting adventure before its May 8 release. Plus a special guest you won&#8217;t want to miss, appearing live on the WonderCon stage.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of <i>Star Trek XI<\/i>, one of the actresses in the film spoke briefly with <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/movies.ign.com\/articles\/953\/953964p1.html\">IGN.Com<\/a>. <font color=\"yellow\">Tania Gunadi<\/font> told IGN that she is playing a Starfleet cadet. &#8220;It&#8217;s a small role,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I worked for three days and they were shooting for about four months. But I will say that I am an alien. I&#8217;m one of the aliens. I must say that the makeup took about four or five hours to put on and two hours to take off &#8211; to remove. It&#8217;s pretty cool, but I can&#8217;t tell you what the alien is.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>CBS announced newly designed characters from the original series that will be appearing soon on new products, according to <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/trekmovie.com\/2009\/02\/12\/cbs-introduces-star-trek-quogs-new-cartoon-style-tos-character-designs-for-multiple-products\/\">TrekMovie.com<\/a>. The characters, called QUOGS, will appear on watches, as vinyl figures, on t-shirts, greeting cards and more. According to CBS Products Executive Vice President <font color=\"yellow\">Liz Kalodner<\/font>, &#8220;The development of QUOGS displays the continued power of the Star Trek brand and its ability to bring smiles to fans around the world. With Star Trek&#8217;s rich history, we believe QUOGS is a gateway to the future.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><i>Star Trek: The Exhibit<\/i> recently opened at the Detroit Science Center, according to <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/29166222\/\">MSNBC<\/a>, where it will run through September 7th. The interactive exhibit features props from the original series, costumes and models. There is a re-creation of the Bridge of the Enterprise where fans can pose for pictures with &#8220;crewmembers,&#8221; and a full-motion flight simulator.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tvshowsondvd.com\/news\/Star-Trek-Rumors\/11310\">TVshowsonDVD.com<\/a> reports that it is rumored that all three seasons of the original series may be in the pipeline for release as early as May of this year. In addition, <i>Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection<\/i> (with the first six films) and <i>Star Trek: The Motion Picture Trilogy<\/i> (the 2nd-4th films) have been confirmed for a mid-to-late May release.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z-Cuv5CipVA&#038;feature=channel_page\">The Shatner Project<\/a> has put up a video clip of some of the <i>Raw Nerve<\/i> interview with <font color=\"yellow\">Drew Carey<\/font>. Carey told <font color=\"yellow\">William Shatner<\/font> why he got into improv. &#8220;I started doing it with the cast of the &#8216;Drew Carey Show,&#8217; explained Carey. &#8220;We used to go every Thursday to the Improv and do improv together. But it was the cast of a sitcom, and making up our own stuff altogether on stage. I loved it and it was my little &#8220;F.U.&#8221; to all the other shows. That&#8217;s really the reason I did it. Just to show up&#8230;I&#8217;d love to see the casts of these other shows go up without the writers and be as funny as we are.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Star Trek XI&#8217; Sneak Peek at WonderCon, Starfleet cadet, &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; QUOGS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4351],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-star-trek"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/general-star-trek\/\" rel=\"category tag\">General Star Trek<\/a>","tag_info":"General Star Trek","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5412"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7129,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5412\/revisions\/7129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
