With the summer 2009 premiere of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek still more than a year away, Leonard Nimoy has officially passed the torch as Spock to cast mate Zachary Quinto. The rite of passage happened at Sunday's Grand Slam XVI Sci Fi Summit in Burbank, Calif., and came in the form of a T-shirt that said "No.1 Vulcan.""I think I'm going to have to grab a marker and change it to 'No. 2 Vulcan,'" a touched Quinto said to the audience. TV Guide later welcomed the opportunity to talk with the "two Spocks." — Carita Rizzo
TV Guide: Zachary, what kind of questions did you have for Leonard? Zachary Quinto: They came up as things evolved. The process that I went through to play this part was very internal and private, but in terms of what we're getting into today, I couldn't ask for a better introduction to the experience and to the fans than to engage in it with him here by my side. It's literally unbelievable.
TV Guide: Can the Star Trek life experience be described, Leonard? Leonard Nimoy: Not in a word. It's been a long, long road for me. I first got involved in 1964, about 44 years ago, and it's had the ups and downs of a very long relationship. There were times when it was fantastic, and there were times when it was dismal, painful. There have been times of struggle, times of questioning — What are we into and what should we do next? Should we do anything about this and why don't we just stop? And then suddenly there's a revival and it gets exciting again. It's a long and very, very interesting ride and now I really feel that I can let it go personally and watch it go off in a very good direction.
TV Guide: When J.J. approached you, what were your thoughts about reviving the character? [Nimoy and Quinto both portray Spock in the new film.] Nimoy: I was very flattered. I respect [Abrams] a lot. I respect his work. And he was very flattering with his thoughts about Star Trek and my involvement in it and what I might be able to contribute to the next film. We had a couple of exciting and very interesting meetings. He then sent me a script and it was unlike anything I had ever read before, Star Trek or otherwise. It was just so loaded with exciting ideas on a big scale and action and great characterizations. I said to him, "I think you've got the characters wonderfully, but I'd be lying to you if I said I understood everything I just read." We talked a little about my questions, about what was happening, and I signed on. Obviously I'm very glad I did, because I think it's going to be a great movie.
TV Guide: What do you think J.J. brings to Star Trek? Quinto: Everything. He brings his ability to execute his vision — which is basically unparalleled — a really generous spirit, a lot of respect for the people he works with and the people who work with him, a sense of humor and some mad beat-boxing skills. In between takes, actually.
TV Guide: Is this a crazy movie to promote, because of all the secrecy? Nimoy: There's always been an issue of trying to protect the secrecy of the next Star Trek movie, whichever one it was. There are people who make it their business to try to get their hands on the script and be able to say, "I got it and I can tell you what's happening." In this particular case it's been a very special effort on the part of those people to break through the security barrier, and as a result the security has been stronger than it ever has been before. Quinto: I think the speed with which people get their information now makes it more of a problem. The first day I shot the movie, before it was over J.J. came to me with his phone and showed me a picture that he had downloaded from the internet of us standing in the room that we were still shooting in. It was already on the Internet! That's actually what instigated the heightened security. The next day I showed up and we had floor-length vinyl jackets with hoods [to cover costumes] and golf carts that were completely enclosed in black tarp. That persisted through the entire shoot, even when we were on the lot at Paramount. People were worried about camera phones and digital cameras and it's understandable because there were a couple of times that a background actor or someone who was working on the crew would snap a couple of photos and they would inadvertently end up on the Internet, and that's just a headache for the legal departments. People think they want to know, but they don't want to know. It's going to ruin the experience for them.
TV Guide: I hear there's a storyline about the way Spock deals with being half-Vulcan/half-human...? Nimoy: We have dealt with aspects of that storyline before but never with quite the overview that this script has of the entire history of the character, the growth of the character, the beginnings of the character and the arrival of the character into the Enterprise crew. And there are wonderful people involved. Winona Ryder as Spock's mother is spectacular, Ben Cross as Spock's father is wonderful, and Zachary does great work as Spock. It's going to be a very exciting story overall.
TV Guide: Does it have more human interest aspects than the original TV series did? Are we digging deep into the characters? Quinto: That's another thing J.J. brings to the table and it's the way he re-imagined Mission Impossible III, by bringing in sides of the character you hadn't necessarily seen before. [Screenwriters] Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman have really embraced that idea. Leonard was searching for the word to describe how it's handled in this movie, the Vulcan/human interaction and the complexity of it. I thought there was a tremendous amount of grace that was used in that exploration, especially between [parents] Sarek and Amanda. They bring such a dignity to their perspectives, to their points of view of their characters.
TV Guide: Lastly, Zachary, a question about Heroes. The finale left a sense that Sylar would be featured heavily in the new season. Did you get that sense? Quinto: I really have no sense of what's happening with the show in terms of the creative direction they're going to take us in. I have a lot of excitement about going back to work and seeing my friends after such a long time, and getting back into a territory that's really familiar and comfortable — especially after coming out of an experience that was so epic and affected my life so deeply and in so many ways. I'm open to whatever they throw at me.

Extremly Important to Sci-Fi Fans The Future of 'Star Trek: The Experience' In Doubt
Since opening in early 1998, Star Trek The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton has been the
premiere live Star Trek attraction in the world. With its Trek-themed restaurant, museum, shops
and rides, it plays hosts to thousands of tourists and Trekkies every year. However, the current
contract is up and it looks like 2008 may be the last year for Star Trek The Experience.
The contract between CBS and Cedar Fair (current owners of The Experience) ends December 31st,
and a spokesperson for Cedar Fair tells TrekMovie "there are currently no plans to renew" it.
Talks are still ongoing and, although Cedar Fair is said to be happy with recent results from The
The Experience due to effective cost-reductions, the attendance has been in decline for years
(even after the introduction of the 'Borg Invasion 4D' ride in 2004). The only ray of hope right
now is that the new Star Trek feature film in 2009 may show promise of increased attendance. A
final decision on The Experience is expected by the end of May.
Another possible lifeline for The Experience could be for Cedar Fair to sell it to another
company and for there to be a new deal struck with CBS (and the Hilton). Cedar Fair took over The
Experience, when it purchased Paramount Parks from Viacom in 2006.
If Star Trek The Experience is to close, then the current contract calls for them to entirely
vacate their current location in the Hilton Hotel by December 31st, 2008. Since Cedar Fair will
need time to dismantle the attraction, TrekMovie is told The Experience would likely close to
visitors in September or October (if the contract isn't renewed). At that time, all the genuine
props and many of the replicas would be returned to CBS. It hasn't been decided what would be
done with the Star Trek related replicas owned by Cedar Fair, but it is possible they would be
auctioned off.
A closure of the Experience would also have an impact on the annual official Creation Star Trek
Convention, which has been held at the Las Vegas Hilton since the Experience opened there.
Creation CEO Gary Berman tells TrekMovie that they would continue to hold the convention in Vegas
(as they did for a decade before The Experience opened), but Creation would consider moving to a
different hotel. Berman would be interested in getting a location closer to 'the strip,' but
would want to ensure the new hotel offered fans prices as reasonable as those of the Hilton. If
you want to be sure to see The Experience one last time (or first time), this year's convention
may be a good choice.
So far CBS (the Star Trek license holder) has refused any comment regarding the future of Star
Trek The Experience. As the story develops TrekMovie will provide updates.

Great Rendition Of The Starship Enterprise
“Risk IS our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her.”
Harrison Ford Q&A - Indy Speaks!
Harrison Ford Q&A: Indy Speaks! The ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' star talks about fame, aging, and how he wanted to kill off Han Solo
Great movie stars are often underrated as actors because they make what they do look effortless. Case in point: Harrison Ford. In person, talking to EW about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he sounds nothing like his adventuresome character — or like anyone he's played onscreen. His voice is pitched much lower, and he's not emphatic in his delivery at all. There's not a trace of hurry in his cadences. It underscores the fact that every detail of what Ford does as Indy is a careful invention. The actor, now 65, is guarded, almost prickly, in speaking of his work; he seems to have a horror of being perceived as even remotely conceited (which he isn't). But he opened up about the tradeoffs of stardom, why making Indy movies remains a career high, and how his stubbornness regarding contracts paid off on the Star Wars films.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So you haven't seen the final cut of Crystal Skull yet. HARRISON FORD: After making the movie out of continuity, I really would be hard-pressed to sit you down and walk you through the entire plot. If somebody tortured me for information about it, I'd probably end up dying.
George Lucas says it's not the money that prompted him to revisit this franchise — he did it for love of these kinds of movies. Speak for yourself, George. [Laughs] Speak for yourself.
Sometimes when George talks about you, he sort of imitates you — or at least he uses a voice different than his normal voice. He has a Harrison? Has he? [Deadpan] I'll bet it's great. He's such a good actor. [More laughter]
You're deliberately letting Indy age in Crystal Skull. That never happens in, say, the James Bond films. They seem to replace the actor once he gets too old. Or too expensive.
Do you fit either of those categories? We'll see. That's one of the things I was most keen about. Just acknowledge the years between the last one and this one. Without reservation. Just acknowledge it. What's the big deal? The guy's 18, 20 years older. So what? I resisted some early efforts, for instance, to think about coloring my hair. I said, Uh, no.
What was the pro-hair-dye argument? To look better, in some sense. I don't think there was ever a resistance to acknowledging the character's age. It's just a question of whether some people thought I'd be a better-looking 65 if my hair was colored.
American culture is generally paranoid about aging. Well, I'm here to help. [Laughs] What would you like me to do?
By being in this movie with gray hair, you're doing it! A lot of people, when they hear about Crystal Skull, do a double take. Harrison Ford? Isn't he...um... Yeah, I've heard it. ''Aaaaw, he's older.'' Well s---, yes. And by the way? So are you. So...are...you! Take a look in the f---ing mirror!
But the public doesn't want to look in the mirror — they can't face their own mortality. And they don't especially like seeing their favorite movies stars get older, either. Well, what's really happening is that we're making movies for only one segment of the audience. We're making movies that are geared to youth culture. Movies that have to have a representative of that age group in the leading role. But this is a movie which is geared not to one segment of the demographic, an age-defined segment. It's interesting that while we've been off doing other things, a generation and a half of moviegoers have been introduced to [the Indiana Jones films] through the agency of their family. Fathers and mothers passing on this experience to their sons and daughters. It's pretty interesting that this is such a family event. We've got a great shot at breaking the movie demographic constraints.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Has Spielberg changed at all as a director? HARRISON FORD: Nothing else has ever been as much fun for me as working with him, because he's both very clear about what he wants and very collaborative about how we get there. It's not a free-for-all. It's very focused. That's the way I like to work, anyway.
Way back on the first movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven storyboarded a lot of stuff, partly to help the schedule. Does he still do that? Steven does something I've rarely seen. He'll walk onto a set he has not seen before. I mean he's seen sketches, he may even have seen a model. He may have thought about it a great deal. But he prefers to walk onto it sort of cold. And very quickly he'll sort out a way of staging the action, along with [cinematographer] Janusz [Kaminski]. His skills are so refined that he's not fearful about the process. It's a comfortable process. On a set, he's home. And so it's comfortable to be there with him.
George talks about how he only turned to you to play Indy after Tom Selleck fell out of Raiders — he was obligated to do Magnum P.I. instead. And Lucas has said a lot of factors went into your not being first choice. Among other things, there was concern the public wouldn't accept ''that Han Solo guy'' as a new character, and also an assumption that you'd never agree to making all the sequels, because you gave Lucas such a hard time about that on Star Wars. I didn't sign a contract for the Star Wars films [beyond the first one]. I refused to sign the sequel deal. Which is why we [Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and I] aren't all living on roots and berries in the jungle somewhere. Because we had a favored-nations clause, the three actors. Which meant that whatever one got paid, all got paid. But when Indiana Jones came along, after reading the first one, and knowing that they had an ambition to do more, I was willing. And I was in a better negotiating position than I had been on Star Wars, for sure. I thought that the character was interesting enough to be able to develop further. I didn't feel there was as much interest in the character of Han Solo.
Why? I did urge George to kill the character, because I thought that would be his best utility. To die, and give the story some resonance. I call it some bottom. He's got no mama, got no papa — out there all by himself. He's a piece you can move around, or get rid of. You don't need him for the rest of the story. That's what I thought. But I couldn't get George to go along with that. He didn't want to stop making the toys.
Well, why let a little thing like death stop that? You could have the Han Solo Funeral Playset. [Laughs] Yeah. Right. You could bury his little ass. Woulda been good. Woulda been a seller.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You've got a younger sidekick this time, played by Shia LaBeouf. His character, Mutt, is a ''greaser.'' Did he even know what a greaser was? HARRISON FORD: Shia's a very smart kid. He does his homework, does his research. Don't make the mistake of looking at Shia and thinking you're looking at an ordinary kid. One of the attractive aspects of him is that he's capable of behaving as, and portraying, an ordinary kid. And he doesn't have that gloss of ego that is so easily smelt and avoided. You want to step around it. It smells like dogs---, it is dogs---. He doesn't have that. I was really delighted to come to know him. Great to work with, for everybody. The whole cast is a remarkable bunch this time. Cate [Blanchett] is fantastic.
Shia says she was elusive on the set — that she didn't hang out much, and when she was around, she was mainly in character, as this Soviet agent, Irina Spalko. Which might have been a deliberate psych-out, since she's playing a villainess. Two weeks into the movie, I'd only seen her in costume. She showed up one morning [in plain clothes] 'cause she wasn't working till later in the day, and I said, ''Who's that? That's who? Oh, shit — really?'' There's no aspect of her behavior that was not consistent with this bizarre person she's playing. And Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent — great actors. Not that we haven't always had great actors.
How was it reuniting with Karen Allen, back as Marion Ravenwood? She's one of the easiest people to work with I've ever known. She's a completely self-sufficient woman, and that's part of the character she plays. A lot of her charm and the charm of the character is there. And again, it's not an age-dependent thing. It has to do with her spirit and her nature.
Denholm Elliott played Marcus Brody, a sort of artifact broker, in the first three movies. And of course he passed away in the '90s. Was it strange reuniting without him? Denholm sort of haunts the place. In a good way. So he's not missing from the film. He was an enormously generous spirit, and everyone really loved him. He was a good guy.
There was some talk Sean Connery might return to play Indy's dad, but he declined. You mean that old man? [Laughs]
What — you didn't want him back again? I said no, no no no. I'm old enough to play my own father in this one. Sean's only 12 years older than I am. [In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade] I had to play so much younger than I am in order to make it work for him. It was really a strain.
Lucas has said, Probably better that Connery not cameo in Crystal Skull. If Connery showed up, people would expect he'd be along for the entire story. And we couldn't afford that. [Laughs] I missed him, 'cause he was fun, he was a hoot. Great comic chops. But it's a different movie.
Everyone says you do as many or more stunts in Crystal Skull as you did in the earlier ones. I probably did, because of one development: They've learned how to ''safety'' us with [guide wires] in a way that we didn't do before. It's a simple matter now to remove the wire [with digital CG doctoring]. That meant it was safe to do a number of things that probably wouldn't have been as safe 15, 20 years ago.
Why not let a stunt guy do it and just have them paste your face on digitally? I like doing stunts. There's a degree of honesty when it comes down to physical work, that I enjoy. Gotta dig a ditch from here to there, and you gotta beat up five guys to get there. I love physical storytelling, too. I like all the little beats and moments in the middle of a physical confrontation. And I like hanging out with the stunt guys, and rolling around on the floor with sweaty men.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: By all accounts, security and secrecy on the Crystal Skull set was a really big deal, because Steven is so leery about giving away plot points. HARRISON FORD: I wasn't the strictest adherent. I would have a representative of Lucasfilm dogging me on the backlot at Universal, asking me not to wear my hat when I went from stage to trailer. [He mimes a cranky expression] Get outta here!
Have you noticed that thanks to the Internet, news of location shooting spreads fast now, which brings out all the fans with cameras — and paparazzi, too? I do notice that cell-phone cameras are everywhere, all the time. I'm more or less inured to it at this point. I wasn't so worried that an image [getting out] would destroy the potency of it all. [But] it's probably wise of Steven and George to be so secretive. They did make images and little Internet [videos] available, at regular times during the progress of the filming. I think they own the right to publicize the film in their terms, in a context that they think is favorable and correct.
Is it difficult trying to work on location with so many gawkers? That's what you get paid for. Who gives a s---? Look, I read the contract when I sold my soul. You give up a right to privacy. You give it up begrudgingly, and you don't have to give it up every step of the way, and you don't have to inconvenience yourself. But for God's sake, you know that's the deal.
But hasn't the level of scrutiny gotten much worse for actors? There was no such thing as that kind of intrusive invasion of your personal life when I started. I just wanted to make a living as an actor. But still, I knew at a certain point that I had lost my anonymity. Your face is up there 30 feet high and 50 feet wide, and after five, six years of that, you've lost it. You do not have that anonymity any more. It's a tremendous loss. It changes your life. But I'm over it. I understand, and let's get on with it.... It's a pain in the ass, to be frank. It's a royal pain in the ass. Part of what's annoying about it is that [your life] has become somebody else's business. It's not just that you're interesting. Because you're not. They have to give it context to make it interesting, and the context that they give it is often not correct, or appropriate, or useful to you. And they own that. You don't own that. And that's kind of bizarre.
Is it tougher for younger actors to protect themselves from overexposure? I just think it's the speed of promulgation [that's changed], and the fact that it moves so quick. The shelf life is so short that it's gotta be replaced by some new bulls--- every minute. I always said about myself that I didn't want to be fashionable. I didn't want to be the most famous, the highest paid, the any of that. Because that's temporary. There's always gotta be somebody newer. You can use up people's interest in you very, very quickly.
The world has changed a lot since the '80s. What does Indy mean to overseas audiences now, with the U.S. not nearly so admired any more? I don't think about my character in a movie that way. The character exists in the context of the film. It doesn't exist outside of that. He's there for the purpose of illuminating and illustrating the ideas of the film, for giving flesh to a notion, and to be the emotional representation of the audience on the screen. I don't have an academic point of view about what it is I'm doing. I have only the craft experience. The rest of it's for other people to do.

Iron Man (2008)
“Heroes arn't Born. Their Built!!”
Director: Jon Favreau
Synopsis
The latest Marvel comic book to receive a big screen adaptation, this one stars Robert Downey Jr. as the titular tycoon-cum-superhero.
Movie review
Playboy weapons magnate Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) is a greased amalgam of Howard Hughes, Hugh Hefner and C-3PO, complete with an enviable battery of glib banter and a goatee you could set your watch by. On a routine sales trip to the Middle East, his Humvee is ambushed by a terrorist cell and he is dragged away to a cave, where he is forced to reproduce one of his high-powered missiles with some scrap metal and a soldering iron.
Instead, Stark uses those materials to construct a suit of robotic body armour and flee from the extremists' clutches. This channels his epiphany – perhaps long overdue – that profiteering from weapons is far from the Promethean zenith of overarching compassion he once thought it was. He returns a changed man and, with the help of his svelte assistant 'Pepper' (Gwyneth Paltrow) and best mate Jim Rhodes (Terrence Howard), builds a shiny suit of armour with which he plans to put an end to warfare for good.
All this liberal hand-wringing comes much to the chagrin of the sinisterly named Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), Stark's devious benefactor, who doesn't shine to his peacenik jabbering one bit. Stane sports both a bald pate and a beard, a red flag combination in comic-book land if ever there was one.
Actor-turned-director Jon Favreau has proved with his past directorial efforts, including buddy comedy 'Made', Christmas film 'Elf' and kids' fantasy 'Zathura', that he has a keen eye for character and can spin a decent yarn. Sadly, these two qualities are rarely apparent here, replaced instead by quick-fix one-liners and predictable set-piece gags. Like Iron Man's suit, Favreau's film feels like it has been meticulously assembled rather than lovingly formed. It's little more than an elongated, episodic and sporadically charming introduction to the life of this mechanised millionaire superhero, light on both CGI and moral quandaries, and possessing neither the zip and sparkle of a 'Spider-Man' nor the brooding existential subtexts of 'Batman Begins'.

Meet the new Knight Rider Stars
“One Man Can Make A Difference!”
Remember "Knight Rider," the classic 1980s show starring David Hasselhoff (as Michael Knight) and the talking car KITT?
Well, it's back in an updated fashion in a new movie, Knight Rider, which premieres Sunday, February 17, on NBC at 9/8c.
The new Knight Rider star, Justin Bruening, stopped by for a quick chat with Matt, Natalie, Al and Hoda this morning. WATCH VIDEO
Before he appeared on the show, Justin and I discussed how his life changed at a McDonald's, what to do when you're bored in Nebraska, and who's cooler: Hugh Hefner or David Hasselhoff.
Here's our conversation:
DF: First of all...I read that you were "discovered" at a McDonald's. Is that true? How does that happen?
Justin Bruening: Technically speaking, yes, I was. I was in Escondido, California. I actually worked at Blockbuster Video. I was on my way to work at about 6 in the morning. It was the night after my birthday, and there was a modeling agent in the McDonald's. Her car happened to break down so she just happened to be in there.
I was hung over and waiting for my breakfast burrito, sausage-egg McMuffin, and 50 other things I ordered. She approached me, tried to talk me into modeling. I was apprehensive at first, I didn't really want to do that. But she told me it was the best way to break into acting, which I did want to do, so I signed up.
DF: Did you think she was serious when she first approached you?
JB: No, I thought she was crazy. I thought she was stalking me, and I was trying to avoid her because I saw her staring at me across the room.
DF: So what got you to take the first step towards modeling and eventually acting?
JB: I say that acting sort of found me. It's something that I always wanted to do, ever since I was a kid. I grew up in a very small town in Nebraska, so that was kind of a pipe dream. So I decided to move to California after college, take a year off, and decide what I wanted to do.
Literally, I'm at a McDonald's, and a modeling scout found me. I had been approached before and had turned it down. But she was the only one who had mentioned the acting side of it. She said it was the best way to transition [to acting]. I met a lot of good friends...Bruce Weber was the first photographer I shot with, and he introduced me to a lot of people in this business.
DF: So you end up on "All My Children" for four years. What's the best part about being on a soap?
JB: The best part about being on a soap -- my wife's over here waving at me -- [to her] it was a general question, it wasn't about meeting my future wife on the show--
DF: Still, I think the right answer is, "Meeting my wife."
Alexa Havins: Day after Valentine's Day!
JB: Valentine's Day is over, honey. The romance is gone. No, every day with you is Valentine's Day...I'm so cheesy! Um, but besides meeting your future wife, the best thing about "All My Children" is it's consistent work.
It's a great training ground to learn being in front of the camera, blocking, finding your lights, things like that. Memorizing 50 billion lines a week and having that skill to memorize things fast. That's a great stepping-stone to doing what you want to do later, or if that's what you really enjoy, continuing.
DF: And the worst part about it?
JB: The worst part about it is having to memorize 50 billion lines a week, and basically everything I just said.
DF: Kind of a double-edged sword.
JB: Yeah, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. It's great training, but it's also really hard. I have so much respect for the people who have done it for 20 years. The guy who played my father on "All My Children," Michael Knight is his real name (which is a creepy coincidence), is my best friend on the show -- minus my wife. He's been there for 20-25 years, and I have complete respect for him, because he finds a way to make it interesting every single day, which is such a hard thing to do.
DF: Did you and your wife do anything special for Valentine's Day?
JB: We went to dinner up by where we used to live here in New York. Went to a place called Cafe Frida. Had a couple margaritas, had some wine, made some bad decisions, it was cool.
DF: You said you're from a small town in Nebraska...something like 85 people.
JB: Yeah, it's a village.
DF: So what do you do for fun in such a small town?
JB: Drive around a lot. As a kid, you kind of find inventive ways to get in trouble. A lot of outdoor stuff. We played baseball in the summer. Anything that has a motor on it, we'd drive around and tear up the dirt roads. Light things on fire.
DF: With only nine kids in your high school graduating class...did your school have a football team?
JB: Our class was just freakishly small. The other classes had about 35 kids. When I was in kindergarten there were three kids in my class, so it was just my age group. I don't think we ever got above 10 kids.
But yeah, they all become like your family. You see them every day, and it's such a small town, you end up going to kindergarten through 12th grade with them. They become your brothers and sisters, and I still have my two best friends, so it's fun.
DF: I know you were at the Playboy Mansion the other night for the Knight Rider gale premiere. How was that?
JB: I had never been there before, so it was definitely an experience. At the same time, it was a work event, so we kept it very professional...minus the girls with the sprayed-on shirts, which was odd. I have a picture in my phone which my wife made me take. But it was a lot of fun. I got to meet Hugh Hefner, and I hadn't seen our cast from Knight Rider in a while, so it's fun to see them outside of work.
DF: So who's cooler...Hef or the Hoff?
JB: I was sandwiched between them that night. The Hoff on one side, Hef on the other. I don't know...that's a tough call. They're pretty similar. They're both pimps, man, they're both great. If I had to go with one, I guess I'd have to go with the Hoff. He is my predecessor. He's the epitome of cool.
DF: Any special plans for Sunday night when Knight Rider premieres?
JB: The cast and everyone involved in the production is getting together in California. We all became pretty good friends, we're all about the same age, all about 28, so we're in the same place in our lives. We'll watch it and turn on every TV that we have to it so the ratings are nice and high.
We rented out a room in a bar in L.A. We'll watch it on the big screen, and I'll be all embarrassed and hiding out.
DF: Do you not like watching yourself?
JB: I don't. From an acting standpoint, I get very critical of myself. I'm kind of a perfectionist. I'll see one thing that I don't like, and it will ruin the entire thing for me. I've gotten better about that, but I still prefer not to watch.
But it's Knight Rider, so it's probably the coolest show on television, so I'm conflicted. Part of me thinks I shouldn't have gotten the job so I could just watch it. But no, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
DF: Last thing...what music are you listening to lately?
JB: The new Jack Johnson. Sleep Through the Static. That's how I get my day going. I mix it up with some AC/DC, throw in some Korn in case I have to wake up. Jack Johnson is a bit of a lullaby, helps you ease into things.

Speed Racer Preview
“Go Speedracer Go!”
Ben Walters marvels at the visual magic of 'Speed Racer', the kinetic new film from 'The Matrix' directors Nestled among the bright colours and fast manoeuvres of the upcoming 'Speed Racer' are some photos of a zebra, glimpsed in the background of a virtual racetrack at which souped-up cars do eye-popping battle. Easily missed, these images of the black-and-whitest of animals are described by the directors, Andy and Larry Wachowski, as a tribute to Eadweard Muybridge, the nineteenth-century photographer known for his split-second sequences showing how animals' bodies move. What would the makers of the 'Matrix' films and this supercharged anime adaptation have to thank a figure like Muybridge for? The answer harks back to the birth of cinema and might hold the key to its future: simple fascination with objects in motion.
'Speed Racer' is a big-screen version of a 1960s Japanese animated series. Like the cartoon, the movie features the Racer family – and a story involving family pride and competitive achievement. There is a plot of sorts, but if the filmmakers expect us to keep up with the minutiae of its corporate skulduggery, or to put much emotional stock in the characters, they're kidding themselves. They probably don't.
'Speed Racer' is less about thinking than feeling. The Wachowkis' first film since the 'Matrix' trilogy is less interested in narrative or psychological engagement than in delivering the thrill of colour and movement – the movement of cars, to be precise, which here take on the aerobatic qualities of skateboards or snowboards, and meet in 400mph mid-air clashes as intricate and impossible as anything in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. (The Wachowskis call these grapples 'car fu'.) 'Racing,' says Speed, played by Emile Hirsch, is 'like a religion' for his family and the picture is, in its way, a transcendental experience. The climactic race dissolves into an ecstatic, expressionistic kaleidoscope that feels less like 'Days of Thunder' and more like the 'stargate' sequence of '2001', and leaves our hero panting in his cockpit in post-orgasmic exhaustion.
Racing has never been filmed like this – and, of course, it hasn't been filmed like this for 'Speed Racer'. The film inhabits a virtual world, a computer-generated environment in which the image roams free from the rules of conventional photography. Multiple planes of vision remain in crisp focus. Long, single shots swoop from stadium overviews into the cockpits of one car after another. Such control over three-dimensional space is an extrapolation of the 'bullet time' effect developed for 'The Matrix', an effect expanded for the 'Matrix' sequels' car chases and echoed in neo-hot-rod films like 'The Fast and the Furious'. But the effect is also directly descended from Muybridge's photographs: freezing their subjects in motion and mid-air.
In the first wave of CGI – roughly from 'Terminator 2' to 'The Lord of the Rings' cycle – filmmakers created virtual objects with real-world credibility. It seemed that if you were standing on the set of 'Jurassic Park', say, you'd see those raptors yourself. They were pseudo-photographic. But now, movies present fantasy worlds where light and physicality work on terms different to our own. We could never stand on the set of films such as 'Sin City' or '300'; the unnatural, pop-pastel, neo-neon palette of 'Speed Racer' offers not just rainbow-like explosions but amazingly garish lawns.
Predicated on virtual exoticism rather than imitation of the real, these films are post-photographic. This is cinema after the camera. But its shifts are not just technological. It is a spectacular form for a spectacular age, one that privileges a rich environment and episodic, mythic storytelling. It is a comic-book look with a video-game feel, and little interest in attributes we commonly associate with quality cinema: sustained narrative, plausible characters, sophisticated dialogue.
Accordingly, these films don't get no respect. Certainly, a failed mythic story runs a high risk of camp, especially if, as in '300' or 'Beowulf', your wardrobe consists of capes and codpieces. But there is an argument to be made that visceral sensation and audio-visual immersion are more cinematic than character or plot; that those 'quality' attributes associated with filmmaking should be left to novels. The earliest motion pictures inspired more awe than sympathy. We might find the medium's uniqueness where it overwhelms us.
I'm playing devil's advocate a little – I won't be boycotting narrative cinema any time soon – but there is a practical side to all this. At a time when film's commercial fortunes are uncertain, these movies offer a model of cinema that robustly answers the challenge of home entertainment. It's no coincidence that such pictures do well when screened in the Imax format; or that concert films are proving a good match with Imax too; or that a major renaissance in 3D filmmaking will begin later this year. Post-photographic, post-narrative pictures play by different rules, but their rules might prove better suited to modern cultural and economic imperatives. Their pleasures might be superficial but that is not the same as trivial, and as the costs of technology fall there's no telling what more provocative minds might do with such an approach.
'Speed Racer' opens on May 9, with a simultaneous release at Imax cinemas.

The New Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk IS Edward Norton!
“The Incredible Hulk!”
I am stunned, I didn't see this coming from a mile away. That Ang Lee directed Hulk movie that came out in 2003 is going to be lost forever when we finally are hit with The Incredible Hulk coming out in the summer of 2008 now that Edward Norton has been cast as Bruce Banner also known as The Hulk! The news officially comes from Ain't It Cool News, and now confirmed by Variety today. I'm still a bit stunned by this, but if anything it reaffirms my belief that this may be the Hulk movie we all wanted and weren't given back in 2003.
This new Incredible Hulk is being directed by Louis Leterrier this time, the same guy who directed Transporter 1 and 2. As mentioned previously, they're looking at it as a complete remake and do-over than a sequel by any means. Out of everyone I thought that could play the role, I didn't even consider Edward Norton to be one of them. I think he can do it though, but we have yet to see. The Incredible Hulk is currently set for a June 13th, 2008 release.

Word from The Hollywood Reporter is that New Zealand actor Karl Urban has joined the cast of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek re-start.

Captain Kirk (previously William Shatner) -- Chris Pine (27 years old)

The New James T. Kirk, Chris Pine
We have received word that Chris Pine has been confirmed to play the role of James T. Kirk in the new "Star Trek" movie directed by J.J. Abrams.
As previously reported, Pine had been in talks for the coveted iconic role, but had a potential scheduling conflict. Today's confirmation ends speculation on whether the actor would choose "Star Trek" over another film he was offered called "White Jazz," to be directed by Joe Carnahan and starring George Clooney. Carnahan's own blog dropped strong hints that Pine chose "Trek" over his film, but the details of his signing on to the Trek movie have not been finalized until now.
The 27-year-old Pine is one of Hollywood's hottest young actors right now, gaining prominent attention as Lindsay Lohan's love interest in "Just My Luck" and as a neo-Nazi assassin in Carnahan's "Smokin' Aces." His father, Robert Pine, has played a couple of roles in Star Trek (Liria and Tavin) and performed with Michael Dorn on CHiPs.

Will Smith Stars as Alcoholic Superhero "Hancock"
I'm a huge fan of sci-fi/fantasy books and all around cinemaphile; since alcoholic superheroes are relatively rare (damsels in distress cheer) I jumped at the chance to share the trailer. I really didn't expect to be posting a video for another upcoming movie anytime soon that would be relevant to the site…and that I actually wanted to watch. Much to my surprise I was informed by a passenger today on my flight to the home office that a movie slated for summer 2008 not only fit the bill, but has Will Smith playing the lead role. I was little leery about the info thinking I would surely heard of this before now, but I was pleasantly suprised to see that not only was the guy right but that there was a trailer I could share.
I'm a big fan of Mr. Smith, in fact I just saw his latest film I am Legend this weekend and as with most of his films I can give it two thumbs up. In the upcoming movie Hancock Smith plays a superhero who just so hapeens to be a poorly dressed, homeless alcoholic.
There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility – everyone knows that – everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough – as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy
