Watch This: 'Star Trek' Meets 'Beverly Hills 90210'

Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Fandom », Trailers and Clips »



The latest Star Trek trailer has only been floating around for a few days online (24 hours for the official version), and it sure didn't take long to find a spoof-ish video up on YouTube. The production qualities aren't very strong, but I couldn't help and chuckle throughout this new (and improved?) trailer that uses the theme song from Beverly Hills 90210 against re-edited footage from Star Trek. The result? A group of hot young guys and gals from the future who like to play with big weapons and sexy lingerie. Yowsers!

They do make a point to stop and run the bit where Uhura takes off her shirt over and over again alongside the exclamation: "Boobs in Star Trek" -- and I can't figure out whether that's a bad thing. Is it a bad thing? Or are some Trekkers so withdrawn from sexual activity that it scares them to see partial nudity tossed around the Enterprise. I don't get it. Didn't Kirk have sex all the time back in the day with a number of different females? Why are fans so outraged at the thought of a little kinky foreplay in this version of Star Trek? These kids are young, strong, hot and all cooped up on this ship in outer space -- what else do you expect them to do? Make fun of Chekov's accent?

Where was I? Oh yeah ... check out the video below.

Bond Girl Rumor #456: The chick from Species?

Filed under: Casting », Sony », James Bond », Remakes and Sequels »

You know what this whole "whose gonna be the next Bond Girl" runaround feels like to me? It's like when Beverly Hills, 90210 kept going into its tenth season – long after the departures of Jason Priestley, and Shannon Doherty, and the actors who played the parents, and the broad from Saved by the Bell they had hired after Shannon Doherty left (yes, all of that happened, and yes, the episodes are currently on SoapNET, if you need impirical proof.)

But just in case you're still paying attention, it's my duty to inform you that the producers of Casino Royale have narrowed the supporting actress competition down to four candidates. Based on this Variety report, I'm not sure whether or not Rachael Stirling, sometime pretend lesbian and daughter of Diana Rigg, is actually one corner of the lucky quadrangle, as Martha previously reported. But another quasi-familiar name is floating around: Natasha Henstridge, known to South Park fans as The Chick from Species. But isn't an actress whose standing could be described as C-list at best sort of an unlikely candidate for such a high profile role? Nah. The trade reiterates what we've been saying for ages: no one wants to play Vesper Lynd, because no one wants to slum it in a franchise film if they can't be the bottom-line star. Oh, and the old Halle Berry Curse probably doesn't help.
