Star Trek nod in Absolute Justice...
Goyer and Jonah Nolan Writing Next BATMAN Movie?
Feb 08 | While his "Lost" co-stars prepare to pack up and leave Hawaii, Daniel Dae Kim can plan to remain there for at least a few more months. Mr. Kim, who plays the time-traveling tough guy Jin on "Lost," has been the first actor cast in a coming remake of the crime drama "Hawaii Five-O," The Hollywood Reporter said. He has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly, a detective played by Kam Fong in the original series, which began in 1968. The "Hawaii Five-O" revival is being developed by the screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Star Trek," "Fringe") and Peter Lenkov, an executive producer of "CSI: NY."
Feb 03 | William Shatner has paid tribute to his former Boston Legal co-star Justin Mentell, who died in a freak car accident on Monday. The 27 year old was thrown from his Jeep after swerving off the road near Madison, Wisconsin and died at the scene of the tragic crash. The Star Trek legend was saddened to hear of Mentell's passing - as he's convinced the actor was destined for a glittering career. In a post on his Twitter.com page, Shatner writes, "I'm deeply saddened to hear about Justin Mentell. There's no telling how far up the ladder he may have climbed. My sympathies to his family."

Trekkies who've been marooned on a tropical island might not know that Daniel Dae Kim appeared in two Star Trek TV series before becoming beached on Lost. Kim is Gotana-Retz in Voyager "Blink of an Eye," and he's MACO Corporal Chang in several episodes of Enterprise.
IGN corralled Kim and Lost co-star Jorge Garcia at a Comic-Con press interview, where their J.J. Abrams connection and Trek enthusiasm led to some franchise crosstalk...
IGN: There are people who lined up here to see you at 7:00 am. Would you have ever done that for a television show or for anything?
DDK: I know that for me, I saw all three Lord of the Rings movies on opening day, and I never see movies on opening day, because I'm not a big fan of crowds. So that was a pretty big deal. And I think that I've seen almost every episode of Star Trek, the original series, at least three or four times.
IGN: Daniel, as a big Star Trek fan, with J.J. working on the new Star Trek movie, are you going to hit him up for a part?
DDK: No, but I've already given him advice; I gave one of the producers some friendly advice, but that's about it.
JG: Oh, like, "Don't blow it!"?
DDK: No, what I said to him was "You gotta make sure the ships are cool." Because to me, that's what it was all about. I used to have models of the Enterprise, I used to make models of the Enterprise, so I said to make sure, if you're going to do all those kind of effects, make sure the Enterprise doesn't look like it's made of paper mache. You know, when it explodes, and stuff like that.
IGN: Would you want to be a part of it?
DDK: Yeah! I mean, any kind of decent project, especially something that I've been a fan of, I would love to be a part of. But you know, my first obligation is to Lost. And I think if you want to dance, you gotta get asked.
IGN: Greg Grunberg says he wants to be a Klingon. (story)
DDK: That's a cool thing.
