Nov 06 | J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode of "Undercovers," his Warner Bros. secret agent pilot at NBC. Schedule permitting, Abrams, who also serves as executive producer and co-writer for the pilot, will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" two-part opener, which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time and helped launch Abrams' career into helming such theatrical films as "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Star Trek." The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

Journalist Peter Hossli sent to TrekWeb excerpts of a yet to be published interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy. Here is the excerpts of the interview regarding Star Trek. Thanks to Mr. Hossli. Please visit his website at Hossli.com
Let´s talk about "Star Trek".
Nimoy: Why? Is this really necessary?
Currently you´re preparing another "Star Trek" movie. You play Spock as an old man. What kind of ailments does he have?
Nimoy: [laughs, then picks up a photograph] whenever you go to Rome next time you need to visit Villa Borghese. You´ll find Canova´s Paulina sculpture. It´s simply gorgeous. Yes, I´m in the new "Star Trek" movie. Let´s leave it at that.
"Star Trek" still has tremendous culture resonance. How has its impact changed over the years?
Nimoy: I haven´t paid much to what´s been happening to "Star Trek". I´ve been out of it since 1989, almost 20 years. Now were going into a project that in its own way is going to be a very important project if it works. It will revitalize the entire "Star Trek" franchise. It will be a very big, very expensive movie, much more expansive than any of the movies I was involved with. I directed two "Star Trek" films, the last one I directed, the budget was about 27 million dollar. With this one, the budget will be about 150 million dollars.

Money doesnt add up to a great flick. Dont know budgets, but ST:TMP had some pretty cutting edge effects for '79 and it was mostly a bore. Like one reviewer said, "all hardware and no heart." Hope this next flick isnt the same.

GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!.... You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! -- William Shatner on Saturday Night Live (1986)
