According to Variety, Mel Harris, the exec who was an innovator in firstrun syndication and the homevideo biz during his 25-year run in the top ranks at Paramount and Sony Pictures Entertainment, died of cancer Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 65. Harris was known as a champion of new technologies and new markets in a biz that has often been slow to embrace change. He helped modernize the firstrun syndie biz by harnessing satellite distribution to deliver "Entertainment Tonight" to affiliates on a timely basis, and he spearheaded the studio's 1987 revival of Star Trek in the form of The Next Generation, a high-end syndie production.

Hollywoodoutbreak blog posted an audio interview with Star Trek movie producer and director J.J. Abrams. Here is a transcript of the interview, courtesy of Sci Fi Pulse.
"Right not we have a cut of the movie which has about 12% of the visual FX near done - but the movie is working and that's what seems exciting to me." Abrams said "What's amazing about the movie is the people are awesome. The characters are alive and they're great and you love them. Alex [Kurtzman] and Bob [Orci] wrote an amazing script and our amazing actors make it more amazing. It is really like... you know the fun of watching Zachary Quinto take on a role like Spock which is an incredibly deceptively complicated part. When you see the whole performance - there were things he was doing that I didn't even see or realise he was doing when we were making the movie - and to have Chris Pine come in and embrace this role of Kirk in a way that is so complete and emotional and funny and cocky and yet vulnerable. It's a wonderful thing. That to me is where I think the best news is. You need that to tell this story and it works. I think it is a testament to this movie."

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
