Hooker" />With the success of the <em>Star Trek </em>movie, it's no surprise that someone is trying to make a movie out of one of Shatner's other major television roles. <em>T.J. Hooker</em> is being <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118005660.html?categoryid=14&amp;cs=1&amp;ref=bd_tv">adapted for the big screen</a>.<br /><br />Who could they get to fill his massive shoes for this one? The movie is intended as an action comedy, so I don't see Chris Pine as the lead. Perhaps Jack Black?<br /><br />I never really watched the show, but I do recall the funny sketch from <em>SNL</em> when Shatner was a guest host. Hooker jumped on a car hood and was stuck there while the car continued to drive for a few states.<br /><br />It would be kind of typical to not have a cameo by Shatner in the remake. After all, he didn't appear in the <em>Star Trek</em> movie.<br /><br />I'm sure Hollywood is not done mining Shatner's legacy for the movie adaptation game. Next up, <em>Boston Legal</em> the movie.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/06/t-j-hooker-the-movie/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19087520/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/06/t-j-hooker-the-movie/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adaptation</category><category>movie</category><category>T.J.

Well, according to an interview with series star Kristen Bell, <a href="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/07/ask-ausiello-spoilers-on-lost-house-24-and-more.html">it ain't happening</a>. She and series creator Rob Thomas pitched the idea to Joel Silver and there was a resounding lack of interest. She suggested that fans try a letter-writing campaign.<br /><br />I'm kind of surprised at that reaction, given that <em>Veronica Mars</em> is a recognizable brand name and would be relatively cheap to make (it's not exactly laden with special effects). While I considered the series to be a <em>Buffy</em> clone (that solved mysteries rather than fought vampires), it was a pretty good show in the beginning.<br /><br />The only show I can think of that quickly went from TV to cancellation to a movie would be <em>Firefly</em> and that happened because of stellar DVD sales. So, if you really want that <em>Veronica Mars</em> movie, along with the letter-writing campaign, start buying more DVDs of the show.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/04/so-much-for-that-veronica-mars-movie/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19086627/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/04/so-much-for-that-veronica-mars-movie/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Kristen Bell</category><category>KristenBell</category><category>movie</category><category>Veronica Mars</category><category>VeronicaMars</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2009 11:09:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Johnny Depp would love to appear in the 21 Jump Street movie</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/24/johnny-depp-would-love-to-appear-in-the-21-jump-street-movie/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/24/johnny-depp-would-love-to-appear-in-the-21-jump-street-movie/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/24/johnny-depp-would-love-to-appear-in-the-21-jump-street-movie/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="193" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="21 Jump St." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/04/21jumpstreetcast.jpg" />The first bit of news is that there's actually going to be <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1614506/20090623/story.jhtml">a <em>21 Jump Street</em> movie</a>. Jonah Hill is writing a big-screen adaptation of the 80s FOX drama where young-looking cops go undercover to bust bad guys. He wrote a cameo scene for Depp, and Depp thinks such a cameo would be "hilarious." Depp wouldn't be playing his 21 Jump Street character, he'll actually play Jack Sparrow, his character from <em>Pirates of the Caribbean</em>. That's the weird twist to the cameo.<br /><br />Well, no. Though Hill hasn't said what role Depp would play. I can only assume that he'll be playing the same part as he did years ago, though who knows. He could be playing Johnny Depp playing Tom Hanson, one of those meta "TV-show-within-a-movie" things. Hill does say that the show's theme song will be in the movie.<br /><br />If you forgot what that theme song sounded like, take a listen after the jump.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/24/johnny-depp-would-love-to-appear-in-the-21-jump-street-movie/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Johnny Depp would love to appear in the 21 Jump Street movie</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/24/johnny-depp-would-love-to-appear-in-the-21-jump-street-movie/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19077020/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/24/johnny-depp-would-love-to-appear-in-the-21-jump-street-movie/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>21 jump street</category><category>big screen adaptation</category><category>cameo</category><category>fox</category><category>johnny depp</category><category>jonah hill</category><category>tom hanson</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Is there hope for a new Star Trek TV show?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/15/is-there-hope-for-a-new-star-trek-tv-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/15/is-there-hope-for-a-new-star-trek-tv-show/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/15/is-there-hope-for-a-new-star-trek-tv-show/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/star-trek-original-series/" rel="tag">Star Trek: Original Series</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="217" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/treklogo2002.jpg" alt="star trek bryan fuller logo" />...

Abrams' new <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek</span> movie.<br /><br />Fuller said a new <span style="font-style: italic;">Trek</span> series shouldn't focus on the Enterprise crew - he thinks the Federation flagship should stick to the big screen - but on a new ship with a new crew and "an entirely new adventure."<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/15/is-there-hope-for-a-new-star-trek-tv-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Is there hope for a new Star Trek TV show?</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/15/is-there-hope-for-a-new-star-trek-tv-show/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19067594/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/15/is-there-hope-for-a-new-star-trek-tv-show/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bryan fuller</category><category>BryanFuller</category><category>heroes</category><category>j.j. abrams</category><category>J.j.Abrams</category><category>pushing daisies</category><category>PushingDaisies</category><category>spock</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek: voyager</category><category>StarTrek</category><category>StarTrek:Voyager</category><dc:creator>Mike Moody</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Jack Black not trekking to play TV's Harry Mudd</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/10/jack-black-not-trekking-to-play-tvs-harry-mudd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/10/jack-black-not-trekking-to-play-tvs-harry-mudd/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/10/jack-black-not-trekking-to-play-tvs-harry-mudd/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/star-trek-original-series/" rel="tag">Star Trek: Original Series</a></p><img hspace="4" height="203" border="0" align="right" width="250" vspace="4" alt="Harry Mudd won't return in the form of Jack Black in Star Trek." id="img1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/320x240.jpg" />Rumors that Jack Black was headed to the next <em>Star Trek</em> movie as stellar con man Harry Mudd were dismissed by director J.J. Abrams Tuesday.<br /><br />Harcourt Fenton Mudd was originally played by Roger C. Carmel (right) in <em>Trek</em>'s 1960s series.

Not since the talk of adapting <em>Hello, Larry</em> has a rumor caused such an enthusiastic uproar.<br /><br />The original show featured a widowed father (Bob Saget) who turns to a wacky friend (Dave Coulier) and his brother-in-law (John Stamos) to help raise his three daughters after his late wife was killed by a drunk driver. Yes, that was the set-up for one of the lightest of lightweight comedies.<br /><br />According to Moviefone, Stamos says he's putting together a project that would <a href="http://www.moviefone.com/insidemovies/2009/06/08/full-house-movie-casting/">not include the original <em>Full House</em> cast</a>. That would save us all from watching a 90 minute exploration of how two sickly sweet, perky Olson twins became desperately thin, tragic drug addicts.

To begin, the title is misleading. Most of the examples they use rose to fame as something else before they were even shown on television. And once shown, they weren't necessarily on Saturday mornings.<br /><br /><em>Popeye</em> started as a comic strip and then cartoon shorts shown at theaters. <em>The Addams Family</em> started as a comic strip in <em>The New Yorker</em> then a somewhat unique sitcom.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/06/saturday-morning-tv-series-that-inspired-movies/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Saturday morning TV series that inspired movies</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/06/saturday-morning-tv-series-that-inspired-movies/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19059630/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/06/saturday-morning-tv-series-that-inspired-movies/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>land of the lost</category><category>LandOfTheLost</category><category>popeye</category><category>saturday morning cartoons</category><category>SaturdayMorningCartoons</category><category>teenage mutant ninja turtles</category><category>TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles</category><category>the addams family</category><category>the flintstones</category><category>The Transformers</category><category>TheAddamsFamily</category><category>TheFlintstones</category><category>TheTransformers</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Marshall, Will, and Holly ... on a routine expedition</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/marshall-will-and-holly-on-a-routine-expedition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/marshall-will-and-holly-on-a-routine-expedition/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/marshall-will-and-holly-on-a-routine-expedition/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/children/" rel="tag">Children</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p>The new <a href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/land-of-the-lost/31560/main"><em>Land of the Lost</em> movie</a> opens today, so I thought it would be appropirate to show the opening to the 70s kids show that inspired the film.

Like remember when you were a kid and you heard you were going to Disney World but first you would have to drop off your sick puppy at the vet for a little nap? <br /><br />That's the feeling my gut got when <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/03/chiklis-hints-at-return-of-vic-mackey-the-shield-on-big-screen/">series creator Shawn Ryan</a> said <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/chiklis-hints-at-return-of-vic-mackey-the-shield-on-big-screen/">Fox might make a <em>Shield</em> movie</a> if demand called for it. <br /><br />The question actually sparked an interesting and light-hearted war of friendly curses between the cast and <span style="font-style: italic;">Sons of Anarchy</span> star Ron Perlman who was also on the dais to grub for Emmy nods. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Walter</span> Walton Goggins, the actor who brilliantly played the daft and overly cocky Shane Vendrell, uttered "That is bull#*$&amp;!" since his character killed his family and then shot himself in the final episode just as the Barn closed in on him. That's not a direct quote, by the way.

He linked to an <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=89966285747&amp;h=5siXC&amp;u=ovQo_&amp;ref=mf">E! article on the possible film</a> no less than three times.<br /><br />The problem is it's difficult to find any other media coverage on the possibility of <span style="font-style: italic;">The Shield</span> heading to theaters. In fact, Chiklis' favorite article above is pretty much it. So, is Chiklis leaking something producers would just as soon keep quiet for now?<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/chiklis-hints-at-return-of-vic-mackey-the-shield-on-big-screen/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Chiklis hints at return of Vic Mackey and The Shield on big screen</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/chiklis-hints-at-return-of-vic-mackey-the-shield-on-big-screen/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19056933/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/05/chiklis-hints-at-return-of-vic-mackey-the-shield-on-big-screen/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>chiklis</category><category>fx</category><category>michael chiklis</category><category>MichaelChiklis</category><category>movie</category><category>movies</category><category>the shield</category><category>the shield movie</category><category>TheShield</category><category>TheShieldMovie</category><dc:creator>John Scott Lewinski</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Will Forte talks about the MacGruber movie</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/02/will-forte-talks-about-the-macgruber-movie/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/02/will-forte-talks-about-the-macgruber-movie/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/02/will-forte-talks-about-the-macgruber-movie/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/saturday-night-live/" rel="tag">Saturday Night Live</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="164" border="0" align="right" width="250" vspace="4" alt="macgruber the movie will forte nbc" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/macgruber_nopants.jpg" />Will Forte is hilarious. Last night, he stole the show from Jimmy Fallon on <span style="font-style: italic;">Late Night</span>, which admittedly doesn't seem very hard to do, with non-stop jokes and a mini rock opera. He might not be the most popular comedic actor on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/saturday-night-live/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Saturday Night Live</span></a>, but he's definitely one of the funniest. That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to his <span style="font-style: italic;">MacGruber</span> movie.<br /><br />Yup, a <span style="font-style: italic;">MacGruber</span> movie. Forte told Fallon about a script he wrote for a feature film based on the <span style="font-style: italic;">SNL</span> sketch. "John Solomon, Jorma Taccone, and I just finished writing it. We're gonna make it in Albuquerque. It's me and Kristen Wiig and cast to be determined," he said.

Once again, "news" has surfaced that <a href="http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a157234/bbc-confirms-doctor-who-movie-plans.html">a <em>Doctor Who</em> movie is in the works</a>. Supposedly this one has a bit more merit because the BBC has confirmed that one is in development, yet they don't link to a press release of any kind. Forgive me if I have some doubts.<br /><br />If true, which Doctor is it? Will it be David Tennant or Matt Smith? And which showrunner is it? Russell T. Davies or Steven Moffat? Or is the answer none of the above?<br /><br />There has been <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/29/doctor-who-gets-younger-redder-with-new-companion/">a lot</a> <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/goodbye-sy-fy-doctor-who-on-bbca/">of recent</a> <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/david-tennant-isnt-done-yet/">developments</a> in the <em>Doctor Who</em> world. A movie is the next logical step.<br /><br />If I had my druthers, the movie would be about the Time War (the Daleks being the obvious choice for the alien enemy of the movie). It would star Paul McGann and fill the gap between the 1996 television movie and the 2005 relaunch. The odds are so astronomically against as to be incalculable, but I can dream.<br /><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/30/doctor-who-the-movie/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19052133/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/30/doctor-who-the-movie/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>BBC</category><category>BBC Films</category><category>BbcFilms</category><category>David Tennant</category><category>DavidTennant</category><category>Matt Smith</category><category>MattSmith</category><category>Russell T.

The trick is, they're not involving the creator or any of the original cast of the television series. In fact, they're not even basing it on the television series.<br /><br />If ever there was a recipe for disaster, this is it. McG's proposed version of <em>Spaced</em> sucked eggs for similar reasons (a failure to grasp what made it successful). This could potentially work if you took out the word "Buffy" from the title and didn't try to sully the name of the franchise, but otherwise, I don't see it.<br /><br />Of course, it is early in the process. There are a million ways that this horrific idea can die an early death, which would sure beat the embarrassment of the certain death of nobody going to see this movie.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/a-buffy-remake-without-joss/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1562829/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/a-buffy-remake-without-joss/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>buffy movie</category><category>buffy the vampire slayer</category><category>BuffyMovie</category><category>BuffyTheVampireSlayer</category><category>Fran Rubel Kuzui</category><category>FranRubelKuzui</category><category>Joss Whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>Vertigo Entertainment</category><category>VertigoEntertainment</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2009 10:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Should Shatner be in the next Star Trek movie?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/should-shatner-be-in-the-next-star-trek-movie/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/should-shatner-be-in-the-next-star-trek-movie/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/should-shatner-be-in-the-next-star-trek-movie/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-squad-polls/" rel="tag">TV Squad Polls</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/star-trek-original-series/" rel="tag">Star Trek: Original Series</a></p><img hspace="4" height="268" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="Shatner" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/07/kirkxxx.jpg" />So William Shatner says he hasn't seen the new <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/star-trek-original-series/"><em>Star Trek</em> movie</a> yet. But he says that he knows it has gotten some great reviews and he's really looking forward to seeing it. He also says he'd <a href="http://www.imdb.com/news/ns0000003/#ni0798741">delighted to be in the next movie</a>.<br /><br />So what do you think? Is having Shatner in the next movie a great way to please old <em>Trek</em> fans or do you think having yet another character from the original series would be pushing it, considering they already had Leonard Nimoy in the first one (which is pretty much how I'm leaning)?<br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/should-shatner-be-in-the-next-star-trek-movie/#poll30515">View Poll</a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/should-shatner-be-in-the-next-star-trek-movie/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1555850/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/26/should-shatner-be-in-the-next-star-trek-movie/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>captain kirk</category><category>chris pine</category><category>enterprise</category><category>j.j. abrams</category><category>leonard nimoy</category><category>sequel</category><category>should shatner be in the next trek movie</category><category>spock</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek movie</category><category>william shatner</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2009 08:18:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Bradley Cooper to play the Faceman?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/bradley-cooper-to-play-the-faceman/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/bradley-cooper-to-play-the-faceman/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/bradley-cooper-to-play-the-faceman/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="270" border="0" align="right" width="248" vspace="4" alt="Bradley Cooper" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/06/bradley--250.jpg" />Originally the rumors had him cast as the movie version of <em>Green Lantern</em>, now Bradley Cooper (formerly of <em>Alias</em>) is in the running <a href="http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=6900&amp;Itemid=99">to play the character of Templeton "Face" Peck</a> in the big screen version of <em>The A-Team</em>.<br /><br />You could do a lot worse. To play Face, you have to give off a child-like charm and have an innocent, wait for it, face. While Tim Dunigan created the role in the pilot, Dirk Benedict played off the con man with big eyes and a sweet voice perfectly. I could see Cooper giving off that sort of wide-eyed innocence that I most closely associate with the character.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/bradley-cooper-to-play-the-faceman/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Bradley Cooper to play the Faceman?</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/bradley-cooper-to-play-the-faceman/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1548891/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/bradley-cooper-to-play-the-faceman/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Bradley Cooper</category><category>BradleyCooper</category><category>The A-Team</category><category>TheA-team</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2009 15:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Star Trek is Star Wars (not really, but this is funny)</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/15/star-trek-is-star-wars-not-really-but-this-is-funny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/15/star-trek-is-star-wars-not-really-but-this-is-funny/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/15/star-trek-is-star-wars-not-really-but-this-is-funny/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/star-trek-original-series/" rel="tag">Star Trek: Original Series</a></p>First let me say that I loved the new big screen <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Trek</span> movie.

Abrams' new <em>Star Trek</em> has sparked a huge controversy in the Trekkie universe, a controversy that in the real world amounts to a drunken debate in a dive border town bar over which Darren on <em>Bewitched</em> was more "boneable." <br /><br /><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/08/new-star-trek-kicks-the-ass-of-every-other-star-trek/">My sneak preview review</a> sparked a wave of supportive and angry comments that I have never seen in my history with TV Squad, which amounts to six months depending on which of my accountants you talk to. My former accountant can be reached at the Tennessee Colony State Prison, Tennessee Colony, Texas. <br /><br />It seems the angrier of the Treksters are getting their head gear in a bunch because Abrams chose to work Leonard Nimoy into the picture via a time travel plot that completely alters the original history and lore of the original series. As one commentor put it, "instead of obliterating a few minutes of exposition about 20 years we didn't watch, this has obliterated [forty three plus] years of storytelling that we did watch."<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/09/the-new-star-trek-flick-has-started-a-trekkie-civil-war/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The new Star Trek flick has started a Trekkie civil war</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/09/the-new-star-trek-flick-has-started-a-trekkie-civil-war/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1541389/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/09/the-new-star-trek-flick-has-started-a-trekkie-civil-war/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>get a life</category><category>GetALife</category><category>j.j. abrahms</category><category>j.j. abramds</category><category>j.j. abrams</category><category>J.j.Abrahms</category><category>J.j.Abramds</category><category>J.j.Abrams</category><category>leonard nimoy</category><category>LeonardNimoy</category><category>saturday night live</category><category>SaturdayNightLive</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek movie</category><category>StarTrek</category><category>StarTrekMovie</category><category>william shatner</category><category>WilliamShatner</category><dc:creator>Danny Gallagher</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2009 17:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>New Star Trek kicks the ass of every other Star Trek</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/08/new-star-trek-kicks-the-ass-of-every-other-star-trek/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/08/new-star-trek-kicks-the-ass-of-every-other-star-trek/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/08/new-star-trek-kicks-the-ass-of-every-other-star-trek/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="263" border="0" align="top" alt="The cast of J.J.
