William Shatner News

Captain on the bridge! William Shatner beams into the Northwest suburbs this weekend.

With so many titles to choose from, Netflix Instant's library can be overwhelming.

The bad news today for sci-fi fans is that Stan Lee will not be able to attend Denver Comic Con .

William Shatner plays Capt. James T. Kirk in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn," coming to theaters in Naperville and Woodridge with the actor in tow.

I don't know why it's in the spot." Nimoy, who created the role of Spock in the 1967-1969 series Star Trek , told me in a telephone interview that the response to song "was a complete surprise to me." Nimoy's internet presence is solid, but it's a fraction of that of his colleagues, William Shatner and George Takei.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" is like fan-boy fiction on a $185 million budget. It's reverential, it's faithful, it's steeped in "Trek" mythology.

In addition to Philly Beer Week , Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con is scheduled for May 30 to June 2. Comic Con, which will be at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, will feature Q&A sessions with "Star Trek" icon William Shatner , comic book creator Stan Lee , actor Henry Winkler and others.

It's long been said that the Star Trek movies work on an unwritten rule that the odd numbered ones wind up being disappointments and the even numbered ones wind up being the ones that are worth watching.

Ms. White passed away April 14th at a nursing home in Washington D.C aged 86. Her death went un-noticed until a recent notice in The Carroll County Times in Maryland.

In his second voyage as 'Star Trek's' Capt. James T. Kirk, Chris Pine is more at ease in the iconic role.

The title Star Trek Into Darkness remains just as nebulous by the time the closing credits roll as it does during a chase prologue along the Class M Planet of Nibiru.

Actor William Shatner poses for a portrait in Los Angeles in 2011. Shatner played Kirk at the helm of the starship Enterprise in the "Star Trek" television series and several movies.

May 16, 2013 - NEW YORK -- Marvel Entertainment will host two programming panels and conduct two portfolio reviews at the 2013 Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con Friday, May 31, through Sunday, June 2 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

It's hard to believe that the original "Star Trek" television series lasted just three seasons and was cancelled in 1969 because of low ratings.

Since James T. Kirk first captained the Enterprise on the big screen back in 1979, there have been 12 "Star Trek" films including "Star Trek Into Darkness" which opens this Friday.

J.J. Abrams always says he's never been a Trekkie , but, according to a new report in The Wrap, it was Abrams' inability to fully control the Star Trek franchise - and wipe out merchandise connected with the original 1960s series - that may have been an impetus to switch franchises in favor of Star Wars .

"Well, I've got an idea. The next Star Wars, nothing but Lando," offered the erstwhile Lando Calrissian.

There is so much cool stuff in director J.J. Abrams' second film based on Gene Roddenberry's beloved science-fiction series, and information that should not be divulged, that a moviegoer should go in cold, if such a thing were possible in the age of Internet spoilers.

From the very beginning of "Star Trek," some 700-plus TV episodes and 12 films ago, the voyages of the Enterprise have been all about the ensemble.
