Star Trek is just about my favorite sci-fi franchise. I love all of the TV shows and all of the even numbered movies. (Okay, most of the odd numbered ones too… not 5) I was super excited to discover last year that the producer, creator of one of my favorite TV shows would be helming the Star Trek reboot.

J.J Abrams is not having a panel dedicated to the new Star Trek feature film. The movie is in post-production, so there’s plenty of stuff they could show. But he says that little to no effects work has been finished for the movie. They could show shots of the crew staring at the blank green view screen of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Last year they had a surprise appearance by Leonard Nimoy.

20th Century Fox's remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still

As I left preview night, I saw people with blankets already lined up for tomorrow's 20th Century Fox panel on the remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still. I always wonder why they go back and remake good films but I guess with science fiction the attraction is the new technology that allows for those stories to be brought to the screen with improved special effects. The film stars Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, who are both scheduled to attend this year's Con. At Anchor Bay's booth, you can also pick up posters of a 15-year-old Connelly in her first lead role in Dario Argento's Phenomena (a.k.a. Creepers). Anchor Bay deserves praise for continually going back and reissuing classic horror films.  And for Max Payne...
