Movie Buzz There's a theory abound that J.J. Abrams included the Beastie Boys' “Sabotage” in the new Star Trek as a nod to original Cap'n Kirk, William Shatner. Back in his Trek days, Shatner insisted on pronouncing the word “Sabo-taj” or “sabo-taag,” with a short “a” instead of the more common pronunciation of “sab-uh-tahzh.” If that's the case, awesome nod, Abrams.
The new Star Trek official site gives the over-the-top full-screen flash treatment with trailers, photo galleries, and effects. J.J. Abrams looks like he has another hit - fingers crossed.
TV Buzz The uber-producer is already at work on his next project. No, not that fringe. Abrams’ new series sounds very X-Files, teaming a female FBI agent with a mad scientist. The pilot is reportedly shooting for $10 million - maybe the 2008 television season won’t be a total loss?
Movie Buzz With a new trailer, a new official site (plus several new viral marketing sites), buzz for the secret J.J. Abrams Movie is building steadily. As long as it’s better than Snakes On A Plane, we’ll all be happy. Update: Cloverfield reviews have been great so far!
