According to BoxOfficeMojo Star Trek earned an estimated $76,500,000 in its first weekend. That puts it above some totals of other Trek movies, already. By comparison, Star Trek Nemesis only made $43,000,000 when it debuted in 2002 (Figures once again BoxOfficeMojo). It is poised to easily become the highest earning Trek film yet.

I hear today via http://www.aintitcool.com and MTV that casting has started on George Lucas’s Star Wars live-action series. This series will cover the events between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. For me this is great news. I’ve never really cared for the animated ones being produced recently. I’m really hoping the TV series is realized and has a chance to air.
