Today's Morning Spoilers gives away a few minor, but possibly important, details from December's Star Trek movie. It also has new info on Land of the Lost, Smallville, Sarah Connor and Lost. Plus a few new pics from an upcoming Torchwood. It's time for maximum spoilage.
- Because nobody demanded it, we're going to get to see James Kirk and his brother George as kids in the new Star Trek movie. Maybe we'll get some crucial insights into Jim's formative experiences and the childhood traumas that influenced him to be... waitaminute, this is Captain Kirk we're talking about. Anyway, the 11-year-old Jimmy Bennett will play kid Kirk, and 15-year-old Spencer Daniels will play George.
Also, apparently the brothers have a scene together without their parents. And we get to see Kirk's mom pregnant at some point (possibly with James?). This is more proof that the Trek movie will visit lots of different time periods. [TrekMovie]
- Meanwhile, J.J. Abrams is already planning on two more Trek movies. [SyFyPortal]
- Will Ferrell's Land Of The Lost movie includes actual time-travel instead of just a hole in the ground, according to a new synopsis: "Eccentric (and remarkably unlucky) paleontologist Dr. Rick Marshall validates his discredited theory of time travel by heading back into an alternate universe inhabited by dinosaurs, monkey people and reptilian Sleestaks." [Production Charts]
- Someone will die on Lost in the second half of this new mini-season. [TV Guide]
- Here's the new official description for the Feb. 14 episode of Smallville: "Lois follows Lex to Detroit and discovers he has found Kara, who has amnesia. Finley (guest star Corey Sevier), a busboy who is obsessed with Kara, fears Lex will take her away, so he shoots Lex and holds Kara and Lois captive. After Lex's comatose body is found, Chloe offers to heal him, but Clark refuses to let her." [SpoilerFix]
- We'll see more of Andy and his chess-playing computer in an upcoming Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, it seems. [SpoilerTV]
- And here are a few new pics from the fourth episode of Torchwood season two. Apparently it's about an alien who's being used as a source of "cheap meat" (no, I'm not making this up) and Gwen's fiance Rhys gets involved as part of the Torchwood team. [SFUniverse]
Comments
Given that the new Star Trek was going to involve time travel (a plot idea that has worn out its welcome), is it any surprise we'll see more of Jim Kirk?
@NefariousNewt: Given that the more I hear about the movie, the more it sounds like a damned circus, I don't think anything is ever going to surprise me about it, ever again.
@braak: Plot convolutions seem to abound. This thing is starting to smell of train wreck.
You know, I'm all for character deaths, especially in a show like LOST, but the more I think about the deaths of Shannon and Boone (Charlie, not so much), I think that their inclusion through the rest of the show could've made things more interesting.
It. Would. Beamusing. To. see. A. WholeFamilyofKirks. Talking. Likethis.
@NefariousNewt: At this point im really not sure time travel it going to pay a part of it. At first maybe, but at this point it just seems like old Spock is telling a story of the origins of the TOS crew.
@ManchuCandidate: LMAO
Someone will die on Lost this season?!?!? OMFG!
(is this really a spoiler or a promotion?)
Spoilers after the jump please...and not in the freakin' headline! Jeez.
@farcast: THANK YOU! Kinda fucking hard for someone to avoid a spoiler section if put the goddamn thing in the title!
5 Kirks and none of them are Shatner? Seems wrong.
It's like gameshow hosts. We'll have one Kirk for the flagship, one for the daytime series, one for the celebrity version, and one for the children's edition.
Um...isn't Kirk's brother's name Sam?
So how do you get to see the latest Torchwood episode 6 hours before it's shown in the UK?
@ManchuCandidate:
HAHAHAHA!!!!
@MatthewT:
I agree. It's very wrong.
@farcast: Oh, come on. The headline isn't a spoiler, it's a teaser. There's no way that anybody who just saw that headline would have any clue what the spoiler was. They'd probably think that Kirk gets cloned or something.
Isn't anything with Kirk in it already sort of spoiled?
