re: #152 Walter L. Newton

Well, I don’t know if this has been in the public news, but it’s probably not a secret (well, as of this post, not anymore), but I was speaking to Simon Pegg’s (the new Scotty in the movie) dad the other day, and Simon is already contracted for 5 more episodes of this recent Star Trek movie franchise.

So, the intent right now is to make at least 5 more installments using this cast.

Of course, anything such as a long run movie franchise is subject to future business considerations, so we’ll have to see what happens.

Most all of the comments and reviews I’ve read about this movie has been boffo.
