‘Back To The Future’ 40th Anniversary Highlights Fan Expo New Orleans, January 10-12, 2025

The way we see it, if you’re going to build a pop culture convention, why not do it with some style? With apologies to Doc Brown, if our calculations are correct, FAN EXPO New Orleans brings every gigawatt of energy with its first wave of celebrities attending the annual extravaganza, January 10-12, 2025, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Headlining an already impressive lineup are four beloved stars of the Back to the Future trilogy, including Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first installment in the franchise (and 140th anniversary of the 1885 setting of BTTF3!)

And if that weren’t enough, fans of “Smallville” can meet a trio of standouts from that landmark series, including Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk. And "Firefly” standout Alan Tudyk is also part of the initial lineup announcement, a superhero’s start to what will surely be another huge celebration in the Big Easy.

FAN EXPO New Orleans features the biggest and best in pop culture: movies, TV, music, artists, writers, exhibitors, cosplay, with three full days of themed programming to satisfy every fandom.

Michael J. Fox debuted as a professional actor at 15, co-starring in the sitcom “Leo and Me” on CBC. When he was 18, Fox moved to Los Angeles. He had a series of bit parts, including one in “Palmerstown USA” before winning the role of lovable conservative Alex P. Keaton on NBC’s enormously popular “Family Ties” (1982-89). During Fox’s seven years on “Ties,” he earned three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, making him one of the country’s most prominent young actors. The five-time Emmy winner (in addition to the three for “Family Ties,” he also won one for “Spin City” and one for a guest role on “Rescue Me”) received an honorary Oscar for his commitment to the campaign for increased Parkinson’s research in 2022.

He may be best known to FAN EXPO fans for his iconic portrayal of “Doc Brown,” but Christopher Lloyd's career includes blockbuster films including The Addams Family and Who Framed Roger Rabbit and classic series like "Taxi" and the animated “Cyberchase.” Some of Lloyd's other top credits include Dennis the Menace, Angels in the Outfield, To Be or Not to Be, Clue and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

In addition to playing "Lorraine Baines McFly" alongside Fox, Lea Thompson starred in SpaceCamp, Howard the Duck, Dennis the Menace, Some Kind of Wonderful, All the Right Moves and numerous other hit films. She has guest starred in many TV series and had success with the NBC situation comedy "Caroline in the City" in the late 1990s before starring in several Broadway plays.

Tom Wilson is a character actor, writer and comedian with more than 100 film and TV credits. Wilson burst into the BTTF movies as the now iconic bully “Biff,” his grandson “Griff,” and even his own great grandfather, gunslinger Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen, for which he won the Saturn Award for best supporting actor. He’s also known for roles in “Freaks and Geeks,” "Wing Commander,” April Fool’s Day, “Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous” and “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

Tom Welling is probably best known for his role as “Clark Kent” in "Smallville.” He has also played “Lt. Marcus Pierce / Cain” in “Lucifer” and “’Karate Rob’ Meltzer” in “Judging Amy” and has had roles in the films Cheaper by the Dozen, The Fog, Draft Day and The Choice.

Kristin Kreuk appeared on "Smallville" as Clark's original love interest, “Lana Lang” and was also featured as “Catherine Chandler” in The CW sci-fi series "Beauty & the Beast" and as “Joanna Hanley” in the CBC legal drama series "Burden of Truth."

Michael Rosenbaum starred in the role of “Lex Luthor” on "Smallville" and most recently as the character “Buddy Dobbs” on the TV Land series "Impastor." He is also known for voicing “Wally West / The Flash” on the popular animated series "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited."

Alan Tudyk gained fans’ attention when he starred as wise-cracking "Hoban 'Wash' Washburne" in "Firefly" and Serenity, and later grabbed the “Star Wars” fandom with his portrayal of “K-2SO” in Rogue One. He currently stars as “Harry Vanderspeigle” in “Resident Alien” and also appeared in Wreck it Ralph and 42 and has lent his voice to characters in hits like “American Dad,” “Harley Quinn,” “Transformers: Earthspeak” and “Star vs. the Forces of Evil.”

New Orleans is the first event on the 2025 FAN EXPO HQ calendar; the full schedule is available at fanexpohq.com/home/events/.

We Are Starfleet is back, looking back at Star Trek III: The Search For Spock for its 40th anniversary. Have you watched it in recent memory?

[toshootforthestars]

Happy 40th anniversary to "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," where William Shatner throws Christopher Lloyd into a lava flow on an alien planet. And where Lucasfilm's ILM was paid to blow up the canonical TOS Enterprise here, this movie being ILM's first sci-fi project after Return of the Jedi. (Look up who the puppeteer is for the Klingon doggo). Directed by Mr. Spock himself!

Seriously though: if you're not a fan of the woebegone tire fire Trek franchise (and let's be honest, Star Trek has always sucked, the Rick Berman era was a mess outside of DS9, and the Abrams/Kurtzman era is dreadful), this movie isn't half bad.

There's a dumb parody of Yoda, Uhura puts a guy in the closet (but otherwise her character has little to do in the movie 👎), and like every Trek entry it fails to really explore what life is like in the 2200s relative to today, other than unimaginative, superficial, chintzy production details (everything sparkles and the clothes are eccentric, oooh ahhh). And plot holes the size of a borg cube.

But the visual effects in this movie have held up well, even the butt plug shaped Spacedock. Shatner's bad acting is peak camp. The film score by James Horner is among his best film scores ever and from which he'd reuse themes in later scores (even for Avatar). And there's tribbles.

STAR TREK EXCELSIOR-CLASS FILMING MODEL

Yes, kids, back in the day special effects technicians had to use actual hand built models to film spaceships, instead of all the computer generated ones today.  I’m not gonna get involved in the argument as to which method is better (MODELS!  DEFINITELY MODELS!),; that’s not the purpose of this post.

Instead, I present for your perusal photographs of perhaps the most re-used model in the Star Trek franchise: the U.S.S. Excelsior.

The U.S.S. Excelsior, first of her class, was originally seen in Star Trek lll: The Search for Spock.  At that time she was still an experiment for the utilization of the (ultimately unsuccessful) trans-warp drive.  Appropriately, her Starfleet registration number was NX-2000 (the X indicating experimental).

The ship was seen again, albeit briefly, at the end of Star Trek lV: The Voyage Home, when Commander Sulu expressed his hope of being assigned onboard her.  Sulu was obviously taken with Excelsior, as he had admired her in the previous film.

Excelsior appeared again at the very beginning of Star Trek Vl: The Undiscovered Country, which takes place several years late in the continuity.  Sulu is now a captain, the proud master and commander of Excelsior.  This film gave filmgoers the first extensive look at the ship, as she was extensively involved in the story, and participated in the climatic starship battle alongside the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Modifications were then made to both the saucer section and engineering hull of the model, indicating that the Excelsior-class had received a refit.  The modified model made its debut in the very next film, Star Trek:Generations, as the newly christened U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B.

The model was then used extensively as a background vessel in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.  Famously, it became the Excelsior again for the third season Voyager episode Flashback, which depicted Tuvok’s time as a crewman on the ship during the events of The Undiscovered Country.

The model’s last major role was as the U.S.S. Lakota, which was seen in two fourth season episodes of DS9 in 1996.  It was used extensively as a background vessel several times after that, but as there were no close-ups the name and registration number were not changed.

The model, which was 92.5 inches long and 32 inches wide, was finally retired from service in the late 1990s, when the Star Trek production offices completely switched over to the utilization of CGI effects.

The model was sold for $132,000 by Christies in 2006 as part of its 40th Anniversary Star Trek Auction.

"Star Trek" Star Leonard Nimoy Dies

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/star-trek-star-leonard-nimoy-dies/

"Star Trek" Star Leonard Nimoy Dies

The actor best known as the Vulcan Mr. Spock was 83.

Leonard Nimoy, famous for his role as Mr. Spock in Star Trek, died Friday in Los Angeles from end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, his wife told the New York Times. He was 83.

Born in Boston, Nimoy had been acting for his entire life, moving to Los Angeles when he was 18. He landed his first (tiny) film roles in 1951, and worked relatively steadily in film and television throughout the 1950s and ’60s — save for an 18-month stint serving in the Army in Georgia.

And then he was cast as Spock in Gene Roddenberry’s initial pilot for Star Trek. Titled “The Cage,” the NBC network brass felt the show was far too cerebral, and Roddenberry was forced to revamp the show and shoot another, more action-oriented pilot. Only Spock remained from the original cast, and although the original Star Trek TV series lasted only three seasons, Nimoy’s life was never the same.

Arguably more than any other actor involved with Star Trek, even his co-star William Shatner, Nimoy became the most deeply identified with the steadfast sci-fi franchise, thanks to both his indelible performance as the logic-driven, half-Vulcan, half-human science officer, and the many iconic tropes of the character, including his pointed ears, slanted eyebrows, and unique Vulcan salute.

As Spock began to dominate Nimoy’s career, his relationship with the character became a complicated one. In 1977, he wrote an autobiography bluntly titled I Am Not Spock. Eighteen years later — and after six Star Trek movies and a memorable guest star appearance on a two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation — Nimoy published a second autobiography, titled I Am Spock.

Nimoy also stepped behind the camera, directing the third and fourth Star Trek films, The Search for Spock and The Voyage Home, as well as the 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby. He often did voiceover work, both as a narrator (for the History channel’s Ancient Mysteries), as an actor (including the 1986 animated film Transformers: The Movie, the 2001 Disney animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and the 2011 live-action film Transformers: Dark of the Moon), and as himself (in two memorable episodes of The Simpsons).

But Spock remained a constant presence in Nimoy’s life. When J.J. Abrams rebooted the Star Trek film series in 2009 with a new cast — and new timeline — the filmmaker convinced Nimoy to step back into the enduring role as the long-lived half-Vulcan, opposite Zachary Quinto as the character’s younger counterpart. It is fitting that Nimoy’s final on-screen role was as Spock, in 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness. At the film’s premiere in Los Angeles, Nimoy’s brief cameo was greeted with a thunderous ovation.

He is survived by his wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, brother Melvin, children Adam and Julie, stepson Aaron Bay Schuck, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

This was Nimoy’s last tweet:

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP
