John Cho discusses ‘Harold and Kumar,’ ‘Star Trek’ sequels

March 11th, 2010 No comments

Flash Forward star John Cho says that a script for the third Harold and Kumar has been written and that it will be a holiday-themed movie that takes place a few years after the last film. The new Star Trek script is being written, Cho says, but he doesn’t know what the story is about. I can’t wait to see both of them.

It happens in Vegas: change

Vegas

The bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip.

My first visit to Las Vegas was in 1999. A buddy and I booked the best hotel deal we could find, and not knowing the geography, we ended up in the Stratosphere, at the far north end of the Strip away from most of the action.

Takei joining cast of Heroes

November 20th, 2006 No comments

George Takei, aka Sulu from Star Trek, is going to play Hiro Nakamura’s father in Heroes.

Takei’s character is big honcho who shows up in America with his bodyguard to try and kidnap his son and take him back to Japan, said Masi Oka, who plays Hiro, in TV Guide.

“I just hope I get to say, ‘Dad! Sulu is my hero, not you!’ The sci-fi fans would love it!” Oka said.

It’s a natural fit for Takei, a legendary sci-fi icon, to join the hottest science fiction show on TV.
