We are VERY pleased that today, on what would’ve been “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry‘s 100th birthday, news of an official biopic hit. The Great Bird of the Galaxy is an important figure in American pop culture and science fiction, his creation remains one of the touchstones of inspiration. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations leading way to an idealized future where peace and understanding were the name of the game.
Adam Mazer is reportedly tackling the script for the project, which is in the early phases of development.
Rod Roddenberry, son of Gene and Majel Barrett Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth are producing the project.
We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
