Another Star Trek Movie in the Works?
Weeks before the Star Trek movie premiered in theaters in May 2009, fans had buzzed about the possibility of the sequel of the all-time favorite sci-fi movie. Even the movie producers are giving some hints that a follow-up movie may be released in 2010 or 2011 with the same cast.
The producers said it would depend on the box-office success of the revival of the Star Trek film. In fact, the producers have already hired screenwriters for the movie’s screenplay. And with the movie’s $76 million opening sales, Trekkies may have something to look forward to in the next two years.
According to reports, the Star Trek movie sequel would focus on the “unpredictable future.” This is because fans already know the fate of the characters—who lived as well as who died—so there’s no point in subjecting certain characters to danger. One of the writers of the movie said there was a need to find ways to make the future of the characters hard to foresee so that when they’re caught in difficult and threatening circumstances, the risk of death would become real.
In particular, online rumor has it that the Star Trek movie sequel would be about the war between Earth and the Romulans. This happened from 2156 to 2160, a time-frame that’s two more years into the future from the Star Trek Enterprise.
In addition, several unforgettable characters would be included in the sequel such as Dr. Tolian Soran and Khan Noonien Singh. Their lives might be altered by the developments in the follow-up Star Trek movie.

Top Five Star Trek Costumes for Halloween
Are you a loyal Trekkie? If space adventure is your thing, then why not spice up your Halloween presence by donning your favorite Star Trek costumes?
To give you an idea on what to wear in your next Halloween party, the following are the five most popular Star Trek costumes:
1. Star Trek The Movie costumes (2009)
Moviegoers saw the characters dressed in Star Trek movie costumes that are more sophisticated than the original ones. The tops have two layers with a quilted pattern over a shirt. Like in the original, the colors of the shirts indicate the crew where a character belongs (i.e., blue for medical and science officers, red for technicians and security personnel, and gold for command officers). Female Starfleet officers wear skirts and short sleeves.
2. The Next Generation uniforms (1987-1994)
The Next Generation costumes include a jumpsuit with a color that identifies which part of the crew a person is in. On the right side of the collar is a rank insignia, while a Starfleet communicator badge is on the left chest.
3. Deep Space Nine uniforms (1993-1999)
A different set of costumes was used for Deep Space Nine TV series. The costumes are one-piece open-necked jumpsuits that have black torsos and colored shoulders that indicate the character’s part in the Starfleet crew.
4. Voyager uniforms (1995-2001)
Because it is set at about the same period as the Deep Space Nine, the Star Trek Voyager used the same uniforms as that of its predecessor.
5. Enterprise uniforms (2001-2005)
The male and female costumes include a blue jumpsuit with colored piping around the shoulders, which indicate a character’s section in the crew. The jumpsuit is matched with a dark long-sleeved undershirt.
