Can you see Spiner as Questor?

Oooooooooo here is something fun! From Trek Movie Report comes some interesting news from the Roddenberry / Star Trek camp. Remember last week I reported that the Questor tapes were going to be remade? Well guess who Rod Roddenberry wants to star in the new movie? Brent (Data) Spiner! Yeah! Does that work or what?!!!

Now before you get yourself in a bunch, Spiner (now 61) has not expressed ANY interest in the role and Roddenberry admits that director Tim Minear "may be looking in a different direction".

Be interesting to see how this plays out though. For complete article, go to TrekMovie.com

Questor Tapes being developed for TV

From Trekmovie.com I see that Gene Roddenberry's The Questor Tapes are once again on tap for TV.

• Roddenberry Productions has entered into a deal with Ron Howard’s Imagine Television to develop Gene Roddenberry’s 1970s pilot "The Questor Tapes" into a new TV series.
• In the 1970s, after the end of the original Star Trek on NBC .... Gene Roddenberry developed a number of sci-fi TV shows which were turned into pilot TV movies, but never picked up as series.... One of these projects was called "The Questor Tapes" which was originally conceived as a television series pilot about an android (played by Robert Foxworth) with incomplete memory tapes who searches for his creator and his purpose. The pilot aired as a TV movie in January of 1974. Star Trek producer Gene Coon also worked on the pilot with (Gene and ) Majel Barrett Roddenberry .... NBC had agreed to a 13 episode commitment, but after failing to agree on changes with Roddenberry, the project was scrapped.
