Over at the TrekNation.com website, there is
an interview with the writing team of Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin, who are collaborating on the
Star Trek novels which will relate the adventures of Captain William T. Riker on board the starship
Titan, picking up on events after the last
ST:TNG film,
Star Trek: Nemesis.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe fans may also remember - as the folks at TrekNation did (thanks!) - that we
reported that Mangels was hired by BCI Eclipse as a consultant on the upcoming
He-Man DVDs. Toward the end of his TrekNation interview, Mangels makes some comments about the nature of his participation in the project:
I am consulting with a DVD company called BCI Eclipse on the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe DVD series. I'll be directing a large series of half-hour documentaries, plus the other special features content. I'm very excited because it's the first time I'll be directing something in Hollywood. (laughing) They always say that writers want to direct. One of the fun things about it is that I'm going to be working closely with Lou Scheimer, the head of Filmation, which is the company who did Star Trek: The Animated Series, which I dearly love. I'm very excited about that because I'm going to get to spend a whole day filming with him.
Our thanks to reader Daniel Kikin for pointing us toward this interview, which is very enjoyable overall, so head on over and read the entire thing! Stay tuned and we'll have more
He-Man DVD info for you in the not-too-distant future!
