[net.startrek] Just thought I'd pass it on

You may remember, several months ago, someone mentioning that somebody
(Nimoy, Takei, or someone involved with the films) mentioned a "BIG" star (I
assume not Godzilla) was interested in doing a Trek picture, but that the
preliminary plot for ST IV was such that no part "worthy" of the mystery
personage could be found.

Well, an article in net.sf-lovers mentioned that the personage (according to
Nimoy) who had shown interest was -- Eddie Murphy.  It all sounded to be in
the same sense of "deal" that all Southern California suffers from.

Brother.  I mean, if we need interstellar con-men, why not just get Roger
Carmel?

	Billy Idol once said ( a few months ago in an interview with the 
Chicago Tribune) that the only thing that could divert him from music is to
be offered a roll in a Star Trek movie...he'd give up anything for that.

Well, if STIV is going to be "lighter and more upbeat", make Billy Idol
a villain.  He'd be a hilarious as he i in his videos.  Sneer and
everything.
