Set faces to stunned – Star Trek’s coming back to the small screen

by

That’s so long to wait, but according to the initial rumours on Hollywood Reporter producer Alex Kurtzman is still looking for writers for the new show.

So if you feel you’ve got what it takes why not drop him a line…

Kurtzman is the producer behind the current Star Trek movie franchise, but the new TV series is reportedly not going to be related to the upcoming Star Trek Beyond movie that’s coming out next year. Whether or not that means the new show will be running along the same alternate timeline as the latest adventures of the Enterprise’s crew, or whether it will treat the existing TV shows as canon, we just don’t know.

It could be Star Trek, but not as we know it.

CBS has announced that it will be a brand new cast of characters though it does say they’ll be seeking out imaginative new worlds and new civilisations, which makes it sound a lot like the original series and The Next Generation’s ongoing missions.

The new series will be created specifically for CBS All Access, it’s own on-demand streaming platform, but have no fear, CBS will also distribute the new show to run concurrently ‘for television and multiple platforms around the world.’

New remote turns PS4 in to an all-round media powerhouse

That’s because Sony has finally debuted the Universal Media Remote for the console that means you won’t be wasting the Li-ion batteries on your precious video games controllers for much longer.

The remote, clearly geared towards movie and box set fans, looks exactly the same as a regular DVD player or TV remote except that it features the D-pad and buttons that you’d usually find on the PS4 controllers.

It connects up to the PS4 via Bluetooth and the fun doesn’t end there. The technology on board allows you to control up to three additional devices, which can be anything from TVs and set-top boxes, to DVD players and audio systems.

From launch it will work with a vast range of different apps including Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, PlayStation Video, the on-board Blu-ray player, Crunchyroll and a range of other apps only available in the US.

There’s currently no definitive release date for the remote yet Sony has already confirmed it will be priced at $29.99 with users in the US, Mexico and Canada able to put in an order for one later this month.
