William Shatner prepares to meet "The Captains"!

This news is a couple of days old, but being the Star Trek fan that I am, I'm reposting it to spread the word and for others to know about.

Via Slash Film, William Shatner has a new documentary film coming entitled "The Captains", which will follow the legendary actor as he travels the world to connect with each of the actors and actress who have played a Captain in the long running Star Trek franchise, which include Star Trek: The Next Generation's Jean-Luc Picard played by Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew's Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager, and even young actor Chris Pine, who played a younger version of Shatner's infamous role of Captain James T. Kirk in the 2009 Star Trek reboot film! On the subject of meeting the later, Shat actually released a teaser pic of him armwrestling Chris Pine , and here it is below!

Now, here's the trailer for the upcoming documentary. Look beyond and see Starfleet captains meet!

The Captains will premiere on July 21st on EPIX HD cable channel. For more info, visit the source post at Slash Film!

FOCUS On The Fight At Hand!

If there's anything about fighting games that I can relate with other people, it's the road one takes to prepare and train themselves for the fight ahead. I just came from a tournament myself this weekend, and I can certainly tell you that moments like these sure take a lot out from you, even before the real fight begins. However, if someone is dedicated to what they like and what they play, that passion carries them over, and fuels them with the energy and concentration necessary to see them through to whatever result lies in the end.

Such is the case with Mike Ross, one of the world's top Street Fighter 4 players. Having won 4th place at this year's EVO Championship Tournament, Mike has proven time and again that he is dedicated to his art and craft... but what exactly does he do to prepare himself prior to the competition itself? That is question that filmmaker Steve Hwang answers as he puts together a documentary that covers Mike's journey down the road - from preparation in the summer to competing in the EVO 2010 Tournament itself. Check out the trailer to FOCUS:

Looking mighty interesting alright. I enjoy watching stuff like this, and it gives insight to what dedicated players go through when they play for passion and join a contest. I can't wait to see the whole documentary when it gets released this fall!
