William Shatner and Chris Pine United in New Animated Movie Quantum Quest

Features

By GustavoLeao / 04:24, 7 January 2009 / General Genre/SciFi

According to DreamWatch Total Sci Fi and Variety, actors from all generations of the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises have been cast in Quantum Quest, a 3-D animated film being made in conjunction with NASA. The movie is being financed by Taiwanese toonshop Digimax.


The $10 million picture will take the audience on a tour of the outer planets and moons of our solar system, as they follow the adventures of Dave (played by the new Kirk, actor Chris Pine); a photon living in the sun caught in the galactic battle between the Core, (voiced by the original Kirk William Shatner); and the Void, brought to life by Star Wars' Mark Hamill.


Star Wars actors James Earl Jones and Hayden Christensen, who both voiced Darth Vader, and Samuel L. Jackson, also feature in the movie.


Directed by Dan St. Pierre and Harry Kloor (Star Trek Voyager), "Quantum Quest" will bow first in Imax and subsequently in conventional theaters in late 2009.

Hosh! That's exciting!!! | Report this post to moderator

I'm virtually blown away on so many levels I can't even begin to phrase it.

1. Now I'm a big big Star Wars fan.
2. Of course I'm an even bigger Trekker.
3. I really love CGI movies!
4. I'm an all-out SciFi geek and I'm very much into bizarr 2001-type SciFi.
5. I'm going to be a SciFi-author myself, planning to release my first novel which is partly also rather bizarr and out-of-this-world...
6. I very much appreciate the return of the SciFi genre in 2009 (with Star Trek, Avatar and hopefully being harbingers of even greater achievements)...

This is so freakin' exciting...I'd cast Christopher Lee, Richard Dean Anderson and Edward James Olmos, too...I'd even add Johnny Depp! But please leave it Tom Cruise-free...

Well, this is pretty much stunt casting, but it's nice that SOMEONE got these people in the same room. Pine/Shatner is a LOT more natural transition than Christensen and Jones, huh?

Kirk versus Luke Skywalker, too. Hilarious. We finally get to see who wins.
