Titolo: [NEWS] Kate Mulgrew Now Up For Trek X Cameo Role

In an effort to increase the drawing power of Star Trek X, producers 
reportedly asked Jeri Ryan to reprise her role as Seven of Nine in the 
upcoming film. But when she proved to be unavailable, they apparently 
quickly decided to go for the next best thing, in the form of Kate 
Mulgrew (Kathryn Janeway).
Sources suggest that the producers were very interested in getting Jeri 
Ryan to appear in the film, as had been previously reported 
(
http://www.trektoday.com/news/010501_08.shtml
). However, Trek X is not 
expected to begin filming until the late Summer or even Autumn, and by 
that time Ryan will have started production on her new television series 
Boston Public (
http://www.trektoday.com/news/170501_04.shtml
). 
Reportedly, Ryan will be too busy with this role to do any outside film 
appearances, such as Trek X, or more than a few convention appearances. 
As Ryan seemed to be unavailable, the producers rewrote Seven's 
appearance in Star Trek X to feature Mulgrew's character. As of this 
writing, it is not yet known whether Mulgrew has committed to returning 
as Janeway for the film. 
It is also uncertain how large Janeway's role would be. Previously, it 
was thought Seven of Nine would only be making a small cameo appearance, 
similar to the Holodoc's small role on 'Star Trek: First Contact,' and 
this indeed is what most sources are still saying. However, long-time 
source 'Faith', who has read part of the Trek X script 
(
http://www.trektoday.com/news/260401_04.shtml
), has told us she will 
have a "substantial" role in the film.
While Voyager fans will be catered for with this cameo, Deep Space Nine 
fans apparently will not be. Gayle Stever, who has been strongly 
involved with fan clubs for DS9 actors such as Alexander Siddig (Julian 
Bashir), Nana Visitor (Kira Nerys) and Andrew Robinson (Garak), today 
sent out an e-mail to various DS9 fan organisations to launch a letter 
campaign in protest of this.
"It has come to my attention from a reliable source that the next Star 
Trek feature film will feature TNG and Voyager actors (reportedly 
Mulgrew and also possibly Ryan)," Stever wrote. "There are currently no 
plans to include a DS9 actor in the film but I believe that with the 
right kind of pressure, we could change that. I would like to suggest 
that we (the DS9 fan clubs) sponsor a letter writing campaign to Rick 
Berman asking him (respectfully) to include a DS9 actor in the next 
feature (and I DON'T mean Worf!)."
Deep Space Nine was also recently passed over for the first Enterprise 
promo, though this was corrected after online fans protested (story). 
According to Stever, this would also be possible for Trek X, and she 
urged fans to write in to Paramount. "100 letters will get attention. 
200 letters will have an impact. 1000 letters could be enough to really 
make a difference. Thanks!" 
Final script work is currently being completed on Star Trek X, with pre-
production scheduled to start in July. Official details on the film's 
plot and possible cameo characters aren't expected to appear for at 
least several months, so until such official info is released by 
Paramount any Trek X news from unofficial sources should be treated as 
you would any rumour. Thanks go out to Lysette van Erp for forwarding 
the DS9 campaign mail!

 It is also uncertain how large Janeway's role would be.
Di sicuro anche se si fosse trattato di Jennifer Lien non si poteva dire
a priori quanto debba essere "largo" il ruolo! ^_____^

Bashir non era stato scelto come "modello" per l'MOE a... lunga durata?
