Beloved Sci-Fi Properties In Hands Of TV Names

Alias and Lost's J J Abrams appears to have signed on for the next Star Trek film; Babylon 5's J Michael Straczynksi is scripting the big-screen adaptation of Max Brooks' World War Z. My money's on the latter being the better film, providing they get a half-way decent director.

And not just because it has zombies in.

Hey - what do you reckon the chances of Romero being offered the big studio pay cheque might be? It almost happened with Resident Evil, after all.
