The Next Star Trek Movie
“Brent Spiner revealed this week that he may appear in the next Star Trek: The Next Generation movie, but when he said he didn’t want to act, he left many fans scratching their heads. Turns out Spiner has been secretly working with JJ Abrams and the effects team to reprise his signature role … without lifting a finger. ‘I made it very clear that I have aged too much to play Data anymore,’ says Spiner. ‘I said that I would be willing to be in the movie if they get the technology together, and so they are working on that right now.’ A body-cast mold of Spiner, created for a special effects shot in the third season of The Next Generation, provided the basis for a digital-effects version of his famous character so the figure can appear in the movie as a living, breathing actor. ‘I think it’s cool to continue on with the franchise,’ adds Spiner, who will provide the voice of Commander Data.”

I hope it’s not a CGI Data… Now if they made a real Data.. I could get behind that.
