Meta-Casting Mashup of the Week
Amazon Studios renewed plans for a long-awaited "Galaxy Quest" series earlier this year when they announced that actor Paul Scheer had been hired to write the show. This week, Sheer revealed that the show will feature not one, but two separate casts. Presumably, one would feature original members of the 1999 Galaxy Quest movie cast ... and the new cast will play those Galaxy Quest characters in a reboot within the original universe. Make sense? "I want to avoid anything that could be viewed as a reboot for reboot's sake," said Scheer. "There are real reasons behind these choices ... maybe too much so."
