Shat SHIVA!!

Merrick here...
I meant to post this last week and, quite frankly, I forgot to do it. For a while now, we've been hearing indications that William Shatner would be bringing a comedy called SHIVA CRASHERS (aka THE SHIVA CLUB) to the screen, based on a concept by Shatner. The story is described as "a funny and touching look into the world of comedy, with a Shiva as the setting." Shatner would direct the film. This project has been in the wind for some time now...disappearing...reappearing....etc. Now comes word that active development/placement of the property is underway.

Discussions are underway with a number of big stars who are interested in participating, as well as a major studio. We will be announcing more details in the coming weeks."

...says THIS INFORMATION at Big Screen Entertainment, the group working with Shatner to bring us the Shiva movie. While few love STAR TREK V, I personally believe that many of its character moments are among the finest in the franchise. I'd love to see Shatner get a chance to work (as a director) with a character driven piece of this nature.
