 2nd June 2005: MP3 Interview
A fantastic one hour MP3 interview with Marina Sirtis can be found at www.thefandom.com. I highly recommend it, Marina talks about wanting to do theatre work in London, which is wonderful news for UK fans! She also discusses how she will probably work with Shadowland Productions again, the film company who made Spectres, and that will be on the Lifetime channel in the U.S. sometime this month. Marina talks about the highlight of her career, appearing at the Royal Albert Hall, how she was going to have an arranged marriage, she hates the internet and much much more!
15th May 2005: Various NewsThe Enterprise has now aired in the U.S. Various reviews can be found online but I prefer to wait until it is shown in the U.K. in August. Why do other countries have to be so behind in getting U.S. TV shows?!
Apparently Marina is only in Crash for literally a few seconds, but I still want to see it!
Also, Marina's Official Forum has been replaced with a new one. I like it, but all previous content has been lost. This means any links on news items below no longer work.

 22nd April 2005: Image from Enterprise Finale
An image is now available from the Enterprise finale featuring Marina and Jonathan! I can't wait to see this episode, hopefully someone in America will be able to record it for me when it's shown! The rumours I spoke about last month are in fact true, it seems. Parts of the Enterprise Finale are set during Pegasus, a season 7 TNG episode!
There is also a hilarious TV Guide on-set interview with Marina and Jonathan, you must read it!
You can read the interview HERE.

13th March 2005: Lots of News!Sorry about the delay in posting these pieces of news!
I am very excited about Marina returning to Star Trek once more, even though it is Enterprise and I'm not a fan.  But she's appearing with Jonathan Frakes and I bet Marina's going to enjoy that. The current likely rumour is that it's set on the Enterprise-D, and Riker's running a holodeck programme about the previous Enterprise. Quite odd that it wouldn't be set after Nemesis and Marina and Jonathan would have to appear younger for their roles. But this rumour may not be 100% true, we'll see, still very exciting, yay!
Marina's brother and his wife have had a baby boy, making Marina an Auntie, aw!

And, Marina is in a film soon to be released in the U.S. entitled Crash. It's going to be having a cinematic release, and it stars Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton and Ryan Phillippe. It's a small role, going on what I've heard, but it'll be wonderful to see Marina in a non-Trek big screen role! Here's the plot outline: A Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian store owner. Two police detectives who are also lovers. An African-American television director and his wife. A Mexican locksmith. Two car-jackers. A rookie cop. A middle-aged Korean couple... They all live in Los Angeles. And during the next 36 hours, they will all collide...

30th October 2004: Spectres UpdateSorry this news is a month old, but certainly deserves a place on here, Marina won an award!
 "The ghost story feature film SPECTRES, starring STAR TREK actress Marina Sirtis ('Deanna Troi') and Linda Park ('Hoshi Sato'), garnered two top awards at the recent Shockerfest Film Festival. The horror movie, directed by Phil Leirness was named Best Science Fiction Feature and Sirtis was named Best Actress. She plays a workaholic mom caught up in supernatural circumstances. Her husband died several years ago and after her daughter's suicide attempt, she decides to take her away from it all for a few weeks. While on holiday her daughter comes into contact with a strange young man who keep vanishing into thin air. Sirtis called the film "a good story, well acted".
The festival took place between 24 and 26 September in Modesto, California and featured science fiction and horror films from various countries, including Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the United States.
A theatrical release now looks unlikely, but the movie is scheduled for a domestic video release next year."

30th January 2004: Various Marina NewsMarina will be featured in a new film titled Crash which also stars Brendan Fraser, Sandra Bullock and Don Cheadle.
This is a mainstream film, but it will only be a small part for Marina from what I've heard. Still great news, Marina is keeping very busy at the moment! "She plays a Muslim, or Hindu, or something. Can't remember what, I just know she has to wear head gear and was saying it was far away from anything she's ever played before."
Spectres World Premiere will be at the London Sci-Fi Festival on February 1. The American premiere will be at Cinequest in San Jose in March.
Marina will makeover a fan for a new show called Head to Toe on Lifetime TV. The fan has already been chosen.
There's no news of when this will air yet. It sounds fun, Marina doing a makeover on a Trekkie!

21st July 2003: Marina's Movies UpdateMarina completed filming Spectres on Sunday 6th July. And was scheduled to leave for Tulsa one week ago (14th) to begin filming 'Walk On Water'.
 Here are some extracts from a transcript of an on-line chat on 8th July on her website:
"I should also add that Michael Dorn is in my next movie which is called 'Walk on Water' and again I play the mother of a teenage son...its getting a little scary."
"A normal day of filming starts with me getting up at 5. Or earlier to be ready to start shooting at 7. In ,'Spectres' I was in almost every scene so the days were long. Some of it was very emotional so I'm still kind of getting over it."
"Both movies are independent features which means they will hopefully make it to the movie theatres. If not, they might end up on cable."
"Independent features tend not to pay a lot. Michael and I have back end deals so if the movie does eventually make some money we will get something."
"I don't have to audition for independent movies, because my name means something."

15th July 2003: Marina's Appearance at Shore LeaveThis weekend just passed (11th-13th July) Marina appeared at the Shore Leave Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

14th June 2003: New Film Roles For Marina!Marina has two film roles lined up. 'Spectre' and 'Walk on Water'!! YAY! Marina spoke of these in the members only part of her website.
 'Spectre' is a ghost story where she plays the mother of a daughter, both of which are leading roles.
Marina said this about 'Spectre'; "The story line is that my daughter tries to commit suicide and while she is "dead" (before she gets resuscitated) her body becomes inhabited by another soul who has unfinished business on earth."
The other movie she'll be making is 'Walk on Water'. This is a teen action/adventure film and Marina plays the mother of the lead character.
This is hot news straight from a message from Marina. And great news! I expect they're both television films.
