This new-old Star Trek flick is really starting to come together. According to the Hollywood Reporter, director J.J. "Just Jenius" Abrams has picked Drumline knockout Zoe Saldana to play Uhura. If he somehow includes "Uhura's Song," I may have to go all fanboy on him. In other movie news, per Variety, Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal are about to be perfectly cast as sibs in Jim Sheridan's Brothers, about a soldier (Spider-Man) whose ne'er-do-well bro (Donnie Darko) looks after his family while he's in Afghanistan.

Tobey Maguire and Samuel Jackson
The lines were longer than ever at this year's Comic-Con International, the annual celebration of all things geeky. Just ask the thousands of Battlestar Galactica fans who waited en masse outside of Ballroom 20 to see their favorite Cylons and colonials in the flesh. Meanwhile, the queue for New Line's special Snakes on a Plane presentation snaked (ha ha ha) out the door and down the side of the massive convention center. There are only two possible explanations for the sheer number of people who invaded San Diego for that weekend: 1) Nerds have learned how to clone themselves or 2) Geek culture is now mainstream culture. Either way, Comic-Con '06 was one for the ages. Here are some of the highlights and lowlights of the four-day extravaganza.

The Missing: Tobey Maguire
Question: I'm hoping you can help me solve a little mystery that has been driving me nuts for years. I'm a big fan of Empire Records, with Liv Tyler, a then-unknown Renée Zellweger and others. Tobey Maguire is listed in the credits and he's talked about the movie in interviews, mainly in the context of working on it during a very difficult time in his life and being absent from the set a lot. My friends and I have watched the movie — both the original and the extended-DVD versions — more times than I can tell you, but we've never been able to locate him! Does he actually appear in it and, if so, where?
Answer: Tobey Maguire, then 19 and the product of a rootless upbringing and
