We are going to be RECASTING THIS ROLE IMMEDIATELY, as we shoot in four weeks.
Info follows. Please have incredibly-talented actresses email both me at marc at zicree.com also Tasha Hardy, our line producer, at tasha at tashahardy.com, to get reels and schedule auditions.

STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES – “WORLD ENOUGH AND TIME” – ALANA SULU
STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES is a continuation of the original STAR TREK series that airs on the Internet. To date, three full-length hour-long episodes have been produced and two aired; the site has had 30 million downloads, with over seven million hits just last month. The episode we will be filming has already been featured on the front page of the Sunday New York Times, the Today Show and NPR. CBS is flying a correspondent to the set for the shoot, and national magazines will be there, as well.
“World Enough and Time,” the fourth episode, will shoot for eight days beginning September 18, 2006 in Ticonderoga, New York, with GEORGE TAKEI reprising his role as Lt. Sulu. The script is written by STAR TREK -- THE NEXT GENERATION writers Marc Scott Zicree and Emmy-winner Michael Reaves; Zicree is directing.
We are currently casting the LEAD ROLE of ALANA SULU, Asian or mixed race (Asian-Caucasian, Asian-African American, or any exotic mix), 20s-early 30s. The character is the daughter of Lt. Sulu, the result of his being marooned on a harsh desert planet; after a life of isolation, she finds herself aboard the Enterprise, which proves a wondrous new world to her. She is beautiful, ethereal, mysterious and wonderful, with a haunting quality of emotional sensitivity and deep intelligence. She is dressed in the same wild castaway look as Sulu, but with a more feminine cast (costumes by Iain McCaig, designer of STAR WARS’ Darth Maul and Queen Amidala).
The role has no salary but actor will receive free accommodations in Ticonderoga, though they must provide their own transportation there. We can guarantee this much – it is the role of a lifetime.
