"Trek Nation", the long anticipated documentary from Rod Roddenberry, son of Gene Roddenberry, is currently looking for a distribution deal. Much like you, we're waiting with bated breath for it's release.

Have you seen the trailer? Sure you have. So far, it seems to live up to everything that "Trekkies" isn't. Not that we don't love "Trekkies" & "Trekkies 2", but we're looking for the more serious Trek documentary. Take away the tongue-in-cheek for once and give us the serious version of how Star Trek has changed the world.

Well according to Wil Wheaton, "Trek Nation" will definitely be worth the wait. In a recent interview with Wired magazine, Wil talks about his upcoming return to "Leverage" as well as the new Trek doc.

“Trek Nation is going to be amazing,” Wheaton said. “I know that Rod has been working on it for a long time, and I talked with him about it a great deal during production, so I feel closer to the project than any other Trek documentary. It was incredibly emotional for both of us when he interviewed me for it, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it."

We're definitely looking forward to the "Trek Nation" release, oh, and Wil's return to "Leverage" & "Eureka". Can't forget that. ;)
