"It's a horror film and a thriller," McNeill explained. "The premise is similar to 'The Big Chill.' A bunch of friends get back together for the funeral of a friend they grew up with, and reminisce about their high school teenage years. The movie has a killer mystery element to it as well -- the friends start getting killed one by one." At the recent Women of Voyager convention (see Media, below), Roxann Dawson (VGR: Torres) announced that she would direct the seventh episode of Enterprise. She previously directed two Voyager episodes, and has expressed interest in furthering her directing career.

The series features a Pullitzer Prize-winning journalist who joins a tabloid of questionable taste to investigate the paranormal. Takei described his role in the series' third episode "Here There Be Dragons," on his web site as "...a Chinese immigrant father whose daughter, it is suspected, might be involved with a dragon inhabiting the sewers of Chinatown." Biggs, meanwhile, will appear in an episode later in the season entitled "Bring Me the Head of Tucker Burns," as someone hunted by a headless biker.

The series, set in 1849, will air on Saturdays at 8:00, premiering with a two-hour telefilm. PAX has experienced considerable success airing "Bonanza" reruns on the self-described family-friendly network, and is hoping to further capitalize on the series' popularity.
