Paul Scheer says his Galaxy Quest show will have two separate casts
In August, we reported that Amazon had tapped Paul Scheer to write a TV adaptation of Galaxy Quest, the meta sci-fi comedy film that was essentially about the cast of a Star Trek show going on a real space adventure. We didn’t know anything about Scheer’s version at the time, but there were rumors that producers were in talks with the original cast—which included Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Daryl Mitchell, and Sam Rockwell, along with the late Alan Rickman. Now, though he’s still hesitant to say too much, Scheer has offered some new details about his Galaxy Quest.
