• Another Star Trek Deleted Scene Surfaces

  As the DVD/Blu-ray release date approaches, more deleted Star Trek scenes are finding their way online. Last week's scene saw Nero (Eric Bana) escape from a Klingon prison.

  This week we get to see Kirk's apology to the green-skinned Orion Gaila (Rachel Nichols). Only it looks like Kirk can't tell his Orions apart and Diora Baird is the victim of Kirk's intergalactic ignorance.

• 30 Days of Night: Dark Days Cast Revealed

  The cast of the upcoming sequel to 30 Days of Night has been divulged, just in time for the month-long shoot in Vancouver, which starts today. 30 Days of Night: Dark Days will follow Stella (played by Melissa George in the original) as she travels to Los Angeles to join a group of vampire hunters and seek revenge against those who attacked her town and killed her husband.

  Bloody-Disgusting revealed the cast list, which includes Mia Kirshner (The L Word) as the lead vampire Lillith, Harold Perrineau (28 Weeks Later), Diora Baird (the upcoming Night of the Demons), Kiele Sanchez (A Perfect Getaway), Monique Ganderton, and Rhys Coiro (Entourage) in an unspecified lead role.

  There's still no word on whether George will return as Stella, though 30 Days creator Steve Niles wants her back for the sequel.

• Diora Baird Auditions for Thor

  

  Twitter is fast becoming the best source for the latest movie news. Like Clifton Collins Jr. before her, Diora Baird, the model who transitioned into acting with Wedding Crashers and the upcoming Night of the Demons, used her Twitter feed to announce her audition for Kenneth Branagh's Thor:

  Had an audition for the movie Thor today. Character description was "pretty, but sturdy with muscle". Damn type casting.

  When asked by Chud what role she was auditioning for, Baird said she was sworn to secrecy:

  I cant say. I'll go to jail. For real. Had to sign my soul away.

  A good guess would be that Baird is up for the role of Asgardian sorceress The Enchantress, considering that Natalie Portman will play Thor's love interest, though it's possible Baird is auditioning for Sif, another love interest of Thor's.
