TrekWeb.com - Jeri Ryan Will Play Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat Webseries

Quote:

Jeri Ryan has confirmed on her twitter feed that she will once again be playing Sonya Blade, alongside Michael Jan White as Jax in the upcoming Mortal Kombat webseries..

Ryan and White both starred in Kevin Tancharoen's unofficial "Rebirth" trailer last year, which garnered the attention of Warner Bros. and led to Tancharoen cowriting and directing an official new Mortal Kombat digital series.

How did I miss this considering I follow her on twitter

kiamay · 02-12-2011, 02:41 PM

Oh yes, Jeri Ryan, saw her on Law and Order the other day...

And Mortal Combat? Hmmm... not sure what to think.

**crazy_diamond** · 02-13-2011, 05:18 AM

same thinking Kia...

***Chris*** · 02-13-2011, 12:43 PM

It's not something I'll be interested in, but I guess as long as it keeps her busy.

**crazy_diamond** · 02-13-2011, 02:05 PM

it would be different for her

sum1 · 02-14-2011, 04:13 PM

Mortal Kombat? Can do without. Ryan is welcome to it and they're welcome to her.

Wes&FredFan · 02-15-2011, 09:39 PM

Yeah. I was thrilled! Nana Visitor is so cool ... and I'm thrilled she and Rene are doing a convention together and (HUGE OMG moment here

) will be performing/reading an Odo/Kira scene together!

Only my lingering O/K fantasies come to life, LOL!

Too bad I can't make the convention

.

Regarding my icon -- I'm such a Callian fangirl

. I've always loved Tim Roth. His accent - adorable. At first, I couldn't get into Lie to Me, but then it grew on me. Now I totally ship Cal and Gillian.

**crazy_diamond** · 02-16-2011, 04:37 AM

and that is a OMG moment..

TrekWeb.com - Chase Masterson on Leeta, Deep Space Nine, Conventions and Other Projects

Quote:

What would you like to think Leeta is doing now?

Masterson: Now that Leeta has a position of influence, as the First Lady of the Ferengi Alliance, I’d like to think she’s working to help people who need it. There certainly were a lot of Bajoran war orphans, much like Leeta was. And there were countless Bajorans who were displaced due to the occupation and so many who lost family members. The war left untold wreckage…physical, spiritual, emotional, psychological, financial. Loyalty was a huge part of Leeta’s inner character, and I can’t imagine her leaving her own people behind now that she has the authority and means to help. So I’m thinking that Leeta is using her role as wife of the Grand Nagus to get some good things done, and at the same time be an example to the Ferengi Empire that money isn’t what really counts. I know, lotsa luck on that one, Leeta!

Is Trek something you now consider in the past or have the experiences allowed you to work on your natural acting talent? And if the opportunity arises would you want to test yourself again in the Trek franchise?

Masterson: If playing Leeta did anything that impacts my current career, it’s that I’m attracted to playing characters who are much darker, earthier, deeper than she was allowed to show. I’m not the kind of actress who likes to be typecast or pigeonholed. I liked Leeta in many ways, but if I were offered a new role in Trek, I’d be happiest if it were entirely opposite of who she was.

At the time the show was ending and final filming done, were there rumors around the set that the show could come back? It looks like they were hoping so by ending it the way they did. Also, any chance at this point it could come back?

Masterson: We get this question a lot, and sad to say, there’s definitely no chance that DS9 will come back now. Trek is headed in a whole new direction, and the writers and cast of DS9 have all moved on, too. I think for a while they may have liked to leave the possibility of an MOW a tiny bit open, but I think they always knew that it was too expensive a show to remount, and that the Next Gen storylines and characters were really the more mainstream ones that they would continue to explore.
