But the film’s greatest achievement isn’t its story line or the acting–it’s the animations of the solar system that will captivate audiences both young and old. The film will have a major release in IMAX theaters in February 2010, where it will be shown in 3D (the admittedly unfinished draft we saw was only in 2D). Quantum Quest will probably appear mostly in science museums, and it represents a leap forward in movies of this kind. The imagery of the inner planets, the rings of Saturn, and the Kuiper belt near the edge of the solar system are stunning, and extremely accurate. Based on information from a variety of NASA missions, the film actually identifies on screen which mission provided information about which solar system body. Where was this movie when I was 12? I can easily see this production giving a big boost to kids’ curiosities about space.

Did you know there is a movie coming out that features both Kirks, Chris Pine and William Shatner plus Brent Spiner, Robert Picardo, Mark Hamill and other vets of Star Trek and sci-fi? It is the 3-D animated film Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey which is has a panel at Comic-Con Thursday. Writer-producer Harry Kloor gave TrekMovie a preview, including exclusive first look at images.

Take a trip through the solar system w/ the voices of Trek & Sci-Fi Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey is a 3-D sci-fi animated film that will be shown in IMAX theaters in 2010, primarily in museums and science centers. The film is written and directed by Dr. Harry Kloor, scientist with PhDs in both Physics and Chemistry, who when he is not teaching at NASA Ames has been also worked in Hollywood for the last couple of decades, including selling some stories to Star Trek Voyager. The project started at NASA and JPL as an idea for a video to educate the public about the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan, but Kloor tells TrekMovie it “quickly expanded way beyond that.” The project moved out of NASA to become a privately funded feature film, but NASA is still involved providing expertise. Kloor says that this makes
Quantum Quest a “science-fiction action-adventure film that also integrates real science discoveries and real science thoughts and ideas.” The goal of the film is to create a film with real science education, but works as a form of entertainment that appeals to a wide audience, especially kids, teenagers and young adults. “I am trying to make photons and neutrinos as exciting as dinosaurs” says Kloor.

Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey is an animated film that makes use of data from NASA Cassini mission. The movie tells the story of Dave, a solar surfing photo who battles his way through the solar system to save the Cassini probe from evil aliens.

Twelve years in the making, Quantum Quest has cycled through at least a couple of voice casts. At last year Comic Con Quantum Quest panel, producer Harry “Doc Kloor, a scientist and veteran science fiction writer, announced that he had lined up Digimax Inc., a Taiwanese animation studio, as his partner to finish the film.
