[size=7]Majel Barrett-Roddenberry To Play Computer Voice In New Star Trek Movie December 10, 2008[/size]



In another nod to Star Trek history, it has just been officially announced that Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, will reprise her role as the voice of the computer for the Enterprise in JJ Abrams 2009 Star Trek movie. The news came late tonight in a brief mention in Variety.




The entirety of the Variety story:

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry will reprise her role as the voice of the starship Enterprise computer in J.J. Abrams’ upcoming "Star Trek" feature. She’s voiced the role in four "Star Trek" TV series and three films.

The late announcement of the casting of Barrett-Roddenberry is likely due to the sound mix being the last element of post production before Paramount puts the film in the can, awaiting the May 2009 release.

It’s not Star Trek without Majel doing the computer
Majel Barrett Roddenberry has been part of Star Trek since the first pilot "The Cage" where she played ‘Number One.’ Although that role was not carried over to the main series, she did get a recurring role on the show as Nurse Chapel and also played Deanna Troi’s mother Lwaxana Troi on The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.

Majel Roddenberry’s most prolific Trek work was providing voice work as computers, mostly for the various Enterprises. She also provided voice work as Federation and ship computers for all five Trek series and four feature films, and even the Animated Series. Here is a nice tribute video to Roddenberry’s voice work over Star Trek history



Like the casting of Leonard Nimoy as Spock, the inclusion of Roddenberry in the new film is surely to be very popular with Star Trek fans and is certainly a nice nod to Trek history by the film makers.

That makes two familiar things that will be in this movie.
But, if I remember correctly, Majel wasn't the voice of the computer in TOS.
But she was in TNG/VOY/DS9.
