William Shatner launches sci-fi social network site

Washington, 13 Mar: Actor William Shatner has launched a new social network website, MyOuterSpace.com, aimed at science fiction, horror and fantasy fans who want to make a career in the science fiction industry.

The Canadian, who is best remembered for playing Captain James T. Kirk on television series Star Trek, hopes to recruit skilled people in the field of science fiction.

"Register on the planet that hosts your talent, fill out a profile and connect with others in your field. Submit your resume for a Starship project that needs your talents. Whether you are an actor, writer, animator or gamer MyOuterSpace.com has a home for you," Fox News quoted him as saying.

The network is divided into 12 categories covering different aspects of science fiction.

It includes ‘Planets’ that represent the entertainment arts, while the one for designers and animators is called ‘Anteros’.

The category for writers and directors is called ‘Creatia’.

Shatner explained the six Starships are virtual production companies, each with a project being made into a film, stage or animated production.

Shatner added: "I will be monitoring all Starship projects, and reviewing each Captain's Log, where progress will be recorded each step of the way.”
