It's amazing how busy Takei is these days, yet somewhere along the way he managed to voice a character in the new animated film from Laika Entertainment titled Kubo and the Two Strings. The name of his character is not yet known, but the story is about a boy, gods, monsters, and a magical suit of armor. We take a quick peek at the project, Takei, and the director.

Star Wars VIII director Rian Johnson reviews J.J. Abrams Star Trek | To Be Takei coming first to DirecTV

Star Wars VIII director Rian Johnson reviews J.J. Abrams Star Trek
While J.J. Abrams is behind the camera of Star Wars Episode VII, he will not be directing the eighth installment of the franchise. That honor goes to Rian Johnson, who will also be calling the shots on Episode IX. So it's looking like the new Star Wars trilogy might be more of a "Johnson Joint" than an Abrams one. Back in May 2009, Johnson guested on the /Filmcast to review J.J.'s first Star Trek outing. Slashfilm has brought the episode back to the surface now that the two directors will share a franchise, and it's an interesting look back at when Star Trek was first rebooted.
To Be Takei coming first to DirecTV
George Takei is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu on The Original Series, and in recent years he has become one of the most vocal members of the original cast. A champion for human rights and equality, Takei uses his Star Trek notoriety to make a difference in the world. With more than 7 million Facebook fans, Takei actively connects with us all daily. A new documentary titled To Be Takei will chronicle the life of the actor from his childhood in a World War II internment camp through his work on Star Trek and beyond. The documentary, which opens in theatres August 22, will premiere on DirecTV first and run from July 3 through the 5th to give fans an early peek.
