Will kids be inspired by a talking proton? A filmmaker is betting on it. Using as a plot an effort to destroy the Cassini-Huygens antenna, writer/director Harry Kloor in Quantum Quest has a photon, a neutrino and two protons setting out to save the project - and the whole universe.
New Scientist has an interview with Kloor, including the struggles involved in getting actors like William Shatner, Chris Pine (so, two Captain Kirks!), Samuel L. Jackson and Amanda Peet for small(ish) budget films and criticisms from some scientists, like 'protons can't talk'.
