New Star Trek filum

[Augie March]

I'm looking forward to this. Personally, the Trek films have always felt like they've been a bit weighed down by the stigma and the baggage of the series. With this film, it's looking like Abrhams is able to let rip with some great characters and create a whole new world with them. I'm hoping it works.

I'd forgotten that Sylar was playing Spock.

Looks fun - the JJ Abrams connection can't be bad

Simon Pegg is playing Scotty.....
....This could be a good thing, geographically speaking, at least Pegg is from the same land mass, whereas the guy who played the original (I forgot the name-never liked TOS) was Canadian...

Anyway it looks wicked cool.

^This. Thank the good lord that they've stopped flogging the dead horse that is the TNG crew.

I feel really sorry for the people who've done the continuity for this film, knowing that as it's a prequel any tiny flaw in the canon will get spotted by hordes of rabid internet nutjobs. There's a shitload of trek episodes they have to try not to contradict...

 

[The Unseen]

The bit at the start is awful isn't it, about always knowing your slightly different etc..

blaaa

young kirk

there should be no "young kirk"...it will ruin the older kirk's legacy

 

[The Octagon]

Newest Trailer (being shown with Watchmen in the US at least)

I know trailers aren't always representative of a good film, but damn this looks impressive.

Eric Bana looks like he could steal the film too -"Fire Everything!"

I just watched the trailer at the above link... and got very excited

 

[ajk]

Still not keen on new Kirk, but it still smells of awesome.

 

[derf]

So when is it due out?

I'm having wet dreams about it here.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

may

 

[derf]

may

Yipppeeeeee. If it's out on the first there will be a pirate on the second.
If there are any DVD advance copies around it will be available now.

<Buggers off to check out the pirate DVD sellers.>

If ever there was a scene shot solely to put in a trailer I reckon that was it. Who the fuck announces their middle name when they get busted by the hover-plod? Who the fuck gives their real name at all?

Especially when their middle name is Tiberius!

 

[cliche guevara]

Just booked my tickets. The trailers I've seen are leaing me feeling that this is either going to be massively awesome, or horribly shite. Either way, it's going to provoke a reaction.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I usually hate Star Trek, and I think this film is going to be the absolute mutt's nuts.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier contains the best line in cinema history:

"Uh, God, excuse me, I have a question."

It was almost Ghostbusteresque in its greatness.

Apparently it has been very well received by the critics. Which considering it's a Star Trek film, is very encouraging indeed.

even the Daily Wail give it a 5 star review.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Oh, and what will all the typical presumptive types on here who were slagging off Simon Pegg for being in this say when they realise it's actually really good?

I reckon he's going to be really good in it
I am so looking forward to Thursday (2 more sleeps)

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

It's gonna do for Star Trek what Batman Begins did for Batman and Casino Royale for Bond.

Reboots=Win (BB, CR)
Prequels=Fail (Wolverine, Star Wars, Temple of Doom)

As i was seriously traumatised as a kid by that Star Trek film the one where they put a centipede thing in the helmet and it killed him *rocks backwards and forwards* i have never had any interest in ST films...until now..

Now i am super excited about going to see this and i cant wait to see Mr. Quinto with his new eyebrows as i suspect they are going to be as sexy as his normal ones. I have read that Chris Pine sucks ass but well i suspect die hard fans were never going to be happy unless it was shatner or shatners clone child playing the role.

Other than that i know nothing about ST and so hopefully it will enlighten me.

Saw an interview with the writers of the new film - apparently they're thinking of bringing KHAAAAAAAAAAAN back, and getting Javier Bardem to play him.

Beacause they cast a hispanic guy last time? Khan's supposed to be an Indian Sikh iirc.

Yup, that's right.

humm

The Eugenics Wars (or the Great Wars) were a series of conflicts fought on Earth in the mid-1990s. The result of a scientific attempt to improve the Human race through selective breeding and genetic engineering, the wars devastated parts of Earth, by some estimates officially causing some 30 million deaths, and nearly plunging the planet into a new Dark Age.

reboot needed?
