Ah, sweet! Thanks for posting that!

***Chris*** · 06-03-2008, 04:35 PM

You're welcome.

It would be nice if they'd give us some more promo material.

Spooky Spice · 06-03-2008, 06:42 PM

Yeah, like 2 more trailers.

I'm a real sucker for trailers. I live for them. Only reason to go to the movies, IMHO.

***Chris*** · 06-04-2008, 03:31 AM

A trailer with some of the actors in character would certainly be nice.

***Chris*** · 06-05-2008, 03:34 PM

Paramount is not only interested in another Star Trek sequel, but they are apparently trying to sign the contracts to bring the writers back for a follow-up

Summary

Quote:

A scene with a baby Spock.
The inside of a Federation ship that was "very shadowy and very much like that of an old diesel submarine."
A massive crowd scene of Federation graduates in a hangar, complete with old-school Trek shuttles.
A pre-command Kirk almost ready to be thrown out of Starfleet over that whole Kobayashi Maru situation. (Geeks, you know what I mean.)
McCoy, Spock and Uhura all ending up on the bridge with Captain Pike.
The ship looks functional and "Mac-like".

Trailer rumour

Quote:

Spoiler:

Paramount logo shows (newly updated) and pans up into the stars... Then an incredible (new?) musical score begins which sounds as if a little of Trek 2 and 3 scores were blended in. Switches to shots of stunning starfields. Closeups of the Enterprise hull while voice-over begins. Narration from older Spock: "The needs of the many... outweigh the needs of the few.." quick pause... Younger Spock: "Or the one" (Quintos line seemed so Leonard Nimoy sounding!)Switch to shot of Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto standing together looking over a horizon at the Enterprise on Earth with an epic city in the background.

The classic Trek overture begins (sounds far more symphonic and far more intense). Narrator: "Next Summer Paramount Pictures Presents..." "The beginning.... of the greatest epic.... of our time" Music dramatically intensifies with numerous planets shown (special effects are mind-blowing).

Chris Pine (?) narration begins with music continuing to intensify while showing a space bound Enterprise.... "Space… "The final frontier...." Quick shots of Kirk, Spock, McCoy "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise," Quick shots of Chekov, Uhura "Its mission (no 5-year mentioned), to explore stange new worlds.." Quick shots of Scotty and Sulu "To seek out new life and new civilizations.." Jaw dropping running shot of the Enterprise about to go to warp (hairs on me are standing on end) "To bodly go where no one has gone..." "Before"

Enterprise goes into warp, but the warp effect is new with more starfield movement going to warp and then an incredible warp sound and flash as the Enteprise hits warp speed. Star Trek overture continues Then the standard "This film has not yet been rated" appears Then ...Launch Date 5-8-09

The thing the stood out most is the Enterprise looks like a well shot model. No cheapskate CGI like in Insurrection or Nemesis. Everything looks detailed and stunning and sharp and crisp. The music was sweeping.. not battle themed or dangerously themed. It would appear Paramount is gunning for the original feeling of the first Trek film as being a film of wonder and exploration, and not violent battles. Also there were no non-Enterprise crew characters shown. So it would appear they want fans to see the crew and ship and let that sink in before showing any other characters or villains.

The final summary is simply this.. THIS TRAILER DOES IT! It hits every good emotion and memory you have about Star Trek and I'm glad to see Paramount doesn't wait to show the Enterprise or Spock (new and old) until next year. They are obviously wanting fans to drool over this trailer. It is clearly the best trailer for Star Trek ever.. ah heck, for any Paramount film ever. The one thing this trailer fails to do is make this film seem cheap, or chopped, or thrown together like so many films today. It truly feels like a 70s or 80s film where it was an event to see a film at the theater. Its obvious that JJ Abrams and team have done justice for the Star Trek universe. Wow, I never thought Id say it, but not since First Contact in 1996 have I been giddy to see a Star Trek film.

Note: other sources claim this is fake.

Sounds exciting.

I know everyone is drooling over the movie, but I think I'd be happier if they were launching a new Trek series on television to capitalize on the movie's fame.

***Chris*** · 07-05-2008, 02:03 PM

Well, I figure if the movie is successful it's more likely that we'll get another series. That would open another can of worms though since the movie actors probably wouldn't want to come to the grind of weekly tv, but that's who new fans would expect to see.

**~*Nikki*~** · 07-05-2008, 03:12 PM

Well I'd prefer another series in the TNG/DS9/VOY timeline myself, I really don't have much interest in TOS timeline. I never could get into it.

But of course I'm going to see this film, I mean JJ Abrams and Trek? I'm there.

IAWTP. I couldn't get into TOS, except for the movies, either.

***Chris*** · 07-05-2008, 05:00 PM

TOS does seem rather dated now, but it was filmed 40 years ago, so that's to be expected. Having said that, I have a hard time watching TOS now.

**~*Nikki*~** · 07-05-2008, 07:12 PM

Well I first got into Trek when TNG was running so I watched that first. Now had I watched TOS first I might feel differently.

I did enjoy the TOS movies though, all of them were pretty good.

I'm dreading this film. And if they make a follow-up then they'll really bring the rot into the Trek franchise. I hope this film flops and the franchise shuts down for a while until somebody is prepared to to continue it properly.

Also, I don't get the big horror about the rumor that Tom Cruise might have a cameo. I mean, there's so much horribly wrong with this movie, a cameo by Cruise is hardly the thing to quibble about, there's plenty REAL problems with the movie to be bothered by.

And did I hear right that they're going to have the short skirts? So much change but THAT has to stay the same? 1960s sexism in the 21st century. Great. They better not put anybody in a 7 of 9 bodysuit.
