First Trek Movie Stills!

[STSF Precip 0]

I think I'll echo a few posters here when I say perhaps I can forgive some hard pills to swallow...errrr...bridge! And wait until I see the movie till I make my final judgement. But one think I will forecast with certaintity...I will be very upset if they toss canon out the window just for good or a refreshed pop look.

Errr...Wait! Are those Galactica like AA canons firing on the Kelvin Saucer section! ;)

Hey there,

 

Well, I'll go with this. Leonard Nimoy refused to be a part of Star Trek: Generations because he viewed it as horrible. The man has directed many Star Trek films and if anyone could be considered the "moral voice" of the franchise I would say him.

 

That being said, he agreed to come out of acting retirement to do this film. I think that says a lot. The man doesn't need the money, doesn't need additional fame and was enjoying life handling his photography. He has had nothing but good things to say about the script, actors, etc.

 

So...if Leonard Nimoy seems to think that the film will be good enough for him to be in it...and almost every "sneak peak reviewer" that has viewed it says "it works and stands side-by-side with the Trek that has come before," I'll be optimistic.

 

Anything that doesn't have Berman and Braga involved is a good thing. Star Trek: Enterprise started showing life in Season 4, but by that stage Manny Coto was literally running things and the damage was done.

Ok, if Leonard Nimoy agreed to do it, then I will try a little harder to be open-minded.

Hey there,

 

Today marked the start of the marketing campaign for the upcoming Star Trek movie coming out in May 2009. In addition to the below, there are reports the movie's full trailer may be attached to the upcoming James Bond movie due to be released next month.

 

As you look thru some of the links and the like, one interesting note: 75% of all FX shots are complete and the movie is actually on schedule to be "locked" by the middle of December.

 

Click on each image for the article relating to it, some giving some clues about what you are actually looking at.

 

Last warning....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Crew...

 

 

The Villian...Nero

 

 

Kirk...And A Pod.

 

 

Don't Tick Off Spock...

 

 

Oh Yes, That's The Bridge...

 

 

The U.S.S. Kelvin (pre-dates the Enterprise, see article for a link with more details)

 

 

I do think that they could have found a better person to play Scotty than The Guy from Shaun of the Dead. I know he's trying to branch out but to me it just doesn't seem right.

But I will say that I've had a crush on Spock (the one from New Voyages-Currently Phase II- www.startreknewvoyages.com) played by Jeff Quinn.

So in opinion Zach makes one steamy vulcan. ;) :wub: :wub: :wub:

On that same level, who knew that Harold/MILF guy would end up being the next Sulu?

I know him from a soap opera.... Ugly Betty. Also, no one is allowed to mock me for watching that!

Ok, I don't usually comment on things like this until AFTER I see the movie, but since that seems almost impossible, since it is more than six months from now, here is my 2 cents:

 

1) Kansas... SO RIGHT! Urban is HOT, and should pull off a perfect McCoy. Crabby looking, and very, very, commanding, but has a bit of 'yes, sir'.

 

2) I don't care if the Pope says Spock is wrong. Zachary Quinto (AKA Syler from Heroes) is an IDENTICAL match to Nimoy, EVEN NIMOY said it when they were filming! He has the face, the eyes, the voice, everything (including a HUGE deliciousness factor).

 

3) I completely agree that the ju-ju-bees should be brought back, but everyone knows that you can't keep the old diod style, floppy drive style, "BEE BOO BOP" style that my dad grew up with (he is 54, and watched TOS started at age 12, AKA 66). People my age (I am 27), who grew up with TNG, or DS9, we like the flat pretty consoles and the soft hums of the warp drive. It adds ambience to the entire scene of any episode, with the slight "OOO, AHH" ideal, without missing a second of the plot.

 

Now, my take on the cast:

1) The man who plays Kirk (Chris Pine) is the british kid from Princess Diaries 2! But he kinda looks like Kirk, and hehas the serious look all late-20's/early 30's men need. He seems to have the edge in his look that is between Kirk Puberty, and Kirk Seasoned Captain.

 

2) In TOS, Chekov was the ONLY character that had his actual age stated. It was mentioned in the Apollo episode that he was 22. I remember this because I was in love with Chekov. Sad, I know. The new guy who plays him, KNOWING Chekov the way I do, he will have to work DAMN hard to prove he is as good as Koenig.

 

3) As for Scotty, YES, it is the Shaun from Shaun of the Dead. YES, he is a little bizarre, but come on! Scott was bizarre! Over dramatic, paniccy, twitchy! He is a perfect fit for the role! Nevermind the receding hairline and the fact he is the ONLY red shirt to NOT die on the show... Shaun of the Dead is the PERFECT fit!

 

4) McCoy... Ok, Urban seems a bit.. ok WAY Off, but work with me on this! He can play ANYTHING. The Rocks sidekick in DOOM, Eomer from Lord of the Rings, the bad guy against Riddick in Chronicles of Riddick, and you never knew it was him! So why can't he pull off the cantankerous, moody, angry looking McCoy? I based part of my char on McCoy, why can't he?!

 

5) Harold as Sulu! YES! Err..NO! Err.. CRAP! I don't have an opinion. Sulu was never my cup of tea. As long as he can press a button and stare blankly ahead, I think he is a good fit!

 

6) Uhura. I have no idea who the chick who plays her is, but as long as she's got that cute smile and the funny looking ear piece that looks liek a miniaturized microphone, BRING IT!

 

Ok, that was more than two cents, but whatever! LOL!

YES-the movie is strange and freakly at the same time-Pike with Kirk,kirk took over enterprise after pike leaves-where is number one.....<are they counting the cage or not>older spock doing live long and prosper;what happened to boyce,and the other doctor.....the actor who is on heroes does look like nimoy -i wonder if VULCAN does blow up and Spock is the only vulcan left-no more amok time,journey to babel<THE BEST VULCAN SHOWS of tos>--IT WILL be interesting to see nimoy as spock again <WILL HE die again or doesn,t exsist in the new universe>

Hey, at least they didn't change the sexes and races of the main characters and turn some of them into Cylons.
