So I saw the new full-length trailer for the Star Trek reboot today. Anyone else looking forward to the movie? I'd post a link, but they're all bad bootlegs. I'll put one up once the high-def version is officially released. |

Is the Star Trek lineage already up to XI? I'm somewhat interested in the new movie.

Techncically up to 11, yeah. But of course for good reason, this one is just called "Star Trek". |

Somehow, I missed that one. In fact, I think I missed 9 and 10, too..... *sigh* I really need to get out more. Quantum Junction: Use both lanes

If I am not mistaken this new Star Trek is based on the old Star Trek with all the good ol' original characters played by new actors. Is that the one we are discussing? [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/[/url] Here are photo's and trailers from Internet Movie Database. I understand Leonard Nimoy has a Cameo but Shatner was left out in the cold. Simon Pegg should do a good job a Scotty. Eric Bana, I thought, was going to be Kirk but it appears he is one of the bad guys. Edited by derF on 11/15/2008 20:23 I'll drink to that. Or anything else for that matter.

As much as I like Simon Pegg, his is the casting I'm worried about them most -- not that it's a deal-breaker. In the series, at least, Scotty had qualities of irritated, exasperated, jovial, cocky, dependable, and durable, all of which I'm sure Pegg can handle. But he also had a major air of intimitation and menace to him when needed, particularly when in charge. He really struck you as someone you didn't want to mess with, even when he was in a good mood. They played it down in the movies after Doohan started getting fatter and considerably less menacing a figure. But whenever Simon Pegg tries to look intimidating it just comes across as funny, and worse, as someone you'd want to mess with just to get a rise out of. I don't know if I'll like that, but maybe I'm selling his ability short. (Though short is definately no small part of the problem here.) |

On the other hand, I love the casting of Karl Urban as Bones. |

All right, I am going off thread here but I find it eminently amusing that James Doohan's ashes were lost when the rocket that was to lift them into space malfunctioned and was lost. So, in other words, James Doohan, star of Star Trek, was Lost in Space.

Okay, that's cool: a re-addressing of the favorite story line of the series (original series). I may have to go rent the rest, though, and play catch up... Quantum Junction: Use both lanes

When I saw Bones mentioned above, my mind went off thinking about Emily Deschanel. I never thought Scotty in the old Star Treks was ever very intimidating. IMO, he never got much beyong earnest. I liked the character played by Doohan a great deal. "If I owned both Hell and Texas, I'd live in Hell and rent out Texas." - General Sheridan

I think Karl Urban would make a terrible Temperance Brennen. |

While Christmas is the traditional Star Trek Movie Release Season, they decided they had a good enough product for summer. That, or they're operating with a go big or go home attitude. Either way, they're probably right. This way they can also mop up on DVD/Blueray sales next Christmas. (Assuming anyone has any money left.) |

If you don't mind spoilers, here's something considerably juicier than the trailer. [url]http://www.comingsoon.net/news/startreknews.php?id=50627[/url] Edited by Cynic on 11/20/2008 10:22 |
