Rhom Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Enterprise A lot of noise was made on the net a few months back that the ole NCC-1701 wouldn't look like the lovely lady we all know and love. From this still (it comes from the official trailer attached to Cloverfield) I'd say I'm at least okay with the look of the ship. How I'll feel about the rest of the movie remains to be seen.

Ser Hot Pie Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I heard that the writers strike was really pissing Abrams off because he wanted to on the set re-writes of some scenes, but couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well, based on that picture it is enough like the original that I won't care. Might be the interior sets are completely different, but I wouldn't see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazydog7 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well I look at it like this if it revitalizes the serise then all is well, if however the opposite occurs and its a flop maybe the Trekies will shut up and make way for another idea.

Rhom Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm sure there are some pictures somewhere of Syler shirtless you could photoshop some ears on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli Fury Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Must resist urge to photoshop something.... I'm in favor. You can use stills from the sauna scene in So NoTorious or the hotel scene from season 2 of Heroes.....you know, if you were looking for his shirtless screen time. I am sure you can all see the thought bubbles above my head now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw that a day or so ago. I'm no Trekkie, so my question is - when was the Enterprise built compared to when Kirk took command? Weren't there at least two captains prior to Kirk - Pike and .... April(?). If so, how would building the Enterprise fit in with Kirk taking command? I suppose they could be retrofitting it or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The original USS Enterprise was launched in 2245, about twenty years before Kirk took command. It's mildly depressing that I didn't even have to look that up. As for the 'being built' thing, I gather that the idea of the trailer is that it's a metaphor for the new Star Trek film being built/shot at the moment. As I undertand it, the Enterprise itself is not under construction during the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli Fury Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 No, but here's Spock's. Here is the full trailer ETA- thank you, the sauna was a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Targaryen Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I still say they should have done New Frontier for their next movie/TV series. I guess a TV series for that is more likely. Mackenzie Calhoun on either screen would have rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 No, you just have to pay to see Cloverfield. They play it at the start of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm not a Star Trek fan at all but that trailer really made me want to see the film, along with Abrams' great reputation. Does anyone know roughly what the story is about? Who do they meet, is that known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Warpechowski Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I do hope they pull it off. Star Trek has one of the coolest setting and story, too bad the trekkies kind of ruin it. Anyway, if they manage to start a new series of movies with a more matura and modern outlook on the Star Trek universe they could be great. Just look at what they did with James Bond.

Does anyone know roughly what the story is about? Who do they meet, is that known? Eric Bana is the bad guy, which is also a major plus in my book for the movie. As far as is known: SPOILER: Star TrekThere is some kind of threat in the 'present-day' Star Trek universe (the time frame of TNG, DS9 and Voyager) which involves travelling back in time some 120 years to Kirk's first mission on the Enterprise. The present-day Ambassador Spock has to time-travel or send some kind of message back to his younger self to cope with this threat. The Romulans may be involved. Apparently the time travel shenanigans create a 'parallel history' version of Star Trek history. The writers decided to do this because it means that they're not shackled to existing Trek canon. However, the 'proper' Trek continuity still exists in the same multiverse and can still be mined for ideas. AICN posted a very different storyline which focuses on Kirk's time at the Academy, including revealing how he beat the Kobayashi Maru test, and then jumps forward to him in command of the Enterprise. However, this story has been called a load of BS by the scriptwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's so bad that Spock has to screw up the time line then doesnt that mean the 'original' time line is about to get pwned? And how is that one change going to radically change everything? Guess I'll just have to wait and see but I'd have preferred them just to do a BSG rather than have some dodgy alternate timeline. V'Ger will still be on course for Earth, as will the Probe, how are they going to explain one change in the timeline altering that? The Borg and the Dominion are so far away that any change in the Apha/Beta quadrant shoudltn affect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
