mcdaid72000 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Personally I think they should not make a Star Trek XI because they are going backwards most people are probably expect to see William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock since they are so old they can't use them. If they go on to make XI I do not think I will watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 oh the irony of Matt Damon playing Capt Kirk in the new film as a member of Star Fleet, afterall Damon is now 37 he's older than Shatner was when he started playing Kirk.yeah that makes sense, yes Im being negative, but Im also pointing out the stupidity being shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,198 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I hate to see Abrams and Giacchino waste their talent to such a hopelessly outdated and milked series as Star Trek.Enough Star Trek already!Seriously, I don't get it. The Trek universe is big and varied enough for a hundred more movies. If anything, they just have to stop doing the same thing over and over again. What about a murder mystery based in the Trek universe? They could even pull of a romantic comedy if they liked. And they wouldn't need any big stars or characters known from the TV series... all they'd need is some courage and some fresh ideas.Marian - still looking forward to this.

robthehand 3 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 No, I think they'd be terribly cast, but I also think they're just rumours. Rumours I don't believe.The only one that sounds even vaguely plausible is McAvoy... but then, it would just so so *wrong* if Scotty had a real Scottish accent.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 This thread has become somewhat redundant anyway, since we already knew J.J. Abrams might direct long before the press announcement came along, and that Giacchino would score.Consider Neil's thread with the press release the "official" thread (or whatever you want to call it).

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 UPDATE: August 8, 2007Anton Yelchin (18 yrs old) is in negotations to play Pavel Chekov. Incidentally the movie will begin shooting Nov. 5. Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...43c401da6415f43----------------------------------------July 26, 2007Poster hereThe ReportCinematical just posted an exclusive report about the Paramount Pictures presentation today at the San Diego Comic-Con and here is the excerpts regarding the Star Trek XI (or simply "Star Trek") panel attended by producer/director J.J. Abrams, star Zachary Quinto [new Spock] and legendary Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy.Abrams: "We're desperately trying to figure out how to fit Shatner, and it needs to be worthy of him and the movie. So we're on that. And we're looking for a Kirk. Do you guys have any ideas for Kirks? Anyone?" asked Abrams, revealing that the new Kirk has yet to be cast. They start shooting in November.Love the poster, for its simplicity, harkening back to the olden days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdog1 50 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm very curious as too how much time will be spent in the past and how much in "present" time. Before or after ST: Generations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaderbait1 1 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm really not sure how to feel about this. I was kind of leery of the direction they were taking this, and now it will take place in two different time frames? Is Spock going to be narrating a story to someone or something? GOd I hope not...But I guess anything would be better than the direction the franchise WAS going in. If it sucks its not like we've missed out on anything.

Too bad he's no longer with us...No one else ever played Sarek (well apart from that guy in Trek 5, who had only one word of dialogue, which sounded like it was dubbed by Lenard).But Lenard was better in TNG then Nimoy was.

Greg1138 3 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Probably because Lenard was given good material. Nimoy, sadly, wasn't....and it resulted in one big missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time frames are never simply linear with him.I'd be surprised if Spock doesn't die of poisoning in the first five minutes and then we flashback to the beginning.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm not sure Nimoy would agree to reprise Spock if it would not be an important part of the film, rather then a fan pleasing cameo. He refused to be in Generations for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
