Star Trek Into Darkness (The Big Bad Star Trek (X)II Thread)

[Brónach 1,330]

It bothers me too.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

I think that's purely a case when a TV series makes the plunge to film for the first time. Even so, that hasn't happened for anything major in decades, unless you count stuff like Pokemon: The Movie.

[Ollie 1,375]

Well you're going to a theatre to watch it and the previews make it clear, what else do you need?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I suspect teenagers these days don't even know they're at the theater.

I've yet to see one watch a movie in one!

[Ollie 1,375]

I did that from time to time as a teenager.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Yeah, but these new teenagers aren't even doing fun things while not watching a movie.

They are staring at their screens!

Also back on topic, what are the odds the American trailer coming out Tuesday will have Michael Giacchino's music over it?

[Ollie 1,375]

I wouldn't expect it to.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

blume you failed on Star Trek the Voyage Home, they do indeed Voyage Home, it gets a check mark.

and clearly in 1979 Star Trek the Motion Picture was title such because it was a tv series going to film, which was a very very rare event at the time.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Oh...you're right Joey. I forgot the whole Bird of Prey flight back!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

it was all based on Spock's guess which Kirk trusted more than most people's facts.

[Wojo 2,458]

THERE WAS A FIRE FIGHT!

[Jay 46,245]

LOL Wojo

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

New clip from the movie:

[Edit] Going from the clip to looking at the terrible images in the news right now, something tells me Into Darkness may get delayed due to its story.

[Brónach 1,330]

In the news? What the hell happened?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Explosions at the Boston marathon.

[Wojo 2,458]

I hope all our Boston friends and their loved ones are ok.

[Brónach 1,330]

Do I have your attention now?

I don't think they'll delay the film. It's an expensive one and distributors fight over release dates.

[Wycket 36]

How would a bombing in Boston effect the release of a science fiction movie about humans and aliens traveling around the galaxy?

This film will not get delayed, nor will any other. Its a tragic event, but unless something larger unravels I severely doubt any movies will be delayed because of it.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

The public goes ape shit over anything remotely similar to real events in the media. Phone Booth was delayed like a year because of the Montgomery County snipers. Gangster Squad wasn't only delayed, but rewritten and reshot because of the Colorado theater shooting.

Regardless of what it is, I'll never understand the need to censor artistic expression because something similar just so happened to occur recently in the real world. It's a movie.

[Brónach 1,330]

I don't understand it either.

[Ollie 1,375]

The last Batman film didn't delay it's premier. They respectfully toned down the pomp and circumstance but the film still opened on time.

Going by the previews, Iron Man 3 would face a similar issue as well, but Trek is a month away from opening so I can't see them putting the brakes on a big summer flick.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

What happened that would cause The Dark Knight Rises to have been delayed?

[Brónach 1,330]

Nothing, because the Dark Knight shooting happened in a theather when the film had already been released. Unless he's referring to something else.

On STID: I have read some spoilers and things and the story of the film doesn't seem to be simple and I can't quite figure it out. I wonder what's going on in the film

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

New domestic trailer was supposed to be out today.

Possibly not at this point.

[Jay 46,245]

Well, here's the new trailer!

I'm at work so can't listen, can someone please comment on the music used?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Finally! The trailer we have all been waiting for!

Music was decent as far as epic trailers go. Not giacchino.

The movie looks visually majestic.

[Jay 46,245]

Looks like a fucking awesome action-packed thrill ride!

I'm sure all the long-time Trekkies will be referring to it as STINO though....

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Watched it twice. After three utterly disappointing teasers trailers I can finally say:

LOVE IT!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

the boston bombing should not effect any of the summers film releases. there is no apparent connection.

[Jonesy 55]

WOW! This one is more exciting than the previous trailers.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

My god...that new Starfleet ship...is...big.

Looks like an Excelsior met the Sovereign Class (Enterprise-E) and had an American sized baby.

[Delorean90 47]

Wow, what is even going on...looks like it could be quite good. I'm definitely done now, though; no new videos until I actually see the film.

[Brónach 1,330]

I seriously hope that "I'm sorry" line is not out of context because it's awesome.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I liked it too.

[Wojo 2,458]

So the new Enterprise wasn't big enough, they had to create a Starfleet ship even larger. These filmmakers clearly chose the wrong era of Trek to dabble in.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I wasn't aware the new enterprise had a set size.

It seems to shrink and grow scene to scene.

[Jay 46,245]

Awesome fan art by Paul Shipper

http://paulshipperstudio.com/blog/2013/4/16/star-trek

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

That's the best fan poster I've seen by far.

[Jay 46,245]

Hopefully he makes one for Into Darkness

[Wojo 2,458]

I want that as album art.

[Jay 46,245]

We think alike!

[Brónach 1,330]

I wonder if the "Darkness" in the film is an actual thing.

[Delorean90 47]

Paul Shipper is awesome. I remember seeing his art on Indiana Jones fansites over the years.

[Rachael Foley 10,164]

I'm sure all the long-time Trekkies will be referring to it as STINO though....

?

[Delorean90 47]

Star Trek In Name Only

[Rachael Foley 10,164]

Abrams films have more likable characters than any of the TNG films.

[Ollie 1,375]

This was my most anticipated film of the summer before this trailer, I think I may have Cumberbatched my pants.

meaning?

[Ollie 1,375]

What happened that would cause The Dark Knight Rises to have been delayed?

The Aurora shooting at the midnight showing last year.

You didn't like it?
