rokhed00 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 A load of ex Star Trek actors have gotten together and are making some all new Trek exclusive to the internet. Full details Trailer Doesn't look half bad.
gaggle64 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 So, is this a spoof-Star Trek project or what?
rokhed00 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 So, is this a spoof-Star Trek project or what? Looks to be serious, just look at the people involved.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I'm not normally into not official stuff, but i've watched and enjoyed New Voyages, so i'll give this a try I suppose. EDIT- The trailer looks rather good. Awesome looking CGI work, and Garry Graham! He was great as Soval. He needs to be more well known.
rokhed00 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 More details on the official Trek site. http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/19255.html
Cube Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 At least the actors know what us Trek fans want. A darker version of trek, set in a different universe, with familiar faces. Can't wait.

Cube Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 new voyages? http://www.newvoyages.com/ Fan-made sequel to The Original Series.
Happenstance Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Obviously that Of Gods and Men is supposed to be intentionally cheesy but I think its a bit too much for my tastes so i'll stick with normal trek. Just watching the DS9 pilot as im typing this, I really cant stand Avery Brooks acting.
Konfucius Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I'm totally excited for this project. There are so many well known ST actors in it and Tim Russ is directing. I think he also directed some Episodes of Voyager so he should bring enough experience to this project. The Trailer looks very promising and has a lot of substance to it. I'm also glad they got the sets from New Voyages because it wouldn't look that convincing if everything was made on a blue-screen (--> Hidden Frontier).
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 This isn't really on-topic, but it's so utterly immpressive I had to show you guys. Shots from the remastered Doomsday Machine. The Remastered Constellation: The old Constellation: Remastered Ent vs. the Doomsday Machine: Old Ent vs. the Doomsday Machine: Remastered Ent towing the Constellation: Old Ent towing the Constellation: Remastered Shuttle leaving hanger bay: Old Shuttle leaving hanger bay: Remastered Constellation entering the Doomsday Machine: It airs this weekend in the states.
Happenstance Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I havent got around to seeing one of those remastered versions yet, I really should. Hopefully the Sci-Fi channel over here will actually start airing them at some point.
Cube Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I havent got around to seeing one of those remastered versions yet, I really should. Hopefully the Sci-Fi channel over here will actually start airing them at some point. They are ace. Only a few scenes have different camera angles, but other than that (and fixing common problems like phasers) it's mostly similar, bar visual upgrades (backrounds, ships, planets, etc). It's the most faithful remastering so far.
rokhed00 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 Isn't there some new Star Trek magazine with a free DVD with the remastered versions?
Cube Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Isn't there some new Star Trek magazine with a free DVD with the remastered versions? It's the original remastered versions (the ones on Sci-Fi- basically the DVD is the original ones with a cleaned up-image. Other than that, no changes (so, no CGI, no new backgrounds, no HD, etc)
flameboy Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 well used to watch star trek loads when I was a kid have kind of grown out if but watched this, was kinda funny, lack of budget is obvious. like the comms woman from TOS (uhrua or something really can't remember) acting like some kind of oracle, but one thing the matrix music made it seem cheesier rather than tense!
