Cube Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Isnt that Christmas Day it's scheduled to releaseon? Yup. Xmas 2008. Crazy.
Cube Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Errr... are they insane? They have to be to make this movie.
Slaggis Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 They have to be to make this movie. lol, very true. I wonder how well it will do? I suppose there's to many huge fanboys for it to fail.
Cube Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 I suppose there's to many huge fanboys for it to fail. If you take away those who lost interest in new stuff after Enterprise and Nemesis, then take away those who hate the idea of as re-imagination, you'll end up with a small figure.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Gary Sinise (SNEEEZE) as McCoy is a masterful stroke, imo. I still can't see Damon being Kirk though. Also, who is going to play Scotty/Welshy? Just because Sinise is a pr0 actor doesn't mean he's right for this role. Damon as Kirk is bullshit. So it's being made by the team behind lost Oh. Well. Thank. God. It's going to be shit then. Make a Voyager movie Godammit.
gaggle64 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Damon says he has no idea where these Kirk rumours have been coming from. If I was him I wouldn't touch this project with a barge pole anyway. Anyway, just to reiterate: it's this kind of film making that makes me hate and despair for hummanity. Lets just paper over the last couple of movies and Scott Bakula and move on to something new, please?
motion Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 It's a completely brand new team in charge. It's got the guy in charge of Lost/MI3 running and directing it. Fresh faces, fresh story. Lovely CGI company making the visuals. A bigger budget than the older ones (I think). Semi-well known actors playing key roles. Look at Batman Begins and Casino Royale, both refreshed film sagas that did well. This will do well.
Retro_Link Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Saw a horrible rumour somewhere the other day that Robbie Williams was a possible contender for the role of Kirk!! They think he could play the character well!
rokhed00 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Saw a horrible rumour somewhere the other day that Robbie Williams was a possible contender for the role of Kirk!! They think he could play the character well! I think a potato would be more qualified for the role.
Fanelia Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 i think steven seagal should be the new kirk. his carreer could use the boost. that being said, i have never seen a single episode or movie from star trek, that includes all series.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Make a Voyager movie Godammit. QFT! Janeway FTW!
rokhed00 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 QFT! Janeway FTW! Needed more spanking action.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Needed more spanking action. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
somme Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Voyager was my favourite. Make a Voyager movie, was unimpressed at Janeways small role in Nemesis. Voyager should have saved the day. :P
Jack_Thompson's_Wig Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 'MATT! DAMON!' xD With a (sorta) younger cast then what the Trekkies are used to, this could revitalise interest in the franchise, and perhaps steer it away from the cliched nerdy sci-fi pigeonholing it has become ever so prone to. As long as the effects are good.

As long as the effects are good.[/quote'] I think that's the aim. From the looks of it, they are avoiding "big name" actors for the main crew - perhaps to leave a possibility of making a TV Show if it's successful. Rumours suggest that there will be 2 "big name" actors - the villain and a minor character (possibly Christopher Pike). IGN say that Tom Cruise could possibly be Pike in the movie.
Cube Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Yay, Sylar is playing Spock! Nimoy has said that Quinto reminds him of a younger version of himself. Which is great.
Daft Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Nimoy has said that Quinto reminds him of a younger version of himself. Which is great. Awesome! Is there an interview or something I can read up on cos I'm a bit behind on what the hell is going on!
Cube Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Awesome! Is there an interview or something I can read up on cos I'm a bit behind on what the hell is going on! Shatner and Nimoy talk about the movie here
Daft Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Shatner and Nimoy talk about the movie here Awesome! Cheers!! : peace:
Happenstance Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Im still not very hopeful for this. I will of course go and see it at the cinema but a prequel wasnt necessary and im very doubtful that anyone can fill Shatners shoes.
