[stratman]

For you Audioholics that are waiting with baited breath, here are some info tid bits. Release Date December 25 of this year, Nimoy will be in it for sure, Shatner will not. The rest of cast is as follows so far: Kirk- Chris Pine, Spock-Zachary Quinto, Nero-Eric Bana, Amanda Grayson-Winona Ryder, Uhura- Zoe Saldana, McCoy-Karl Urban, Christopher Pike- Bruce Greenwood, Sulu- John Cho, Scotty- Simon Pegg, Chekov-Anton Yelchin, Sarek- Ben Cross, George Kirk-Chris Hemsworth, Ayel- Clifton Collins Jr.

Hopefully it won't bomb.

JJ Abrams is writing it?!?!? Damn. So I guess there's going to be a whole bunch of unanswered questions, and we'll probably only see a corner of the Enterprise, at the very end of the movie.

the prequel idea is so old and overplayed. I suspect a bomb and thats coming from a huge Star Trek fan.

 

[Thaedium]

Yah I'm a big Star Trek fan myself, and I suspect a bomb here too. You can't have a Kirk without Shatner.

I hate seeing a cast thats not the original in it. I also feel a prequel is really unnecessary for this, what more in the beginning do we need from it all?

I'd rather see something from DS9 on the big screen myself, I think the character of Benjamin Sisco is so enganging, you couldn't go wrong.

I always though a new show focusing on the Klingons would be cool so you can see their perspective on how they view humanity.

To be honest, there was so much ground covered for Star Trek in the last 40 years its hard to know how to continue forward and keep it fresh while also sticking to the original storyline. I don't envy the writers on this one.

id like to see a voyager movie with 7 of 9 in it.

ok, maybe not voyager, who cares which ST ... I just want 7 of 9.

 

[stratman]

She's been the hottest female on any of the series.

 

[mazersteven]

No William Shatner?

 

[stratman]

Yeah no Shatner- Kirk, that kinda sucks. I like the old ham, adds texture to the soup.


Hey Mazer, no Hasselhoff images, ok?

 

[darien87]

She was definitely hot, but I don't know about "hottest".

What about Hoshi and Jolene Blaylock from Enterprise?!?!?

Who woulda thought a Vulcan could be so hot?!?!

Maybe it's my Asian fetish talking, but I thought Hoshi was the hottest of the Star Trek babes. Plus she's got that sweet, smart girl next door kinda thing going on.


Hope these pics aren't too risque for the forum. If so, just delete 'em.

 

[stratman]

All awesome and great but they're no 7! Though Jolene comes close.

Hey, you're pretty smart for a caveman!

A peacekeeper, and a Neanderthal, whoda thunk? Way to steer clear of another catastrophe strat. Thanks.

LMAO!
I actually hated most of the Star Trek movies, but count me in for this one!

 

[mtrycrafts]

No, not 7, just 9.5

 

[stratman]

No, not 7, just 9.5

Hey M,

That's right! First time I see 7 = 9.5 ! It must be new math! Hot Math!

 

[Audioholics]

If it's more like Batman Begins (real and raw), and not something like Superman Returns (campy and "why did you bother making this 80's gay-film") it could do very well.

 

[rnatalli]

I agree with Darien. Enterprise had some good-looking women. Don't forget the green women

As for the movie, I agree with those who think it'll be a bomb.

It's not Star Trek unless Gene Roddenbury is involved with it (hence, no more talk about DS9/Voyager/Enterprise as being Star Trek). With Roddenbury long dead, Paramount needs to let Star Trek die. As a Star Trek fan from when it originally aired in the 60s, I predict this movie will do as well as ST Nemisis, it will lose a lot of money.

There is a lot of good science fiction literature that Hollywood could make into some very good movies. I would love to see a series of movies following Issac Asimov's Foundation stories. Unfortunately, if this project were to be done, people would claim it is a rip-off of Star Wars, even though the original Foundation trilogy was written decades prior to George Lucas's story.

Hey Don,

I'd love to see Against The Fall of Night on the silver screen, but it would need some talented writer to really bring it to life.
