No more Next Generation I guess. :(
Rumor has it this movie will focus on a young Kirk and Spock in Starfleet Academy.

Woooooo. I loved TNG's movie series, but a new original series movie with some young Kirk and Spock action will be excellent, as long as they don't cock it up. Kinda bummed that we're not going to see a DS9 or Voyager movie though. Enterprise was balls.

They could of used this new film as a vehicle for a new TV series, with characters that we haven't had in the past rather revisiting old ones, though at a different point in their lives.
With the end of the Dominion War and the Nemesis film, it would be an idea to have a series that follows the end of these events and makes the Star Trek Universe far darker. They could of done that with the Voyager series, but they wussed out. Though making Star trek more "adult" would probably make the Star Trek producers look like they are doing a battlestar Galactica.

Spock: Jerry Seinfeld.
Anyway, I watched a little bit of Star Trek Enterprise, but I haven't cared much for Trek since I hit puberty. Actually, before it, since I rarely watched TNG either (That started in what, the late 80s?). I was a fan of the movie series, but then you have very little dedication to worry about (Two hours out of your life), up til the TNG franchise. Is it me, or did destroying the flagship of the Federation every movie get old fast? NEmesis was excellent, and I liked Voyager, so I wouldn't mind seeing more of that, but I watched some eps of Enterprise, and I can see why they pulled the plug...That show made even the Trekkiest of Trekkies mad...Granted, they were writing letters of complaint in Klingon, but....

Though having some of the later characters make appearances could be cool. In most cases, we know most of them had some interaction before they signed on under Kirk's command.
Just as long as they're not as ham handed with it as, say, Smallville.
Also i think TNG only really got good around the middle of the run, all the Q stuff was not bad but i dunno, I think they were trying too hard to make it like old 60's trek
Lovd DS9 and Voyager for the most part, i actually only saw the finale of Voyager a few months ago:y:

I loved Enterprise:( Especially the last 2 seasons
The last 2 seasons of Enterprise were pretty good. I liked the 3-episode story arcs that they did through much of the last season, allowing a story to develop over the course of 3 episodes and be more involving, rather than trying to cram everything into the regular 45 minutes. That is something the Producers should definitly look into and develop once they decide to create a new series... whenever that may be.
Agreed, in fact basically the whole 3rd season was based around the Xindi story. Thats something that the other series were lacking a lot, DS9 had the ongoing Cardasia stuff and eventually the war and shit. What Voyager always did well i thought was episodes based around particular characters, the ones based around 7 of 9 and the Doctor were always particularly good.

Nimoy, Shatner In Trek 11?
Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock in the original Star Trek series, told Jam Movies (http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2006/08/29/1783310.html) that he has been contacted by Paramount about his possible involvement in the upcoming 11th Star Trek film, being directed by J.J. Abrams.
Nimoy told the site: "The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project, and they are aware of [William Shanter]'s and my contribution to the franchise, and they'd like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general. They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback. But that's just conjecture on my part."
It has been rumored that the film would deal with the first meeting of a young Spock and James T. Kirk at Starfleet Academy, but neither Abrams nor screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orc have confirmed speculation about the premise or storyline of the sequel film.

The fuck is wrong with matt damon?
I'm undecided on Matt Damon tbh, he's a tool sometimes, but I liked him in the Bourne Films so meh.
Either way, I hope this doesn't end up like the Star Wars prequels
D Mac
09-04-2006, 11:29 PM
Will whomever gets the role of Kirk be doing a bad Shatner impression?
Ok so I'm gonna sound nerdy now but...In the original series there's an episode 'shore leave' where the crew visit a planet where whatever they're thinking becomes 'reality', and Kirk remembers some guy he was at the academy called 'Finnegan' a crazy Irishman, and they have a 10 minute brawl. Anyway yeha, Finnegan should be in it:D

I am not a Star Trek fan at all, but this sounds like it could be pretty cool if done properly.
So long as Damon isn't made to act/talk like Shatner in TOS then its all cool
They probably won't. they were gonna "pass the Torch" to the Voyager crew, and Nemesis nearly killed the line entirely.
I'd much rather they pass it to the DS9 crew. That's the best series since TNG, and it's gone fairly unnoticed.
Is it me, or did destroying the flagship of the Federation every movie get old fast?
Actually, they only destroyed the original Enterprise in "Search for Spock", and the Enterprise-D in "Generations"

Nemesis, there wasn't much left of it. I beliueve they needed to be towed back by the Romulins or something.
They were helped by the Romulans, but towed back by the Federation fleet.
I've not actually seen Nemesis come to think of it

The Enterprise E was nearly destroyed in First Contact but Data deactivated the self destruct. In Insurection they had to eject the warp core and in Nemesis they lost most of it when they rammed the Reman ship.
I don't really like the idea of them going back to Kirks era i'd rather them focus on after Voyager.

Probably because it was shit on, even by Trekkies, until like Season 3, when it started totally ripping off B5.
Yeah, I really would prefer to make the flagship of my franchise some shitty ripoff of JMS' work.

Actually, they only destroyed the original Enterprise in "Search for Spock", and the Enterprise-D in "Generations" It's called hyperbole. The Enterprise or other ship is in dire jeopardy so much it's become boring.
The original set of movies managed to avoid destroying the Enterprise or necessarily putting it in self destruct/blowing it up/crippling it at every opportunity. Sure, it did happen (Star Treks 2,3 and possibly Undiscovered Country depending...Pardon me for not remembering the title...), but it seemed to be hardly as prevalent.
The same's an issue with Voyager, where the Self Destruct was armed like every 3 episodes. At least with Enterprise, the dire jeopardy made sense: We were using infancy technology against established technology. As bad as the show was, and it was bad, it fit better. It's just that, eventually, it gets repetitive, boring, and every day is the end of the world. They managed to make threats seem impressive in the past without resorting to this shit.
The Enterprise E was nearly destroyed in First Contact but Data deactivated the self destruct. In Insurection they had to eject the warp core and in Nemesis they lost most of it when they rammed the Reman ship.
I don't really like the idea of them going back to Kirks era i'd rather them focus on after Voyager.
Agreed. Completelly
What?
are you kidding? It was pretty damned good.
It was an okay movie, but a bad send-off for the TNG crew.

Yes it was a poor way to end this line, if that is the case (it does seem to be) When the movie was made, I don't think however that was the intention, so it's not like it was poor execution on their part.
Hmmm, Matt Damon is no longer listed on the IMDB entry for this, it seems like it could've been hearsay that got out of hand. I'm sure he's a candidate but its obviously not finalised yet.

J.J. Abrams confirmed as 'Star Trek' director
Posted December 7, 2006 at 10:28 AM Central Time
By John Couture
In one of the industry's worst kept secrets, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman confirmed this week that J.J. Abrams will indeed be at the helm of Star Trek XI. In case you've been living in on a not-so-deserted island these past few years, Abrams is the brains behind the hit TV shows Lost and Alias. J.J. also made his feature-length directing debut earlier this year on Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible III.
The long-rumored storyline of Star Trek XI centers on original Starfleet officers Kirk and Spock's first meeting at the Starfleet academy. Summer 2008 is still being pegged as the possible release date.

Eric Bana has been added as the villain 'Nero'.
Gotta be honest, Eric Bana is the man. Also Zoe Saldana set to play Uhura looks damn hot:y:

Anyway, my father mentioned that he'd read something about them recasting Scotty and someone else to play elder versions of themselves in this movie.
There's a decent chance they show up at the end, or the beginning or something.

Ugh again. I understand SPock cause Nemoy is still alive but casting new people to play the TOS characters when their older is just not an appealing idea.
Then again I'm almost certain this whole project is just going to suck anyway.

It is a possibility (only a possibility I admit) that Pegg can do a Scottish accent, James Doohan wasn't Scottish either afterall.

Then I saw an episode the other day with the big show in and understood completly :roll: The thing is with enterprise they starting doing shit, like reintroducing the borg which just was fucking stupid. The first couple of seasons were good then in just turned gay. Hopefully they dont do similar stupid things with this movie where they try to add a significant plot which is nether mentioned in the original.

bigger budget than the old TV series makes me believe 100% that they'll be the Klingons of the 'afterwards' version. Afterall they brushed the whole klingons looking like humans bit with the fact they were super Klingons from a Klingon eugenics program.

TNG and also on Enterprise, they mentioned why Klingons looked human (in the original series). It was because the Klingons got their hands on the eugenics program that 'we' humans had. Them (Klingons) taking the genetic enhancers made for humans, made them stronger, smarter, etc but also caused them to be more human looking than the Klingon's we got to see later on in the other spin offs.
Basically they explained away what was really just a costly makeup effect that the original series couldn't have afforded.

On DS9 they had an episode where they went back in time to the tribble episode on the original. They just edited the characters on to the old show. And at one point, in the mess hall, Jullian asked Warf where the klingons were. Warf points over and Jullian asked what happened. Warf said simply, "We don't discuss that with outsiders."
