New Star Trek Movie In 2009..

[Godzilla]

I have a bad feeling about this...

Yeah, join the club...

[Mog]

now if they actually had space fighter combat in the next one, that would be awesome...transforming fighters, even better!

Well, they have shown Federation-style "fighters" in space combat, but they're no where near the coolness level of the Valks, or even the X-Wings and BSG Vipers.

Though, I do have a personal soft-spot for Defiant's "Don't funk with me, I'm a hard-headed, no excuses, stubborn-ass, overpowered, overgunned WARship."

I could watch that little ship kick ass all day.

My casting choices for young Kirk & Spock: -

Colin Farrel & Samuel L. Jackson.

or

Ben Assfleck & Matt Damon.

or

Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx.

or

Keanu Reeves and Jack Black.

Ya know, this could be a pretty funny movie.

"Little?"

[mikeszekely]

Speaking of Riker and the Titan, that wouldn't be a bad angle to pursue. A few familiar faces augmenting a mostly new crew, new ship, and new adventures as they move away from the diplomatic missions, the goodwill missions, the Dominion War, etc, and get back to exploring the Final Frontier.

[myk]

I could dig that, but they need to do something about the Riker-Troi thing. Having a husband and wife team on a deepspace explorer doesn't sound very exciting...

Abrams Slams 'Star Trek' Rumors

Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams is hitting back at unauthorized reports he is directing the next Star Trek movie. The Alias creator is furious the news was released prematurely and is also upset that key details regarding the storyline were incorrectly reported. He explains to Empire online, "The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation. People learned that I was producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it, they hear rumors of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is not entirely accurate." Last week, Hollywood trade paper Variety, reported Abrams was on board and that the film would center on the early days of Captain James T. Kirk and Spock and that Philip Seymour Hoffman was in talks to play the ship's doctor. Abrams won't reveal the true storyline, but hints that it won't feature characters Captain James T. Kirk or Mr. Spock at all, but doesn't rule out bringing some of the original characters back for the new film, adding, "Those characters are so spectacular. I just think that..you know, they could live again."

[mikeszekely]

No non-Shatner Kirk and no non-Nemoy Spock for the win.

[Lightning]

they'd better not bring back scotty, the poor guy.

maybe Zulu?

[DestroidDefender]

I heard Tom Hank was interested in doing Star Trek. I think he'd be a really good Captain Christopher Pike.

[promethuem5]

I was thinking that myself... a Christopher Pike movie is really the kinda of prequel I could stand for... I always did like him and his background.

PRAISE ALTHENA!

[Sumdumgai]

They could always do a movie of the Romulan war, from what little they mentioned of it in the original series. People floating in crappy little ships lobbing nukes at each other, not even knowing what the other side looked like since their ships were so primitive and communications sucked.

I dunno if they covered any of that in Enterprise because I didn't watch it.

The general public would just label it a crappy submarine warfare movie in space.

The problem with Star Trek and the general public is that there is just so much junk to digest since the Universe has gotten so big. That's why the back to basics approach was supposed to be good, but Berman ended up destroying Enterprise by not removing all the junk but just renaming it and making even more junk.

They didn't cover it. They DID have romulans, though.

IMHO Nemesis had the perfect opportunity to spotlight the Romulans. They could have brought back Tomalok and Sela but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

And Spock, for retro-nostalgia factor.

He's on Romulus working towards Romulan/Vulcan reunification last anyone heard.

But yeah... Nemesis was a double-letdown. Not only was it a bad Trek movie, but it was a bad romulan story.

Ha, looks like my prediction may be correct!

Sulu-Trek? An TMP-era Excelsior-centric movie? I can dream.

[USMCBebop]

Berman or no Berman, there's a lot of expectations this new Trek flick is going to be measured up to.

This is another prequel. As evidenced from the Star Wars prequels and Enterprise, it was a challenge trying to please the fans of those respective franchises. As you know, "pleased" wasn't the word.

This [sTXI] will probably be a make or break for the faltered franchise.

affleck as kirk!

but only if they get damon to play kirk... and robin williams as McCoy... bring back the entire cast of goodwill hunting I say.

As the first poster in the talkback on the article said....

There just something so wrong about this.

Perfect symmetry. Poor Shatner was a terrible actor as well, only fitting that Affleck take the role

[promethuem5]

Oh god.... that right there'd be a good reason to not see the movie...

[Mog]

but only if they get damon to play kirk... and robin williams as McCoy... bring back the entire cast of goodwill hunting I say.

Robin Williams: "Jim. It's not your fault."

Damon: "I know."

RW: "It's not your fault, Jim."

Damon <Holds back the tears>: "I know, Bones"

RW: "It's not your fault." <pause> "It's not your fault." <pause> "It's not your fault."

Damon: WAAHHH!!!

seriously williams may be good if he plays a romulan, hes got some wicked looks in his noncomodic movies.

damon maybe be good as Chekov.

[Sumdumgai]

But can Damon scream as Chekov? The ability to scream is essential for that character!

Get the guy that played Bane in Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions for Spock. Yeah he'd look like an evil one, but he can already do dry and logical.

[Phalanx]

You know what, they should get Jordy and Data back in this movie. I swear to God those were my two favorite charcters in the Next Generation.

Uh, Data is dead. Not that this little fact would ever stop them...

[Sumdumgai]

That's why they had the other android that looked exactly like data, so they could pull a Search for Spock.

Star Trek XI: The Chaos of Q, or how i learned to stop worrying and love troublemakers

[Vermillion21]

I grew up on ST:TNG and loved it ... but like everyone else here ... I have my doubts about a new Trek flick ....

[JB0]

That's why they had the other android that looked exactly like data, so they could pull a Search for Spock.

Didn't Data crap his brain into his twin's in an attempt to force the new guy to become smart?

And I seem to recall the new android was already adopting Data's mannerisms at the end of it.

[Sumdumgai]

Yeah it's Star Trek II and III all over again.
