It's not dead! - Star Trek will be back on Christmas Day in 2008
On the Christmas Day next year the highly anticipated next Star Trek movie will be in cinemas Paramount Pictures announced yesterday! After cancelling the Star Trek: Enterprise series in March 2005, the mediocre space combat game "Star Trek: Legacy", which even die-hard trekkies found to be a bitter pill, and more than 4 years without a movie it was about time for someone at Paramount to make a decision.
And like this another one decided to take the opportunity and to direct the upcoming motion picture: Jeffrey Jacob Abrams. J.J. Abrams, known for directing and producing Mission: Impossible III and the very famous and successful Alias and Lost series, teams up with the writers and producers Bryan Burk (Lost, Alias), Damon Lindelof (Lost, Crossing Jordan), Alex Kurtzman (M:i:III, The Legend of Zorro) and Roberto Orci (M:i:III, The Legend of Zorro).
With all these experienced people working on it I am really interested if Star Trek XI will meet my expactations.

Where did you get five? There are 10 movies and 5 series, so you're boldly going 15 times :laugh: .
(I'm curious about it, 'semi-avid' trekkie here... no, not so much I like, put on "spock ears" & watch the series' or movies. I actually like the series (TOS/TNG/Enterprise) better than the films, personally))

I agree though - films aren't REALLY news for computer tech, but, it's the thought that counts here, per what I stated above, imo @ least!

* Maybe a better one for the "General Nonsense" section?

Battle**** Galactica.
Her theory was technically ruined By Enterprise as it didn't actually have Star Trek in its name
If they recast Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu..etc, it's going to be hard for me, and other fans of the original cast to sit through the film, or even consider paying to go see it. Personally, if it's a prequel involving the original cast, I'll just wait till it's available on BT. I want forward motion. Recreate from the future, don't move backwards, it's going to be more difficult from a canon perspective to have to make sure you don't violate the history of the series of movies. Eh...I'm just tired of all this prequel crap. Casino Royale was good, but, think about it, the Bond films span decades, it's easier to reboot a character that never ages, you're pretty much required to with every new film.
matt damon = kirk
adrian brody = spock
gary sinise = dr mocoy
Voyager and Enterprise were my two favorite series. TNG had a lot of interest for me too. I never got into DS9 and well the original ST, makes me laugh.
The movies though ive only see a few. And well games, never played any but Aramada II
Tired of pre-anything. Stop remaking films and going back in time. In most cases, people don't care. Not to mention in most cases the future is more fun.
Or if you are going to go with a pre, do it like Enterprise. Go WAY before whatever was the original show.
ENT was good, but ST:VOY and ST:TNG were the best. Hopefully they will have some nice klingon fights in this one, really big space battle would be nice with lots of ships, like in a lot of the DS9 shows :rockout:
If the script is well written and they cast the characters right they COULD pull it off, but as an avid trek fan I have a feeling that I'm going to be as dissapointed with it as I was with ST: Legacy.
