New trek movie trailer, described...

[2cvbloke]

From _hollywoodchicago.com, here's a description of the new trailer for Trek XI:

Here’s the “Star Trek” trailer description. Hope you can use it. Slow Paramount logo. Bad Robot logo. Black, suddenly some sparks (very saturated [with] Michael Bay-looking cinematography). We hear an old NASA radio countdown: “30 seconds and counting.” Close up of a timeless guy with goggles leaning down doing some wielding and sparks flying around. He lifts his googles. Slightly futuristic head covering. It’s not a space suit, by the way. The dude leans down and wields some more. He’s standing on big metal. “From director J.J. Abrams” (blue font with a nice lens flare). Some Kennedy speech about space flight: “The eyes of the world now look to space.” People walking around the saucer section. The wielders are everywhere – showing size. We hear: “The eagle has landed.” Huge overhead shot pans across and suddenly shows what looks like miles of scaffolding underneath. Title: “The future begins”. Really impressive shot from … people all over the ship and you can see a huge industrialized city or shipyard in the background. It’s being built on Earth [rather than] in space. Neil Armstrong: “One small step for man…” Camera slowly cranes up over the whole saucer section. Then we hear Leonard Nimoy’s line: “Space. The final frontier…” and the familiar “Star Trek” theme horns. The shot continues [and reveals] the writing on the top of the saucer – “U.S.S. Enterprise” – and these huge aircraft-like warp engines in the background. Technically, the first reveal of what we’re seeing. Just the Starfleet log (no title). Title card: “Under construction”. “Christmas 2008” Overall, really great teaser (by the definition of the term). Very industrial. I’m most intrigued by the background Earth stuff. The teaser should be attached to the Abrams-produced “Cloverfield,” which opens this Friday.

I can't wait to see it...

Looking forward to the film itself, have been a closet Trekkie for years.

nothing closet here... i love all the ST films and series... i have them all on DVD

no copies either

Latest release date for the film itself is December 2008.

Apparently J J Abrams and Damon Lindelof "polished" the script in the few weeks before the the screen writers strike started and Abrams does not expect the strike to affect his directing duties (he is a member of the WGA) and he will be walking the strike line with other writers.

Hope you can wait Rolf!

Yep, still got three series of Babylon 5 to watch on DVD (for the second time), so can keep myself occupied.

The US release date (if everything's still on track after the strike) is Christmas day...

I can't wait to see it too, but I'm afraid they'll have raped the original Enterprise design and made it look horrible...
