Producer Confirms - No Next Generation Crew in New Star Trek Movie

Ok ..both of you, get to a video shop and rent Wrath Of Khan now for christs sake!..but seriously, check that one out and maybe First Contact, the others are meh

Ror - oh come on now, you've got to admit 'The Undicovered Country' was pretty damn good too!

I recommend All of the "Even Numbered" Trek Movies! 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, though you'll have to watch em all cause they're all connected. (3 the Return of Spock and all.)

I wanna see a T.V. Series featuring Riker on his ship: Titan! With one or two crew members from DS9 and Voyager on board, and some New crew members!

Star Trek: Titan

It could work. :)

Yes, the death of kirk was pretty silly. I think they were trying to get Shatner to go away for a little while.

“Where we use it (theme song)in the film it works,” he offered. “I would say it is used very specifically and at exactly the right time.”

To me, this sounds like the song'll be at the end of the movie.

The best star trek movies were First Contact, its got Borg come on they rock, and Undiscovered Country. No Rorschach01 Star Trek 5 had God which was lame as hell by the way. Star trek 6 was Undiscoverd Country and had the Shakespeare quoting Klingon in it, that one was kewl. I blame my Dad for getting me addicted to Star Trek lol. Very much looking forward to this new spin on the Star Trek universe.

I think Chris Pine could, and I say could, make a good Hal Jordan adamant877. That movie should be eye candy for us all.

Rorschach01 I disagree. To anyone who isnt a fan I would never recomend watching anything related to the original Star Trek or the movies based on it. The Next Generation was great and most of those movies were good. However the original series and it's movies were riddled with awful acting poor sets horrible SFX and were mostly cheesy. The TV show was worse than the movie, but still all were awful. TNG and DS9 were actually good. This new film looks decent, but then again the people making it are actually taking the film serious and not making a joke also the actors have talent which is a fresh take on Kirk no one has tried that role with good acting before.

They just do what Nolan let Ledger do when there were people that say they werent batman fans

Comicbookguy are you seriously calling the original Star Trek good ? Are you opposed to good acting ? Are you a fan of over cheesy stories? Not a big fan of well written plots ? You are seriously trying to use the logic for this film, but decided not to use any logic at all when you called the other films good ? You can count about 14 major errors in any one episode or movie based on the original.

Wrath of Khan was good, but in a so bad it's good kinda way. That is where you can really see Shatner blossom into the parody of himself he has become today. Granted he was serious at the time, but his delivery was so over the top, all previous incarnations paled in comparisson.

Khan: "Kirk.... Are you still there, old friend?"

Kirk: "STILL!.....OLD!.....FRIEND!!"

It wasn't until Airplane 2 that he really got into the comedy swing of his "persona" but I believe The Wrath of Khan pretty much gave it legs.

And not to burst anyone's bubble or anything, but I just read that they are already fast tracking the Trek sequel, which would be ready for a 2011 summer release. This should effectively take Chris Pine out of the Green Lantern running. He def won't have the time if they are getting this off the ground that quickly, unless they sign him and start shooting within the next month or so.

To appreciate the original Star Trek, you have to put it in context in the late 60's. Cold War, communism, race riots and Viet Nam. Flower children and psychadelic art. And the other shows on at the time were simplistic and two-dimentional. Roddenberry developed a show that had a vision of hope that showed a dream of a great future for mankind, and adapted many excellent science fiction concepts and plots to audiences that had never seen them before.

The best single episode was "The City of the Edge of Forever," written by Harlan Ellison (Later a Hugo award winning author and the script consultant for Babylon 5). It introduced "the butterfly effect" concept of time travel to audiences who had probably never thought of it, and made some significant social commentary, too. "The Butterfly Effect" comes from a well-known Isaac Asimov story, "A Sound of Thunder," about how a small change in the past can have huge consequences in the future. "The Trouble with Tribbles" was a variation of Robert A. Heinlein's "flat cats" from "The Rolling Stones." I personally spoke to author Jack Williamson about how "I, Mudd" took its concept from his "Humanoids" stories.

The first two seasons of Star Trek had great writing, special effects that were good for the time (but now appear cheesy), and pretty good acting for network television at the time. But what made the show a hit in syndication later were the good stories, mainly from the first two seasons, and the relationship between Kirk, Spock and McCoy. The show was also remarkable for its vision of diversity. Uhura and Sulu were role models for many, many people, as there were very few African American or Asian people portrayed as inteligent, competant people on TV at the time. And there was even a Russian who was a good guy. Race was almost ignored, suggesting that we would someday overcome the conflicts that existed at the time.

Star Trek was also a landmark show, in that it developed a love for science fiction and space travel at a time when we were just beginning with real space travel. Most of the astronauts from the 70's and 80's have indicated that Star Trek had a big effect on their interest in Space.

So, I'm looking forward to this sort-of reboot of the franchise. Next Generation was a far better show, but didn't quite have the innocence and heart of the original. This version will be again very different, but basic concept of Star Trek can be told in many different ways.

NO!!!! I wanted a will Wheaton cameo

First off, i never made any allusions to you being young..i said that i loved it growing up..i never said that you didnt! 2nd, im not saying that by todays standards Shatners acting wouldnt seem cheesy or out of place (i stand by saying it was never bad)..But it fit the time and place and structure, and i loved him as Kirk! So comparing him to Paris Hilton or Segal sounds a little silly dont you think? If you didnt think he was good thats fine, but saying that its "sad" that someone did?? A little over opinionated are we chief?

Also, i dont know what comedies your a fan of, but 2 of the funniest movies i have ever seen are Life Of Brian and the first Airplane..all the way through those movies i thought, wow, thank god these cast and crew are taking things so seriously!

Your just looking for any excusse to bash this movie logan-x you don't care if it's good or not you just refuse to like it. Even if that means you have to make shit up just to bash it.
