One-year countdown thread!

[King Daniel Into Darkness]

I'm sure they've got an awesome advertising campaign ready to remind anyone who forgot how much fun the last Trek was.
Terminator had a looooooong gap between the first and second movies too.

What I want to know is....when are they going to reveal the title of the movie? I am sure they have it by now.

Didn't they wait to reveal the last movie's title until about five months before release date?

I am not sure I remember. I thought it had been known for a while, even before they pushed the date or release back 6 months until May 2009 that the name was going to be just "Star Trek." If I am wrong we may have to wait quite a while before we learn the name of the sequel.

this surprises me ....I know movies cost more now to make and with ticket prices going up it would take in more but still.
Surprised that the domestic was twice that of the foreign, what with the huge following of trek world wide especially in the uk, germany and elsewhere

Also, as silly and annoying as it can be to die-hards to have hordes of fan girls jumping into a new genre just to see a hearththrob/favorite actor, numbers will I bet be extra good especially in the UK (but also worldwide) among those who've never see a Trek movie ever. The Batch has a pretty serious fanbase that would see anything he's in multiple times (and drag their boyfriends)--not to say that there isn't some serious nerdy-girl overlap in the fanbase already. (And, yes, I'm sure he has plenty of male fans, too, just generalizing)

I spent a few minutes digging, and found a 2007 interview which is cited by several Trek reference sites as evidence that the movie title was always going to be simply "Star Trek", but it reads to me as Orci and Kurtzman saying only that they hoped that's the way it would be. I also recall a fair amount of fan speculation on possible alternate titles or "Star Trek: ______" titles filling in the blank with tag-lines from posters (ex: "Star Trek: The Future Begins"). I'm pretty certain, though I haven't tracked it down yet, that I remember an official final statement concerning the title coming sometime after the announcement in December 2008 that all work had been completed and that the film was locked - quite late in the game, anyway.

I do beleive you are right as I reflect back. So unless the title gets leaked I will have to wait.

[Nerd unRage]

I imagine there will be a teaser trailer at Comic Con. Perhaps that's when they'll release the title as well?

[King Daniel Into Darkness]

I hope so. And I hope it's a better name than "The Dark of the Moon"

The tension builds.... slowly...

[shatatattat]

With the level of suck of most movies, it will do very very well, and if they are smart enough to open it in march like the hunger game it will set records because when nothing else in the theater, records broken!! Too bad TV is having such trouble making anything good since the original series, probly because it was too free enterprise and macho for the exec that don't get that THAT is what is so missing today from TV. Be the only macho game in town with strong male characters and the theem fo galactic discovery and power fo schience and human enginuity and you will win win win Keep too havily to the slacker track and you will end up with nothing.

I'm going into stasis.

See you all in 360 days (I will need some time to bathe and eat before heading to the cinema).
