The Enterprise computer....

- Start date
I know, the Enterprise will have a future generation of Tony Stark's Jarvis AI.
Maybe Paul Bettany is free for some recording sessions lol.

I don't think it would feel right if Majel didn't do the voice. Wouldn't her non-appearance make this the first Trek production in which she doesn't appear in face or voice? (ENT does have her voicing the computer in In A Mirror Darkly)
If she doesn't appear, that would be kind of sad.

I don't believe she was in Khan, Search for Spock, Final Frontier, Undiscovered Country, or Insurrection.
You were always a strange child.I think I'd be pretty good at that, actually; I'm always identifying voice-over announcers and narrators on documentaries.
I just might wet myself. Majel Roddenberry IS the voice of Star Trek. I'd love for her to be a part of the new movie.
Computer voice: Reboot complete.
That actually would be pretty cool. At the end of the movie the bridge and or computer systems get rebuilt some way resembling the original bridge. When they bring the main computer back online it says that and then the movie ends.
^ Maybe, but I'd still laugh.
The new movie bridge folds up into a robotic Majel Transformer, voice of the old Enterprise, then unfolds into the TV bridge.
The Enterprise computer voice should be done by Alicia Keys! Woo-hoo! Or how about Kelsey Grammar? Or, since Christian Slater is big Trek fan, get him to do it! Also, I kind of liked the insolent computer voice of the Excelsior in TSFS. -- RR
When you guys say an "AI", what do you mean? Like a personality?
Or Andy Dick.
I think they mean more along the lines of one of those chat bots online rather than something more HAL-esque. Nothing sentient lol.
1. Make this a humorous element. The voice keeps changing because the main computer is being worked on.
2. Or have Kirk start talking to the computer ala Scotty in TVH. Have Scotty tell Kirk that the computer's voice isn't working. It won't be installed until Tuesday.
3. Let Majel appear, but use CG clones of her as Number 1. She's sitting in an enormous switchboard room...

I find that difficult to believe, considering how hard the folks doing this movie seem to be trying to copy current trends (which is really going to date it, going forward, I'm afraid).
Seriously... you've used a GPS, haven't you? Our computers and technology talks to us all the time. So I'd be stunned if they decided to deviate from both established Trek "style" and contemporary technological trends.
If the computer has a voice, it will probably sound a lot like the voice that your GPS talks to you with. Something bland and colorless, but not "robotic" like the stuff we got in TOS or TNG.
Or Val Kilmer could do the computer voice. I hear he's doing computer voices these days.
Seriously, I do NOT want to laugh AT this movie. It is an action sci-fi Trek movie. Laugh with something in the movie, but NOT laught AT the movie, whether it is a "nod to the fans" or not.
Do you realise that "Frank Force" was the voice of Leonard Nimoy?
The call sheets for ST III had to hide his participation in the movie, and the regenerated final version of Spock was said to be the character "Nacluv" ("Vulcan" spelled backwards), played by Frank Force. (As in, Spock was the frankest force in the galaxy.) The name was used as a credits list in-joke when Nimoy voiced the Excelsior elevator.
