How did you get to see the Full Trailer before it was released?
I'm going to a midnight showing. Hopefully it'll be included with it!
I saw Q0S last night, no Trek trailer for me
But that just could be for the UK...I'm going to see Max Payne when it comes out next week (hasn't it been out worldwide for nearly a month?!), so maybe it'll be part of that? Hmm? Please?
Looks better with the "0." Case closed.
Seems to me that having a zero at the beginning of a regestry number has already been established in Trek lore: the NX-01.
Re: Grissom, how do we know that a.) the ship wasn't built before Starfleet established a 4-digit registry system and old Grissom was grandfathered in (plausible), or b.) Grissom is a different type of ship than a Starfleet ship-of-the-line, thus only having a 3-digit designation (equally plausible).
Before the Berman days, and even during the early years of his tenure, Trek fans used to be very adept at working out these minor blips in canon to make it all fit. Most were extremely thoughtful and creative from what I remember. Seems to me that something as insignificant as the USS Kelvin registry no. can easily be explained and excused.
BTW, I CANNOT wait for the new trailer. One week! ::fingers crossed::

Because Grissom has a higher registry than Kelvin.
I wonder if it could also have to do with the fact that it
DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD!! FOR FUCK SAKES!!
Perhaps Abrams and crew should go back to the SFX now add the Grissom with registry number NCC-0638. That would put and end to this argument.
Or they could just not give a shit about it, like everyone else.
Seriously, Trek is choc-full-o-contradictions. They don't really matter that much. Does the Constellation being NCC-1017 make sense? Not really. But it doesn't have to because registry numbers are just background elements like stardates, there to make this funky fictional universe seem a little more legit.
For people to reaaally give a shit about them just means they aren't getting anything out of Trek worthwhile and should just try watching something else that's more consistant. Like the History Channel.

Now you're going to have to explain to me, what's wrong with the Constellation being NCC-1017?
According to Memory Alpha, there are several with registries below 17.
In addition to the Constellation, there's USS Intrepid NCC-1631, USS Potemkin NCC-1657, USS Excalibur NCC-1664, USS Exeter NCC-1672.
I agree with you. I was being (a bit) sarcastic.
However, like I said before, if Abrams can change the look of the bridge, what the hell is wrong with him changing the ship registry system to include 4 digits and "0" placeholders.
So in Abrams' universe the Kelvin is NCC-0514. If ithe Grissom was in the film, Abrams would probably make it NCC-0638.
I simply don't understand why anyone would have a problem with Abrams' changing the ship registry system. We know things are being changed for this film, and the change to the registry number system Abrams' and Co. is a logical system -- so what is the problem?

OH NO!I'm in Taiwan and Quantum of Solace came out on Friday the 7th, so I figured that's when it comes out in the US...so I thought I'd be seeing the trailer online about now!
But it's still one more week!
All of which are lower than the USS Constitution NCC-1700.
As you can see, the people who assigned those numbers didn't give a shit that they don't make any sense. Because it doesn't matter even a little.
Besides the car license plate numbering sysetm being identical to the Kelvin's system (at least in a few U.S. states that I've noticed), I just came across another example of that system.
I do some work for an organization that owns many buildings throughout the country, and they identify each building with a 4-digit number, including zeros used as place holders -- such as "Building No. AA-0123". And believe me, when I look at a list of these buildings printed on a page, I'm glad that they all have the same number of digits -- it makes perusing a list of them so much easier.
So Wormhole, your assertion that it is not logical to put a zero in front of the 514 is wrong. It is a logical system that is in wide use today.

With "Cloverfield" it was a Paramount teaser attached to a Paramount film.
With "Quantum" it's not a Paramount film, and us thus attached "loosely" - which means, not every copy of Quantum will have the trailer before it. As such, they could release the hi-def at any time. Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
The only reason it's held back in "hard" attached situations, like with "Cloverfield" is the hope that there are people who will pay admission to see a film based on a trailer being before it. As there is no such incentive for such in this case, they could do the hi-res sooner if they wanted. Theoretically.

I'm sorry, Wormhole, but that one really made me laugh out loud. It's sad, really. But thanks James Bond.I wonder if it could also have to do with the fact that itDOESN'T FUCKING MATTER FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD!! FOR FUCK SAKES!!
It has never been canonically stated that the USS Constitution was NCC-1700. I'm sorry, but you can not whine to me about canon, and then go and use something non-canon as an argument.
EDIT: On second thought, just did some digging on Memory-Alpha and found this. So I guess you are right, and I just made myself look like an ass. I concede the argument on NCC-1700, but the debate on NCC-0514 will live on.
