One-year countdown thread!

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

-356

Until we see Spock running around in a stolen Stargate Atlantis uniform. Or maybe it's a crossover? *imagines the awesomeness of it*

I'm slashing him with Ronon Dex.

Rodney will, of course, hate NuSpock because NuSpock is vastly more intelligent than him.

 

[T'Girl]

But Rodney could happily needle McCoy with the "fact" that medicine isn't an actual science.

Kirk and Shepard can compare black tee shirts.

Anyone wanna play "guess the stardate of the next movie"...?

2259.22?

 

[F. King Daniel]

I'm gonna go with 2260.34

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

We need to get a pool going.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Where's my swimming trunks?

 

[F. King Daniel]

^Do they have the Starfleet insignia of them?

-352
And today brings a new pic in the uniforms thread, of Scotty and Chekov in VERY soldier-ish uniforms, with a litte girl. New uniforms different from Spock's SGA costume and Cumberbatch's away mission-style jacket.

Star Trek XII: Where in every single scene, the uniforms are different.

That's good for Action Figure Sales

 

[F. King Daniel]

I hadn't thought of that!

-349 days until I abandon this site for fear of spoilers until I actually get around to watching the movie.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

-348 I'm abandoning this forum whenever they finally tell us who the frak Cumberbund is really playing. My quatloos are on "giant mutant tribble."

 

[Horta Burger]

For whatever it's worth (not much), they were actually filming for the new Star Trek movie at my work place. We've got some buildings full of super-techy looking processes. I assume they just want the back drop.

Kind of cool, though.

 

[Set Harth]

So, any spoilers?

Don't make us get out the Centaurian slugs.

Would your workplace happen to be the Lawrence Livermore Lab? We did hear about filming there, though I don't think any details beyond the fact that filming occurred (unless one counts a few pics of Pegg, Pine and Cumberbatch stopping off at Hooters on the way back to their hotel in SF.)

Yep.

They were filming at the National Ignition Facility. That's basically a couple football fields worth of big banks of modular looking stuff used for generating 192 lasers that feed into a huge sphere jokingly called the Death Star (it's ten meters in diameter). They're trying to achieve fusion.

Don't know what the script needs it for, but I can imagine a lot of things that would look cool when compressed or taken from the right angle. Lots of visual possibilities. Lots of activity when they were there, too, with obviously places screened and roped off.

(Thanks, Temis!)

It's gonna be so cool watching the movie and going "Oh, that's what so-and-so was talking about/thats why they're wearing those uniforms/that's why they're filming there"

TrekMovie published a brief overview of the facility about a month ago - includes photos and a "How NIF Works" clip.

Should be interesting to find out what they used. Lots of visual possibilities, as you say, and some of them pretty much unique to that location.
