AICN reports on Actual Trek XI Footage
- Thread starter Cranston
- Start date
Awesome! I am so jealous of this guy. I'm especially intrigued about the scene on Vulcan. I wonder what the context will be for showing that? I think I'm more excited to see how Vulcan is going to be depicted in the movie than I am the Enterprise.

I very much like what he's saying about the overall look of the film, especially the uniforms and sets -- it looks like TOS, but "real."
I know that his comments were completely divorced from context, but I'm not loving the description of a sequence that apparently (as I read it) has the entire TOS bridge crew together at the Academy, all running to get to their ships -- and, what, going to visit Pike on the bridge of the Enterprise? If that's an accurate description of what's going on, it's way too "Young Sherlock Holmes" for me. But, of course, we'll see.
My biggest reaction to this report is: hey, there really is a Trek movie being made out there!

Luke Lightsaber

Hmm. Enterprise like ship approching the sun? Sounds like the slingshot effect from The Voyage Home maybe?
Niiiiccce.

Sounds like the New BSG bridge.
I'm so screwed if we get some really bad spoilers. These scenes that were described are pretty mild spoiler-wise and have no context whatsoever, but I worry that if/when some REALLY juicy spoilers get out there, that I'm going to not be able to resist at all!
I wonder if that weird "no new material at ComicCon" thing today finally shook some info loose. I'll be interested to see if anyone else has anything to release....
It actually sounds a lot like the old Interplay video game ship.
Somehow, I think that might not be coincidence.
It was a movie era appearance design called Akula created for a game.
Essentially, a saucer with one nacelle above and one nacelle below; both on centerline. This sounds exactly like the description given in the article.
I believe Vance has a schematic of it somewhere.
"...on the bridge, under the command of Captain Pike. Sulu was at the helm – and the bridge. And the uniforms… Classic Trek. Nice. Then for the first time in the history of Star Trek, it looked amazingly functional. It echoes that classic Trek look – but imagine if you handed that design to the folks at APPLE and said… Make it really work. I instantly believed in the functionality of everything."
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I'm guesing the Starfleet ship they describe is the USS Kelvin, commanded by the bad-ass Arab captain. Based on the description there, I'm imagining a more primitive version of the Stargazer.
And did I read this article correct? Did they say the entire TOS cast is going to be on the Enterprsie bridge with Pike in command? There's a continuity can of worms.

THIS MOVIE WILL RAPE MY CHILDHOOD! 
Right, now that nonsense is out of the way - couple of points -
sounds like Kirk is a stowaway on the ship (maybe not even the enterprise?) as it looks out he's out of favour from his KM tricks.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we don't see Captain Kirk - my guess is that it ends with him redeeming himself and saying "One day this ship will be mine" or something like, thus creating expectation for the sequel.

How does it sound like that? People keep saying this about ever element of this film!
Sci-Fi and movie design doesn't start, finsh and end with BSG!
Maybe my imagination is a little overactive from an extra cup of coffee this morning, but here's what I read into the AICN report:
-- The incident on board the Farragut that propelled Kirk to captain has been reimagined and takes place on board the Enterprise. In the mists of my mind, I remember reading some time back that Abrams said that not all the familiar characters make it through the movie. Back at that time I thought he meant Pike. Of course, I may be putting two and two together and getting five.
-- Oh, and apparently this movie will be visually stunning. Even if the shuttles are dirty.
