Holy sh#t bananas, Wesley was in it!
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
I have to admit that rocks.
Will as a scary Romulan, cool!
I'm so psyched for Wil!! As i've said in another thread, i would LOVE to see Wil in the next movie. I think he deserves it!
Wil is a really cool guy. Out of all the trek actors ive met, hes the one you just wanna go grab a beer with.
So... Are we to assume, Wesley will at some point of the future travel into the past to become the father of a Romulan mother's child to explain this?
Naaaah. They would never pull a stunt like that!!!
...oh, wait...

I thought the thread title meant Commodore Bob Wesley!
Wheaton dubbed over every Romulan except Nero and Ayel: often on films the on-set recording doesn't come out great and has to be rerecorded: so in this case Abrams got one person to dub those lines instead of getting each actor back.
If only for being such a good sport these last twenty or so years.
Yeah, it's not really odd, but rather quite common. There are actors for whom this sort of thing represents the bulk of their work; you may never see their faces on screen, but they're in there, redoing poorly-recorded dialogue (including dialogue for which the audio recording was spoiled by unwanted noise) or lines which get changed in the script after the scene has already been shot (Hey, Johnny!") as well as adding background chatter, comm traffic, screams and yells, etc. -- you'll sometimes see their names in the credits for things like "additional dialogue" or "ADR voices". I'm not sure that Wil has done that kind of work as much, but he's got quite a bit of experience as a voice actor, doing his lines in a studio booth instead of a soundstage.
Yup!
Another example would be in the film "Hot Fuzz". A line of dialogue was re-dubbed by the director (Edgar Wright) in the edit as a placeholder until the actor got to redo it. Which never happened. So Wrights' overdub is the one on film.

Oh - and Wheaton is the man. He really is.
Did anyone else notice that James Cawley was in it as well?

That's old news. There's some details about how this happened elsewhere on the Web.
I think I also saw Wil Wheaton in some scenes during the Kelvin attack.

Wesley for the part of another dead red shirt in Star Trek XII!
