Is There a feud in Star Trek XII?

So, allegedly two actors are at each other's throats, but there's nothing indicating which two?

Sweet fuck, does no one want to say anything about this movie? Or is Abrams so draconian that he thinks revealing which two actors don't get along will ruin the plot and cost him a minimum of $060,000 at the box office?

Whoever it is must be wearing a black t-shirt...
 
Here's the link to the TrekWeb item quoted by ralph at the top of the thread. The National Enquirer page in question can be found here.

Sorry M'Sharak but the content of this website (National Enquirer ) is not available in my area. Thanks.

Yes I also am forbidden from seeing this wonderful news source.
Don't feel too deprived, either of you. The National Enquirer is one of the oldest continuously-published gossip-trash tabloids in the U.S. (and not at all above inventing stories out of whole cloth in order to fill column space) but it's never ever fooled anyone into believing that it was an example of either good writing or good journalism.

Here's the pertinent bit, quoted:

WAR OF THE STAR TREK DIVAS

Published on: March 28, 2012

GUESS WHO?! Ego torpedoes explode on the deck of the NEW Starship Enterprise as diva STAR TREK actors go for each other’s throats in blood feud! PLUS: D-lister’s lost weekend after escape from rehab to gin mill paradise!

A feud is brewing aboard the USS Enterprise! Two actors currently filming the untitled “Star Trek” sequel have been at each other’s throats. The pair got along on the first film, but they’re bigger stars now and bigger divas! Who are they?
 
I miss the Weekly World News. While I didn't buy it, the over the top cover stories were usually good for a laugh while I was waiting in line at the grocery checkout.
 
Their covers were way better than anything the Enquirer had to offer. The WWW is still an online presence, but it isn't quite the same as laughing out loud in the checkout line.

Well, to be fair, they were the ones that uncovered the John Edwards affair, effectively ruining his career. But the fact that they were the ones that revealed the scandal was itself a news story, too. The Pulitzer Prize Board even said the Enquirer was eligible for consideration (though obviously it didn't nab a nomination). In all, the John Edwards affair paradoxically only highlighted tabloid's reputation as a trashy gossip rag.
 
So who are the suspects?

Which ones had became stars?

That's a good question. If anything, these people are even less important than the VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE actors.

Of course, I don't follow new shows unless something interesting comes to DVD, so, what do I know?
Have any of the Enterprise or Voyager actor been the leads in major film releases?


we can only pray we never ever ever hear from voyager again.
 
For everyone bashing The Enquirer, don't forget that they were 100% CORRECT about the John Edwards story. While everyone (including me) laughed, they actually did some good reporting and got it right. (funny they weren't mentioned at Pulitzer time for doing actual reporting).

The Enquirer may have beaten the others to the punch by being the first to identify Edwards by name on 10 October 2007, but the rumor had already been making the rounds for several weeks, at that point, and a lot of people were on the trail.

Besides, calling the National Enquirer a gossip-trash tabloid which routinely publishes wholly-invented stories as fact is neither bashing nor is it exaggeration. Such stories are their stock-in-trade, and it is that justly-earned reputation for dubious "news" which casts some doubt upon the veracity of a report that two (as yet-unnamed) actors have been feuding on the set of the Star Trek movie currently in production. I personally will be very surprised if there turns out to be any truth to the rumor.

Show me on this doll where the bad Voyager touched you.

Seriously: if a show isn't to your liking, just stop watching; it really is that simple. If you're still trawling around internet forums not even dedicated to that series and posting drive-by swipes about it more than ten years after the show's cancellation, I don't know what else to say to you but "Don't do that here - you're in the wrong damn forum."
 
It wouldn't be ST without some sort of "disagreement" between someone on the cast or crew!!!
 
I understand its Pegg and Keenser. Didn't you see the latest Pegg video?
Well, Deep Roy (who plays Keenser) is probably the greatest Kenyan-born-little-person-of-Indian-descent actor of all time, so I can totally understand him having a prima donna attitude.
