Damn Abrams! Why does he ignore the fans?!

Seriously, neato.

 

[Plum]

Yikes! Hope the server can take it!

[Apogeal Alpha01]

1:00 PM is too early for me. I hope there'll be a podcast available.

not funny!

 

[Roshi]

Uh ho, looks like Trekmovie is down...

 

[Roger Wilco]

Cool, I'll try to catch that.

1PM what? EST?

 

[Wowbagger]

1 PM Pacific.

So that's... 4 PM Eastern?

It's supposed to last three or four hours. In my experience, this stuff tends to go over, but, then, I've never seen one scheduled for such a huge amount of time.

It's going to be entirely within the comment threads--TrekMovie.com is many things, but hi-tech is not one of them--and the whole thing will be reformatted into a Q&A-style transcript after the deal goes down.

Should be pretty sweet. Question submission is going on right now.

 

[Jon1701]

Cool. Another great scoop for Anthony.

I hope I get an answer on my "will the doors go swoosh when they open?".

The people demand to know!!!!

You can post questions on the site for JJ & company. There are 394 questions so far, but my favorite is #378 from Darryl :

I have a tattoo of the Enterprise on my arm, am I going to have it re-done?

Well he was planing to move to another host, since his bandwidth usage was very high so far this month.

This one is pretty good too:

JJ,

On STAR TREK, when the actors are in costume do they wear Starfleet underwear or just normal underwear? I know in some period movies they wear authentic underwear of the times even though it can’t be seen.

I’d make them wear space underwear. It would be very “futuristic.”

Thanks.

 

[Zeppster]

It's complete disaster about 60 comments of random chat and no JJ.

 

[Corran Horn]

He's answered at least one question so far. I have no idea why they're just letting everybody keep commenting in that thread. It's a mess.

HOW DEEPLY DO YOU FEEL THE WEIGHT OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH CARRYING THE TORCH OF THE STAR TREK FRANCHISE?

A: It’s funny that you phrased it that way — carrying the torch — because that’s exactly what it feels like. Trek means a great deal to many people, and I fully appreciate that responsibility. But I have never been overwhelmed by that burden. Quite the opposite. The fans have been part of the inspiration. This experience has felt, from the beginning, like a truly unbelievable opportunity. We’re only half-way through principle photography, but the torch is burning bright and we’re running hard!

When we will see more detailed clips from the new movie..?

Barring any thievery from our production office, we’re working on our first trailer right now, which will hopefully be in theaters early to mid summer.

 

[Tralah]

Doh! That's disappointing. I hope he can show up soon. Probably something came up.

 

[Zeppster]

I didn't see that one post so he has answered one question. Sorry I didn't see it the first time around.

 

[T'Bonz]

If it completes (the chat) when I'm still home (I hope to go out at some point), I'll post a thread here with all of the pertinent discussion.

Poor guys. Should have used IRC. And had it set to moderate.

 

[Woulfe]

PTM had to break the front page into QUESTIONS post them here, ANSWERS will be posted here, and so on as it got out of hand REAL fast like.

[Trujew]

If all the retards over there would stop posting and asking new questions this would be going a lot smoother. Not the greatest setup to begin with
