Nimoy impressed with scale of movie

[Matt]

From TrekMovie.com:

"I have now spent several shooting days on the various sets of the new film. Security has been held tight.


Because of strong interest there has been an effort on the part of some to get unauthorized photos of actors going to and from their trailers, etc.

The size of the production impresses me. It’s a big picture. An imaginative and ambitious project. The director JJ Abrams is able to work on a very large scale while also paying close attention to the intimate work of the actors. The cast members are uniformly talented and enthusiastic. It’s a pleasure to be around them and to work with them.

My hopes for this film continue to be very positive."

My bet is that it'll be the biggest Trek movie in terms of vision since The Motion Picture. Possibly bigger.

Edit: In case you can't read where it clearly credits TrekMovie.com, here's a direct link.

OH I'M SORRY, I didn't know me putting TREKMOVIE.COM wasn't good enough. Here, I'll hyper-link it for people still using Netscape Navigator or AOL version 3.0.

Christ. You baited me into this response, so don't try pulling the, "1 Warning for flaming" card. Everyone will see right through it.

It's funny you should say that, because that's the same feeling I've been getting ever since this movie started filming, what, six weeks ago? Everything I've read has given the impression that Abrams is trying his best to create a film with a truly epic feel.

And of the ten Trek films, only TMP has given me that sense of grandeur and epic feel.

Space is very big... The settings shouldn't feel like they were created in a studio.

This is one reason Abrams is picking many location shoots, which will be augmented with additional CG.

It'd be nice if we get some scenes similar in composition to the wonderful Star Trek book cover paintings of the 1970s.

Stuff like this:

Of course, with the brand new redesigned Enterprise 2.0.

Matt - is has LONG been a matter of common courtesy to post links to the original source material when quoting articles on this board. This will allow other posters to view the article and the extract posted in the ORIGINAL CONTEXT INTENDED BY THE AUTHOR.

Sorry if you don't like that...but that's the way it is.

And if you don't believe me on this point, go check out pretty much every thread in TNZ where an article extract is posted. Pretty much all of them ALSO contain links to the original source article.

Now, my suggestion is to lose the 'tude and help yourself out here. Because otherwise the moderators will continue to 'bait' you with requests to follow the prescribed procedures.

Welp, fact is it linked to TrekMovie.com in the original posting.

If you wanted a HYPERlink, as in < a href = " url " > it's there. Most modern browsers support non HTML links as well. Opera/Firefox you can select the text and "Go To URL."

TMP was all about the big idea, an idea so big that it couldn't be contained by a mear movie, so the Title THE MOTION PICTURE fits it, it's not just any old movie or film, it's THE MOTION PICTURE, not mearly A motion piture, but THE, see what I mean ?

TMP was all about scope and scale and ideas.

Mostly it was about Spock and how he learned to deal with his human half, and not shun it anymore.

So once again we're going to have a Spock centric story and a big idea film, in scope and scale like TMP in 2008 ?

I can live with that

Trek XI gives me that feel that we're about to embark on a grand adventure. I like that.

And it should have enough tongue in cheek references and quotes to keep everyone happy.

 

[MANT!]

Epic...that's what we need, as long as the STORY is engaging, the characters are engaging and the special effects support the above mentioned items. not the other way around..

LOL nice one mate, yours posts in this topic made me laugh. But that's because I dislike trigger-happy patronising self-important mods immensely.

^^^Please, Kpnuts. Don't feed Matt. He's got enough passion to annoy the shit out of people here as it is.

And Cindy was not being any of the things you mention. Just doing the job, which means dealing with people who don't like the rules, as it seems you don't.

\S/

Closing this thread too as it's about the same exact REBOOT topic...and is going nowhere fast.
