"Star Trek" has wrapped filming

Well of course, Wrath of Khan, Generations and Insurrection all completed filming... only to go back several months later and reshoot/add new footage to their endings. Are they going to show Star Trek to a test audience or to the head honchos at Paramount. Is J. J. Abrams so trusted that he can bypass all that?
 
Whith more then a year of post production, the effects better be the most amazing effects in movie history!

AFAIK, no-one is trusted enough to bypass that!
Still, I really hope we don't get reshoots from the test screenings, they'd probably delay the film longer, or be shoddy.

So we can take it that the about 15 really unique photos (as opposed to multiple views of the same thing) that have leaked is all we're getting in terms of set spy photos? that is one tight lid! From now on in unless someone gets hold of a script/finished footage, we'll be stuck with whatever JJ gives us up till next year.
And I daresay live filming with all those extras milling about and everything is the worst time for security leaks. And we got almost nothing.

141 days after he declared ‘action’ for the first time, JJ Abrams has wrapped principal photography for his Star Trek movie. This comes in pretty much on the original schedule (although a couple of weeks earlier than the revised schedule).

Yay! It is finally over! Star Trek has finished filming. J.J Abrams has actually finished it ahead of schedule. In the months to come I hope we will receive more and more tidbits without being completely exposed and spoiled about the movie. My main interest is the ship, then the cast in their characters and finally the true aesthetics of how everything looks in movie lighting. :)

Counting down to May 2009. :techman::techman::techman:

I still don't get it. If the movie is finished, why is it still being pushed back to May 2009? Doesn't make sense.

The movie isn't finished. There is still a lot to be done: Second unit shots, pickup shots, ADR, Foley, and hours of special FX sequences, not to mention scoring and mixing. Now that the movie has been pushed back to Summer Blockbuster season (the reason for such move is well chronicled elsewhere), there isn't going to be a mad rush to get this all done for a December release.
 
There are days that I spend fifteen bucks on coffee - I'm not risking anything by seeing a movie without knowing much about it.

I'm not sure how many changes the producers ever expressed any interest in making after the strike ended - Orci may have said something about always wanting to "fine-tune" during production, but the only specific remark I know originated in a blog entry by a striking writer who encountered Abrams on the picket line. They commiserated, with Abrams saying that he'd thought of "a great line" on the set of "Star Trek" but had been unable to add it due to the strike.
