Star Trek XII New Information Thread

A curiosity: IMDb has Tom Archdeacon as ensign Spyke. Probably an extra

 

^Spyke = Skype

Maybe a Klingon spy aboard the Enterprise?

 

Prediction: Ensign Spyke will die a grisly redshirt death.

 

looking around but cant find .
what part of january does filming start..
do we know how many years after the other film story wise this one will be?
i hope the villian isnt khan

 

Hey, apparently filming begins Jan. 15. We do not know really anything about the storyline or it's setting, or even who the main adversary is.

Perhaps somebody else knows more than I do?

 

In other words, this time next year, we may know something about the movie, not before.

 

Yup, I mean it's fun to speculate but Abrams will keep any and all important information under wraps until possibly early 2013.

 

Therefore there is little reason to keep this thread open. If as you say no new info is likely for another year. What's the point in regurgitating the same rumors and speculative remarks on this thread?

 

^ because it's fun?

Bob Orci teased on Trekmovie.com ages ago, asking how far into the 5-year mission it should be set. A subsequent interview said that "some time" will have passed between the two movies.

In that time, IDW's ongoing nuTrek comic is retelling TOS stories with the new crew is taking place (so far they've done "Where no man..." and "The Galileo Seven", with an all-new adventure coming after that, and Digital Extremes are releasing a (supposedly canon) game next year - so, come Star Trek XII, the crew will me more experienced, with a few adventures under their collective belt.

Simon Pegg says he knows Star Trek 2 story + More villain rumors

post 423 Roberto Orci said: Spoiler alert!
We wrote a part for Greenwood. Let us hope he says “Yes!”

So, Admiral Pike will be in Star Trek 2

 

Same reason we do everything else around here, for the lulz.

 

Yes but only if Greenwood says yes. Or has said it by the time the film enters full production.

 

That's actually kind of a disappointment. I was hoping Admiral Pike (back on his feet!) to play a big role in STXII, not a disposable cameo.

Better than no Pike at all, of course.

 

They should have other TOS elements like Janice Rand and Carol Marcus than worrying about Pike. His being in the story could be a detriment to Captain Kirk's authority. Depeneds how he is written.

 

Pike is a great mentor and friend to Kirk and Kirk is in his first command. Will he get out of the wheelchair?

 

New Info

Actually that rumor is very old.

 

And really unlikey, since they already killed off Gary Mitchell in the second issue of the ongoing nuTrek comic.
