Ok, let's just chill...
If anyone wants to talk about this further feel free to PM me, or each other.
We need to quit dragging this thread off topic though.
Thanks.

My anticipation of this movie just shot up another level.

Well that's... minimalist. Still, it's exciting to witness "official" progress. Can't wait for the (sadly already spoilered) teaser. I registered with the site. Was pleased to see the traditional "Based upon" credit for Roddenberry. So, "...venturing boldly where no man has gone before," huh?

Delta logo looks good.

Cool delta. But, it should read:

"The Human Adventure is Under Construction"

Love it... the logo looks really cool.

And by the way, the registration does work, now.

Well, it solves the discussion in the phony trailer thread about whether it's a Bad Robot production or not.

"Paramount and Level 1 Entertainment [?] present a Bad Robot Production"

The official site uses a variation of the "machine standard" hull font from the original series (it can be found online, I believe, as "Amarillo USAF").

Evidently (SPOILER here for anyone who's really picky about such things) this is the font used on the hull in the teaser trailer.

This is cool in the same way that the JFK/1960s stuff is cool - not because it's nostalgic but because it does a little bit to ground the new "Star Trek" back in its original connections to our world.

Another production company. Some of their other films include last summer's Rendition and a couple of productions with Adam Sandler's company, Happy Gilmore.

^ So 3 production companies.... Let's see $150 million devided by 3.... Each of them is basicly paying $50 mill for making the new film.... I can live with that

"Lost" will cross promote the movie and then you have to find the pieces of the puzzle to form a blurry image of the Enterprise

I don't know enough about Level 1, but Bad Robot is Abrams' creative shingle. Paramount is footing the $150 million for the production, and it's up to Bad Robot to take that money and get the movie made. What Level 1's role in this is, is beyond me.

Re: The official site is up at http://www.paramount.com/star

^ Level 1 handles the Viral end of things perhaps ?

Still not clear what they do with the film.

Re: The official site is up at http://www.paramount.com/star

level 1 is just a financial partner. It saves money and mitigates risk. But Paramount is certainly the senior partner. Bad Robot is Abrams company and they take the money

Re: The official site is up at http://www.paramount.com/star

Did anyone else notice how the actors are billed on the site, at least for now? They're in alphabetical order except for Brana and Nimoy, who are billed at the end after "with."

The synopsis says, "... [A] new version of the greatest space adventure of all time...." Wow. Now that's really selling it.

It needs like the Alexander Courage fanfare playing when the logo fades in, because that's totally what's going through my head when it shows up.

That's exactly what popped up in my head too when that happened.
