The Teaser Trailer has arrived!!
- Thread starter DReffects
- Start date
Stock music is often used because the proper soundtrack hasn't even been composed yet.
This "leaked" trailer is exactly what I expect to see frankly. It'll be interesting who ends up with egg on their face here...

There are plenty of fakes on YouTube, but fun:

My German isn't great (actually it's terrible and barely qualifies as comprehension of anything), but they even identified this as Spock's TWOK monologue. Hell, even if you can't speak German, I'm sure you could guess the meaning of this phrase:
Which I can more or less translate as 'identical with the Monologue from the end of Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn [sic]'.
Still, you know something? This is the coolest fakery released about Trek XI so far. If we get anything like this I'll be happy. :thumbsup:

Well, considering every single one of the Germans on the site leaking the trailer thinks it's fake, I'm gonna have to go with "fake".
But we'll see the new one in about a week.

It's about the best fake teaser I've seen yet. Hope the real one is better, though. I wouldn't cue in the fanfare until the Enterprise is visible on the screen, more dramatic.
Why? It used opening theme music from "Generations." It used the voiceover from the end of "ST II." It used CGI planets that ANY of us could download and install and render from. The ONLY part that seemed to require some work was the ship and drydock... and that drydock sure looks like it's a modification of the ST-TMP drydock model (but, oddly, in a different scale compared to the ship inside).
As for the ship itself... we don't see too much, but it looks like the 1701 but with some modified texturing.
I'm giving this a 75% chance of being a fake. But I won't be shocked if it IS the real thing, either.
My biggest "beef" with this, if it IS the real trailer, is that it's so obviously designed to appeal to the "hardcore fans" and will do NOTHING to bring non-Trek-fans into the theater. Seriously... if you see that, and you're not a Trek fan... how did that trailer just convince you that this is a movie "I've gotta see?"
I think it's a fake (purposefully avoiding the Romulan-dude hissing yell thingy!).

The creator of this, Daniel Broadway, has come forward and owned up. See Post No. 26 over at TrekMovie.com:

Poached or scrambled? Looks like this particular April Fools egg hit me a few months early this year!
That was some fantastic CGI for a fan trailer though, Daniel.

So it has been debunked as a fake.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!
as ChristopherPike posted above, the creator of this has come forward and admitted it's a fake. Even without that, I found an error in the credits that made me think this was a hoax.
Stratton Leopold is listed in the credits as an Executive Producer. However, Leopold left the production last month and has been replaced by Jeffrey Chernov as an Executive Producer. Chernov has also taken over as a unit production manager from Leopold.
Maybe Leopold's name will remain in the credits because of the work he did prior to leaving (maybe), but I would think that Chernov's name would be listed also.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!
If you listen closely enough you can hear the soundtrack from STII underneath Nimoy's voice over.
After being duped by the teaser poster in the other thread, I must admit I am tiring of people posting these "what if" concoctions and instead of being up front about it, passing it off as something else.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!
But where's the fun in that?
Actually, I'm getting to where I won't be surprised at all if on December 25, 2008 we find out this whole thing was an elaborate hoax.
Instead of the movie, Abrams will appear on screen and say, "What are you doing here on Chistmas? Don't you have family you should be at home with on this day? What geeks you all are." He will be followed by Shatner appearing long enough to say, "Get a life." The snip of film will end with the sound of Nimoy's taunting laughter as the credits roll.
ETA: And it will still take in $40 million on its first weekend.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!
Good trailer. I liked it. Now I'm ready for the real one!
Hey, kinda off-topic concerning Nimoy's voiceover. I haven't listened to it in a while, but doesn't his "Space ..." voiceover appear on the official soundtrack?
Boy, I really feel the need to find that thing and give it a spin.

It's too bad it wasa fake, I thought it all looked extremely good, except the shuttle pod. I personally got excited.
