Here's where we part ways. To me, too many "Star Trek fans" think in those terms, many rail agianst the mere notion Star Trek might become something meant for the few elite fans and somehow equate "popular" with "dumb" or selling out - Trek could be a whole lot more popular, really there's a grain of something special there that should be shared with "General audiences" - true in order to begin that relationship Star Trek as whole will have to give a piece of itself and alter its nature perhaps just a little bit to gain more appeal.

That's not what I'm saying.

Actually, as I said, the best outcome for me is if the film is both something I like and something that is financial success. If it's popular, great! I'm not preferring the idea of a failure I like to a success I like, I'm just putting my likes before success or failure.

And I don't mind if there's a major overhaul, or they scrap everything, or whatever. All that matters to me is I like the product for what it is, above and seperate to its relationship to past material. I don't have any checklists. I just want a good movie.

This thing is well made.

But FAAAAAAAAAAAKE. Fake as hell.

Yes, as I recall it's going to all turn out to have been a big publicity gambit for the release of "Mission Impossible 3."

Look, I tried to tell you people that Star Trek XI was cancelled, but you didn't listen.

I should have clarified, that was a general rant. Your post simply offered me the opportunity to stand on a soap box to say some things which I have been observing about how Trek fans "guard" the thing they love.

Like I said, I agree if you don't enjoy it... There's been a lot of Star Trek I haven't enjoyed - but one can only know that after one sees the finished product.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!

Why do people keep coming here pronouncing this thing is a fake, when THE CREATOR HAS ALREADY STEPPED FORWARD.

Read the whole thread, people.

My apologies, but when you identified my latter statement as one you don't agree with I thought it was aimed at me.

And Arlo - It's a faaaake!

Spoiler: A minor spoiler about Charlie Jade

In last week's episode, which I just watched today, there is a scene where Julius Galt holds up a data rod - which looks a lot like its DS9 equivalent. He stares at 01 Boxer, who gave him the rod, and says 'It's a fake.' Best unintentional humour ever.

Okay so far i'm impressed.. If it could have the FX of TMP and the story of TWOK and the heart & soul of TOS...then that's A-OK

 

[Capt.April]

It's a FaaaaaKE!!

Darned...i was really hoping to get excited..

When someone pointed out the spelling error my baloon deflated... Oh well.. good try though, i'm kind of glad it is a fake, I really would like to see something different in the Trek world.

That's why it's called a teaser trailer!

Thank you - as we all should know by now, "teaser trailers" only offer a hint of the what the film is. Sharr

Gee thank you. I had no clue as to what a "teaser" should be.

This "teaser" offered nothing. A tease is supposed to offer at least a glimpse and get one interested in more. This teaser was just blah. A bunch of planets in our solar system and a glimpse of a ship in drydock. Nothing that hasn't been seen a million years before.

It would be like doing a strip tease in a parka, snow pants hat and muffler and only taking off the muffler.

Bah.

Quark, Nog and Rom all have boners about now.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!

It's not too bad a teaser if attracting established fans is your main goal. Nobody's getting any goosebumps 'cept us geeks.

Jeez, I didn't know our image management system sucked that bad.

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!

I'll bet the real teaser will have little if any actual footage, since its still filming. Just like the first Transformers teaser.

You bet? Did you miss the news where some director saw it and it's, apparently, not a short teaser but much more? A full trailer, it seems.

Ya gotta be a higher rank to post pics cadet. RTFM!

Re: Teaser Trailer Debunked!

IT'S A FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE! (see picture above)

Isn't that FC music at the beginning, then GEN's music, and then the voiceover from the end of TWOK? I find it hard to believe that the new group would use old music in their new movie, other than the Courage fanfare.

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.

Yeah. The credits stuff was some of that stuff that first made me inclined to think that its a fake. Firstly, I doubt that the Bad Robot logo will be included with the film. Paramount hasn't let other production companies touch Star Trek at all during its 40 year history (except for very briefly on The Animated Series). I doubt that will change here.

I also found the actor billing improbable. I suspect Nimoy will end up at the end in an "and" credit, not at the beginning. I'd also suspect Pine to be billed before Quinto, though rumors are that this movie will be very Spock-centric, so it might be right on that count.

As for using old music & voice overs, that's doesn't prove anything. The 1st Superman Returns teaser used both Jor-El's dialogue & the original John Williams music from the old 1978 movie.

So, any chance we could get this thread retitled?
