thats right michaelT, u and I and about 9 others are the only experts here. its sad. oh and RL, I also read that paramount is having them write 2-3 versions of possible story conceptions for Star Trek XI. Of course i read that on line too so who knows how true. I guess i will go with the old saying “Trust half of what u see, and none of what u hear”

No need to shout, bud…. and pardon my doubt… but “experts” are a dime a dozen on this site. No offense intended.

I hate to say it but I don’t remember. If I get a chance I will try and dig it up. But, I am 99% sure I read it online. IT IS NOT OPINION.

I apologise in advance if my information was not correct. But, I am almost positive it was.

Thanks for replying #113 RL

From my first ever post on the “Catspaw” Screenshots thread of October 28th and onwards, I have personally ALWAYS wished that this upcoming Movie be a combination of Bill and Leonard mixed with a fresh, younger cast of actors taking on their roles in some earlier adventure or other…

When using the word “Reboot”, I have only been using it in the sense that this upcoming film is unlikely to be a continuing sequel to the “Nemesis” Movie… the J.J. Abrams designed teaser poster and info. on this fab site have seemed to confirm that…I have NOT meant it in the sense that I regard it as a wholesale overhaul of characters, design ethic, story history etc. I meant “reboot” as in FRESH START for the franchise in Movie terms, to go back to the classic icon roots of the Trek universe.

As you say, you do not have any information yet to back up what you admit is just your opinion…and neither do I or most people on this site actually…LOL, but thanks to this site, like you, I like to think I am roughly in the right ballpark as to where this Movie may be going.

However, I can certainly see how the word can be misinterpreted, and shall henceforth only refer to this Movie as a “Restart” or a “Refresh”.

#112 Adam.
“They should not make this or any other Star Trek movie or TV Series. If it can’t be done just as the real series of the 60s with the same creative people, then I don’t want to see it. The individuals who ‘create entertainment’ nowadays are a bunch of nincompoops.”

Adam,
I understand it’s your opinion… but it’s impossible.
I can’t understand making a comment like that on a site like this when you (or anyone else here) has no control over it.
They can’t use the same creative people because some of them have passed away or retired.
Secondly, it’s being wrtitten right now… despite your opinion.

I guess that means you won’t be in line for the movie. Sorry, bud.

Thanks Mindy,but it sounds like a regurg to me.
#113 RL….You are not attributing a source for this information yet.. I asked you in #99 where you got your information.
Is this your opinion or?

Just heard on the radio that William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy have signed on to appear as Kirk and Spock in Star Trek 11.

Now, take this for what it’s worth. This information comes from a local dj who claimed to have inside info.

This guy is the typical 25 year old rock dj/jerk. So if this info is wrong don’t kill the messenger. But, he is a well known local Trekkie that always talks about TOS. And his love for Captan Kirk. He claimed to have inside infomation from a friend who is associated (may be a writer for Enterprise, if memory serves) with the Star Trek franchise.

Could he be regurgitating the info that came out a couple of months ago that Nimoy and Shatner had signed a contract to be involved in ST 11?

But, I thought I’d pass it along.

Cervantes:

It is going to be the first adventure of Kirk as captain of the Enterprise. But, with new/younger actors. Combined with the return of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as the older versions of Kirk and Spock. Shatner + Nimoy’s exact participation has not been made public yet. My bet is it is post nexus. With Spock saving Kirk. Much the same way Kirk save Spock in ST 3 Although I have no information to back that up (it’s just my worthless opinion). Mr. Nimoy has indicated if he comes back it has to be in a meaty part. Not just a walk on cameo.

There is no reason to reboot the series if that is the idea they are going with.

All indications point to ST history being respected.
