Directing a film is an intensive, more-than-full-time job, during the 3 months, or, so, of shooting. And, even after that, there's editing, ADR and re-shoots to be done. Is he going to be able to give "Star Trek" the attention that it deserves, when he's directing yet another film, and producing a few TV shows? How many other projects was Nick Meyer working on, when he did TWOK? Sounds like Abrams is spreading himself awfully thin.

Just a thought :P #43 The last part would go better with the actual Gilligan’s theme if it went something like:

“The ship achieved orbit of this uncharted desert world
With Kirk and Spock
The Doctor, too
The engineer and his scotch
That Russian guy
Sulu and Uhura
Here on a strange new world!”

Just a thought :P

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from a starship port
Aboard this mighty ship

The first mate was a Vulcan man,
The captain brave and thin
430 crew set sail that day
For a 5 year mission, a 5 year mission

The weather started getting rough,
The mighty ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Enterprise would be lost, the Enterprise would be lost

The ship achieved orbit of this uncharted desert planet
With Spock
The Captain too,
The Doctor and his Nurse,
The Chief Engineer
The Navigator and Chekhov,
Here on some unknown planet!

(this is what comes from drinking too much Romulan Ale! Urrrpp!!)

November 2007 die Dreharbeiten zum neuen Star Trek-Film!! Der Hollywood Reporter berichtet, dass große Namen für Admirals und andere Captains außerhalb der Enterprise-Crew gesucht werden, ebenso für den großen Gegner! Und überraschenderweise ist auch Chekov als Crewmitglied dabei, der eigentlich erst ab Staffel 2 in Erscheinung trat, doch laut Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan bereits in Staffel 1, zur Zeit der Episode Space Seed, mit an Bord gewesen sein musste. Wie auch immer, angeblich befindet sich für diese Rolle der 18jährige Anton Yelchin in Verhandlungen. Altersmäßig würde das auch besser passen, denn Chekov ist mit Jahrgang 2245 zu Beginn der Serie gerade mal 21 gewesen, während Alt-Darsteller Walter Koenig bereits 30/31 Jahre alt war. Anton Yelchin ist somit vielleicht sogar eine bessere Wahl, um diesem Charakter gerecht zu werden, zumal wir es hier wirklich mit jemandem zu tun haben, der tatsächlich aus Russland stammt und lediglich in den USA aufgewachsen ist. Walter Koenig, der aus Chicago (Illinois) stammt, wurde damals übrigens engagiert, um einem Sänger der Gruppe The Monkeys ähnlich zu sein und folglich viele weibliche Fans anzuziehen… dies könnte Yelchin jetzt noch mehr gelingen! In den folgenden zwei Kino-Trailern, in denen der seit 7 Jahren ununterbrochen im Filmgeschäft tätig Yelchin glänzen darf… [...] [...] Die Casting-Welle scheint jetzt richtig ins Rollen zu kommen, denn laut Variety starten bereits am 5.

But That's the way I expect ST XI to be: fresh, modern, but still traditionalistic enough to recognice the Enterprise interiors. The outlook should maybe stay how it is, maybe except the deflector...
