[...] Is Shatner in or not? Who knows. I hope they do get him. He is Captain Kirk. And it seems the USS Enterprise may have a different design that what was in the original show. Not sure how I feel about that. You can’t just change the design of the ship. That wouldn’t be right. This isn’t like doing a remake of Bionic Woman or even Battlestar Glactica. This is Star Trek. No show has had as much impact on the world. But if they added a little more detail to make it pop, that would be fine. Story [...]

“That’ll show them stupid Hollywood people”

Now, THX……..a little redundant putting the word “stupid” in, no?

You tell ‘em, Andrew. Goddamned SOB’s anyway. Who are they to go around making movies? I say take it one step further:

If they don’t put Shat in the movie, all his fans should leave the country. Whatever country they are currently living in, that is. That’ll show them stupid Hollywood people. Yeah.

mmm about the enterprise..Thing is, the design has such strength that it still holds itself high as one of the best designs ever.. seeing “in a mirror darkly’ on ENT..proved how good it still looks..

But heres the thing, i will enjoy studying the exterior shots for the new movie. so i can play a game of “spot the difference”..I am so lookin forward to XI, its not funny…..

this comment by “”StarTrekRockerGirl”"

“It is certainly possible here to allow the writers and designers to have some leeway and flexability with the design, and have a little fun with their imagination along the way.”

and
“Please don’t flog me too much. Believe me, I love the original E as much as the next cadet, but I also want to give the new team every possible chance to succeed. I honestly think they will follow their hearts, and give us the best they can. All we have to do is give them a chance.”

could not agree with you more..wow, infact you have made think on possible aesthetics..I think it will be great regardless..

a commendation for original thinking :D..

This ship is why i became an illustrator in the first place!

We don’t really need Shatner in the movie. I suspect that he is not involved because (production) people know he would want too much imput in the script etc. It is well known that he is very demanding and interfering.

Nimoy however, has always been successful when he has been given a good input of directing or writing.

Spock really was the defining icon of Star Trek and by far the most interesting character. It seems this movie revolves around Spock – well it’s about time!
Maybe now we’ll get a get a good one!
Thank God Nimoy is heavely involved even if Zach Quinto will probably get most of the action – Nimoy will be there keeping everyone in check.

Go Leonard ! – show ‘em how it really should be done.
This movie is going to be GREAT.

I can sum up my thoughts on the new Trek film very simply:

NO SHATNER, NO TICKET

Very simple. If he’s not in the movie, I’m not going. I’ll wait until it’s on TV. Won’t even rent the DVD. No action figures, memorabilia… nothing will I buy.

So if you want my $$, make the call and give us Shatner.

See, simple.

In reference to #14…

You mentioned Kirk’s father…I read a wonderful Star Trek paperback years ago (sorry, the title escapes me) that had Jame Kirk visiting the then uncommissioned and un0named Enterprise at the ago of 12. Jame’s father was a a high-up in Starfleet security and it involved a secret mission with the then un0named, un-numbered iconic vessel. Was a very good story.

In reference to the potential ship and set diesgns…I hope to have that air of familiarity and comfort with some 21st century updates. The same also goes for the cast. I am very much looking forward to this project being a fan since the 60’s.

I am however very skeptical of any story that involves changes in the now legendary timeline…and if this means not bringing “old” Kirk into the film, so be it.

In any regards, I enjoy reading the rumors, comments, et al. Keep it up people…

#166 — I could not agree with you more. “If it ain’t broke don’t break it”. Some subtle changes here and there — fine. But the TOS Enterprise design should not be messed with. I’m also assuming we’ll be seeing a “Cage”/”Where No Man Has Gone Before” style Enterprise, uniforms, equipment, etc.

A new redesigned USS Enterprise that still takes place in the original timeline? I’m not too happy about this. In fact, I’d be more happy if someone involved with this film had the balls to officially announced that this movie, simply titled “Star Trek”, is a remake of TOS.
