OK folks I am closing this one down. I will put up the transcript in 2 minutes…with pics. They are having issues with their connection (NOT MY FAULT!)…but they hope to be back online maybe later. If they do they will jump into the transcript thread.

#434 Thanks, then they can srike a 70mm print from HD pretty easily. How about it JJ? (I’m JJ in real life, btw, so we have that going for us)

#433 Using the original computer voice is such a no brainer as to be a given. If JJ is smart enough to use the real transporter sound in the trailer, getting the computer voice wrong seems unlikely. One of the small disappointments of the real movies (1-6; TNG doesn’t count ((sticks out tongue)) was lack of attention to detail. The communicators were wrong, they didn’t sound right, the bridge didn’t sound like the bridge until V-VI (and then barely), the lack of a Capain’s Log (except in TMP), the transporter was wrong, the music etc, etc, etc.. Seems trivial, but the devil is in the details. JJ seems to get that.

335/422, Yes, Peter Jackson put in 29 minutes of fan credits at the end of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Kevin Smith did the same thing on Clerks II, giving fan credits out to the first 10,000 friends he got on Myspace. I think both directors were attacked by the Hollywood press for doing so, because it belittled the actual crew. I don’t see what was wrong with that.

It’s 3 am here… going to bed now.
Thank you all for this experience. I somehow feel a bit closer to Trek now.
Will there be pushable buttons, hands-on controls, things like that?

JJ, Is there a possibillity for the movie to be pictured in (also) 3D format?I recently watched “Beowulf” with the special glasses and my first thought was that the best movie for such an experience would be “Star Trek”.The Enterprise floating out of the big screen!!!

#411, #413 – guys, gays have been included ever since The Cage. Doctor Boyce was gay, just as chief Pitcairn was, and don’t let me ever start on Lee Kelso. They just didn’t…well… show off their gayness like contemporary gays do. Maybe it fell out of fashion, or something. Point is there is no need to show off their gayness, since, well, in 23rd century it’s OK to be gay. Thus, no more need for exhibicionism, rainbow flags and pride parades.

You seem to envy Uhura. Point is, Uhura doesn’t show off her blackness, she simply is a crewmember who happens to have dark skin. You certainly don’t see her wearing funny etnic beaded hats, worship african gods and whatever – she behaves like any other normal person, she simply has dark skin. She doesn’t get any special treatment from writers, she doesn’t get any special stories just because of her skin color. We actually don’t even know whether she’s straight or bi. And why *should* we care about it, anyway?

#407:

The new movie WILL be Canon, as that’s how Paramount handles things.

Mr. Abrams…

All I want for Christmas is an awesome premiere of Star Trek in Vulcan Alberta, Canada. With all the cast and crew on the red carpet and everything. Can you make the time to make that possible? Will there be any connections of Star Trek with Lost this year as well?
