Anthony,

Just a heads up that Bjo Trimble’s husband is *John* Trimble.

#48—Exactly. He definitely feels slighted, and has not been shy about conveying that feeling (although he has seemed to let it go now).

#60—Actually, it just wasn’t considered the best course of action. It’s not that they couldn’t, it just would not have been (in their opinions) the best movie to make. How would that have gotten people who didn’t care for Trek before to see the film? It seems to me that such a project would be much lower budget and really more of the same.

#70—I’m pretty sure that would violate the confidentiality agreement in some shape or form.

#86—That is his choice, I’m sure.

I like that Pine is taking the “Ford approach”. IMO, there is no better actor of his era to draw inspiration from in playing action scenes. He (Ford) is by far the most believable actor in such a role. Pine could do a lot worse than taking some cues from the master. I know that some fans will say that Shatner should be his sole model for how Kirk should be played, but IMO, he should be played for who the character is—not who the actor that portrayed him first is…Christopher Reeve did not do a George Reeve impression in Superman: The Movie, nor should Pine do a Shatner impression. He should go (within the script and JJ’s direction) with what feels right. If Ford’s approach to action “feels right” to him, it does nothing but increase my confidence in Pine’s judgement.

- Responding to 83. snake

Shatner’s hip surgery was after He has lost weight and colored his hair.

I Question that Shatner’s weight lost and colored his hair was around the same time Nimoy was film for the new star trek.

I Have a Lot Questions and thoughts/Wishes.
I do THINK Shatner was up to something last year. Is it the new star trek, I do not know.

I find it all Odd. :-0

btw i’m sure JJ has put a couple of Star Wars references in the new Trek somewhere..

just stuff like what was in the Indy films – ‘Club Obi Wan’ in Temple of Doom…C3PO & R2 on the wall of the well of souls in Raifders – that kind of thing

Shatner didnt want to cameo – so maybe they got Ford instead as Kirk

71 – Shatner has lost weight as apparently he nearly died of heart failure whilst having hip surgery

^ Like ADR (aka) Looping dialog for certain scenes where it was too noisy to hear what the actors were saying, like if they’re in a car and the motor is drowning out their voices, “we’ll fix it in post” ;-)
