Star Trek Trailer Description Online September 12, 2008
by Anthony Pascale , Filed under: Paramount, Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback
Last month TrekMovie reported that the first theatrical trailer for JJ Abrams Star Trek movie was edited, awaiting some effects shots, and should be shown sometime in 2008. Now at AICN has a report from a UK press screening where Paramount showed off portions of a number of their 2009 films.
Description sent in to AICN
We saw the teaser trailer and then we saw what looked to be a very very early version of the full trailer – It showed more footage of [Quinto] as Spock, much more Chris Pine and also some John Cho and Simon Pegg footage. The film looks like immense fun and there seems to be a lot of action in it. There look of the crew and the bridge is spot on and the costumes look like the original but with a more modern and practical twist. We got to see Spock talking to his parent as well and Kirk being told to take more responsibility. There were also a lot of montage scenes involves spaceship battles, gun fights and hand to hand combat. I especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise – reminded me of Next Generation loads.
Sounds like fun. TrekMovie is still trying to confirm a date for the trailer and will provide an update as soon as possible.
More on descriptions of other Paramount films, including GI Joe and Watchmen (which they are distributing internationally) at AICN.

I hope they have it right this time!
Must ….See ….Trailer…
“Star Trek – We saw the teaser trailer and then we saw what looked to be a very very early version of the full trailer – It showed more footage of Quito as Spock, much more Chris Pine and also some John Cho and Simon Pegg footage.”
This was curious wording. It definitely makes it sound as if there was footage of Quinto and Pine in the Teaser, which of coarse there wasn’t. Perhaps the teaser he spoke of was the new teaser that should be coming soon I would imagine? Or perhaps he’s just full of shit.
bring it on, bring it out! first
can’t wait!
Scooped!
This rocks!!!! I really hope this isn’t a joke. Cause it just sounds awesome. I can’t wait to see Pegg playing off Scotty!
Did someone thell this guy to spare us the details? or did he sign one of them confidentiality agreements?
Feel free to spill the beans! Details, details, details!!!!!
Must have details!!!!!
KHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
Oh great, “montage scenes involves spaceship battles, gun fights and hand to hand combat”…”the crew running through the corridors…”.
I can’t wait! I heard a rumor that Darth Vader was going to be Luke’s DAD! Do you think it’s true?
#3 – “This was curious wording. It definitely makes it sound as if there was footage of Quinto and Pine in the Teaser, which of coarse there wasn’t. Perhaps the teaser he spoke of was the new teaser that should be coming soon I would imagine? Or perhaps he’s just full of shit.”
Read it again… it said…. “We saw the teaser trailer (the one released with CLOVERFIELD) AND THEN we saw what looked to be a very very early version of the full trailer…” The footage he describes was NOT in the teaser… it was in the rough cut of the FULL TRAILER.
That little bit of information is making me geek out for this movie again, BIG TIME!
What are the speculations on what movie this could be attached to? The Curious Case of Benjamin Button???
Not sure about that last bit…. ;)
Wow, I would love to see a new trailer and the NEW Enterprise.
# 11 MORN SPEAKS
According to that AICN link above, the ‘movie’ will be attached to the ‘Transformers 2′ trailer…. ;)
I have goose bumps just thinking about it….and when a brit says “spot on” you have to believe that it is going to be “brilliant”…lol…
Honestly, I would be surprised if we got to see this by Christmastime. We are still what…8 months away?
Does anyone remember how long before the Dark Knight was released that we got to see the first trailer for it? Is this question relevant?
I say it’ll be a few months yet before the campaign for this movie really kicks into high gear.
#10
In order to see “more footage” and “much more footage” of Quinto and Pine, you would have had to of seen some footage in the first place. I reiterate, the way he worded it sounds as if he was referring to the Teaser they showed before the unfinished trailer.
16;
There was a teaser for TDK released a full year before the film, by December 07 there had been 1 full trailer and “The Dark Knight Prologue” was released in IMAX with “I Am Legend.”
Perhaps there is a new teaser trailer as well as a full trailer. Either way I can’t wait to see it!!!
# 11 MORN SPEAKS
Scrub what I said in post #14. It’s way past my bedtime and I misunderstood your question. I just hope it’s attached to the biggest Movie going, whatever that is at the time….
‘night all.
Me agrees with Prologic9. Sounds fake.
Sounds good. I like the fact he said the uniforms were “like the original but with a more modern and practical twist.” and the “bridge is spot on”…
That should make Trekies happy!
I hope Paramount takes a risk and buys some Superbowl air time!
we can have the most descriptive summaries down to the verymost detail… and still, SEEING and HEARING – especially the first, uh, I don’t know, 50 to 100 times – THAT is going to be …
THE WOMEN!!
=h=
yes, finally!
There’s gotta be a trailer before one of the holiday movies … I’ve been hoping there will be one during the Super Bowl.
Lets just hope the hype of this movie does not equal the Fringe hype of best show this year…cause that show sucked..imo
We need a bootleg youtube copy. Come on you Limies help us out!!!
YAWWWWWWN.
Sorry, but this seems to be another case of “telling us everything and telling us nothing.” Until we here more detailed and accurate descriptions from more, varied sources, this rumor sounds like something that ANYONE could have made up on their own, with 5 minutes to spare:
“It showed more footage of [Quinto] as Spock, much more Chris Pine and also some John Cho and Simon Pegg footage.” Um, what KIND of footage exactly? Are they firing phasers? Running around on an alien planet? Playing Yahtzee? Picking their noses? What?
“The film looks like immense fun and there seems to be a lot of action in it.” NO! You don’t say! You mean, like, in EVERY “STAR TREK” film ever made???
“The look of the crew and the bridge is spot on and the costumes look like the original but with a more modern and practical twist.” Hasn’t this been confirmed for weeks/months? How about some DETAILS?
“We got to see Spock talking to his parent as well and Kirk being told to take more responsibility.” Anyone with any inkling of the supposed plot could have come up with this in 2 seconds.
“There were also a lot of montage scenes involves spaceship battles, gun fights and hand to hand combat. I especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise.” Oh, Judas H. Priest… again: Seen in just about ANY “TREK” movie and/or episode ever made!
Stop jerkin’ our chain, AICN… either get a more detailed description or admit that “icaddyforjohnnydrama” just wanted to see his own moniker posted on your website. And c’mon, Anthony… this is so vague, I’m surprised you even posted this. This isn’t a description… it’s pure conjecture.
I guess Bob ‘O can’t tell us everything.
I tend to agree with #29… Just give me the damn trailer…
Anyway…
” especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise – reminded me of Next Generation loads.”
Next Generation loads? What loads? What does that mean?
I think he meant it reminded him “loads” of Next Generation, meaning “a lot”.
Which is a VERY bad sign.
I’d just like to see the trailer. Also, how about a screen capture of the Enterprise or a movie poster with the new Enterprise. No need to keep that secret. We saw Batman’s new motorcycle 6 months before the movie.
Wow. A description of a trailer. How exciting.
HAHA I agree with #29 SPOT ON!!! That was the most intentionally vague description of a movie trailer or preview or whatever…..I have ever read! And exactly like what he described every single description sounded like someone thought…ok…now the new star trek movie should have running and guns and shooting and spaceships and battles and more action and a parent of spocks and for kirk to be responsible hehehe sheesh!
Anthony where is that alien you throw out every time somethings fake? Where is the General Colonel sanders or whatever he is was ???? BRING HIM OUT! HAHAHA
And if for some strange reason this guy really did see a trailer or preview of the movie..well this person should not be writing for a living….Except maybe for first grade weekly readers or dick and jane…..see dick go up a hill….what kinda hill? What angle was slope in? What color was the grass? Was it rocks? A Field WHAT??? ahahahah
“”It’s a FAAAAAAAAAKE!”"
lol. Maybe, who knows.
loads = lads . . . if not,, ewwwwwwww!! “gun fight” who brings a gun to a phaser fight!! PEW! PEW!
Well, I saw a part of a movie, but it was really just a buncha scenes together, then the short whatever it was ended.
AICN. Where making “there” and “their” interchangeable is our job.
For those asking how early we got to see a trailer for The Dark Knight…
The Dark Knight was a sequel to an already successful movie. I think they knew they were going to have a hit on their hands anyway. So, showing a trailer/pics/etc waaaaay early for that movie wasn’t going to affect anyway.
STAR TREK(2009) isn’t exactly in the same shoes. Of course we know it is a pseudo sequel/prequel/reboot/re-everything, but the general public doesn’t. So, they would most likely think of this as movie number 1.
With that in mind… Who knows if we’ll get to see things(trailers/pics/etc) as early as TDK since no one really knows how successful ST will be. If they reveal things too early to this fan base and receive a back lash of negative opinions… Then they’ve pretty much screwed themselves. I’d rather see the movie and be surprised.
Maybe we should have a contest for the best fake description of the unreleased trailer…
AICN again manages to make me not want to see this movie. The whole “Apple-esque bridge design” thing being the first. Now it reminds them of “TNG”? If that means what I think it means, it means me no likey.
Wow. 40-some posts and only one person so far touched upon the article’s TNG reference, following it with the inevitable, hackneyed slap at that show. I’m proud of you guys. I thought people would be jumping all over that comment and over-analyzing it to death by now. Good for you for taking the high road.
Any sign of Shatner in it ????
HeH
Oops. Looks like I may have spoken to soon. Two jabs at TNG now. Come on, people. Don’t turn this into another tired, old TNG-bashing thread. Rise above it. I know you can.
Thank god they didn’t say it looked like DS9. We would have been in real trouble.
BRING ME THE HEAD OF VREENAK!!!
oh yeah, the women…
=h=
#45 Nightmare — you don’t stay caught up with the news much, do ya? :)
And what the heck’s with the TNG bashing? Last time I checked, that was *still* the best of the Trek shows (though DS9 is quite up there, as well).
PLEASE let this trailer debut soon! I’m so sick of waiting, I need something new!
“Thank god they didn’t say it looked like DS9. We would have been in real trouble.”
DS9 was the best of the bunch.
Any big Paramount flicks they could tie the trailer to?
Eagle Eye hopefully!
Sounds like BS. I’ll believe it when I see it.
29 – ““The film looks like immense fun and there seems to be a lot of action in it.” NO! You don’t say! You mean, like, in EVERY “STAR TREK” film ever made???”
I wouldn’t say they were ALL immense fun…some were no fun at all. >:>{
TNG was very good, but that doesn’t mean they have to make a movie set in the TOS time period to look like TNG. A majority of the photos I have seen from the new movie sets do NOT look like TNG; the controls have physical switches etc. What I did see of the bridge in those pictures looked more like Jason of Star Command than TNG, and that’s not a good thing. I am hoping they didn’t throw the TOS design aesthetic completely out the window. I think they can update and expand on the original aesthetic and still make a workable 21st century movie, one acceptable to a modern audience.
And this description of the screening IS vague on specifics, and specifically vague…
From the AICN article…
” Seems a lot of major trailers will be coming out in November …”
I hope that means Trek too. That would be cool.
OMG! They said it was like TNG! We’re really getting a new TNG movie! HAHAHAH! Take that TOS fans!!!
AICN is not exactly novice in sourcing leaks. Either there was a distributor screening in England or there wasn’t.
If this is true, it has to be EAGLE EYE, because Paramount doesn’t have another wide release for the rest of the year.
Bottom line: trailer in 2 weeks.
That trailer description sounded like it came from an 800# Psychic…
” I see Quinto as Spock and he is talking to…someone who could be a parent (what kind of Trek fan would know it was Spocks parent and not know a NAME)…I see Pine as Kirk…and there is a spaceship and reimagined costumes…ooooh…a space battle and a fist fight….”
If one of US saw this trailer we would be describing things in DETAIL not THIS vague BS. This is NOT well written enough to be a plant and was certainly not written by a fan so I call FAKE and/or waste of time. MOF all this did was annoy me,
Wow, some of you guys overreact so much it’s not even funny anymore. Some random person says it reminds them of TNG (which could be in ANY way) and predictably there’s a few posters that say, “OH NOES THAT IS A BAD SIGN! TERRIBLE!”
Wait until you see the actual trailer. Hell, see the whole movie if you’re really curious. You have months to make plans. ;)
Anthony.
Can we move the Shanter article back to the top of the list?
Scooped! REDACTED.
FOUND IT!

The internet – where good ideas go to die.
Is Next Gen really the new golden age of Trek?
Interesting….
Though I miss news about McCoy. There’s quite a lack of him so far :/
#58 – “because Paramount doesn’t have another wide release for the rest of the year”
Curious Case of Benjamin Button?
No details from that description – I’m thinking it’s bunk. Do not believe.
The corridors reminiscent of TNG makes sense. The Next Gen corridors were based on the TMP designs and the new Enterprise is described as a updated mix of TOS and TMP designs…When talking about TNG, they are just talking about the CORRIDORS, not the film itself…
oh come on, AP. I am waiting to hear…
IT’s
a..
FAAAAAAAAAAKE!!
rock on Vreenak.
=h=
If TNG was the best of the Trek series, then why did Paramount pull the plug on its cast’s movie series? Perhaps because the characters and actors did not match the screen presence and charisma of the TOS cast. That’s pretty much why Paramount is putting big bucks on the line to rejuvenate the franchise and return to the characters who drew fans in in the first place. IMHO, the groundbreaking TOS is the first, best destiny of the living long and prospering franchise. Some of the spin-offs, while entertaining enough, are pretty much like what Beatlemania was to the Beatles. Again, IMHO.
IF everyone remembers, this same secrecy and mindless corporate doubletalk accompanied nemesis pre-release…sigh…
Before bashing the movie for being too action oriented (we have yet to see), remember that every Trek movie had action and fights. The so highly praised First Contact is, in my humble opinion, a very dull zombie action movie :)
#70 “If TNG was the best of the Trek series, then why did Paramount pull the plug on its cast’s movie series?”
Perhaps because after 178 hours of television, they had already exhausted their best plot lines and character moments… and they went immediately into restricted budget features without a break — with the same creative people behind the scenes.
TOS on the other hand, only did 79 episodes and was canceled after a lousy third season… lied fallow… then was resurrected a decade later first as a big budget space-epic-spectacle-extravaganza and subsequently re-invented as a violent, fast-paced action-adventure saga with a completely new look and set of creative people behind the scenes.
I’ve always viewed TNG as the best Trek television series and TOS as the best Trek movie series. One worked better as a TV show, the other worked better as films.
Hot damn!! At least they finally have an edit!!
#55 -
Some TREK films were certainly more fun than others, but I was referring more to the “there’s a lot of action in it” part more than anything else.
Of course, THE MOTION PICTURE was about as action-packed as MY DINNER WITH ANDRE, now that I think about it…
[...] ist brigens noch immer nicht bekannt, wann der nchste Trailer der ffentlichkeit gezeigt wird. Star Trek Trailer Description Online | TrekMovie.com Achtung – Bitte in diesem Thread keine Kommentare oder dergleichen posten. Aktuelle News sind [...]
“the costumes look like the original but with a more modern and practical twist.”
PLEASE, no cargo pants.
#59 – yes, this definitely has the air of a vague “cold reading” based on previously leaked facts. Not very convincing. Even if it’s real it’s so vague as to tell us nothing.
Sounds good – if it’s Vreenak-proof.
Believe it when I see it. AICN often foists bogus ‘news’ on us.
I’m so pumped for this! Been waiting forever for a new trailer!
the spelling / grammer in that blurb was horrible.
Diese Idioten auf diesen Boards… TREK XI wird dermaßen Floppen!
Never mind if you did not get this. ;)
TNG is the best TREK show, hands down. The only TOS story which comes close is TUC (my favorite TOS movie).
TOS was a prototype, TNG was the finished product. Roddenberry saw TNG as the ultimate version of TREK.
I mean… come on…. how can anyone take Kirk for serious? This ridiculous clown on the bridge?
They should have kept Pike. I just hope Pine completely reinvents the character and makes us forget Shatner’s embarrassing characterisation.
THIS IS A DISASTER THERE USING THEY’RE WRONG THIS IS A DISASTER
If I don’t see a trailer or something soon, I’m boycotting this film!
I love how all these reviews (posters, et al) keep mentioning the uniforms are similar to the original ….well if I recall, the pre-Kirk era (pre Lt. Comm. Mitchell) uniforms were just blue and yellow like the ones we see in “The Menagerie” (or “The Cage”) and the bridge of the Enterprise was distinctly grey in color…… no primary colors at all.
Now I’m not saying that they have to have the uniforms or the bridge look exactly like they did, because we know that ‘refits’ are great way to re-do something you didn’t like ……..
Until next time …..
#73 – Or it could be that movie-goers didn’t want to fork over their money to see the less interesting and more flat characters of TNG/”Beatlemania” once the more dynamic original cast/”Beatles” were forced by Paramount to retire because of age rather than ability. I will agree with that TNG ran out of gas and any original ideas long before they hit the big screen (or the small) IMHO.
#83 – Apparently millions of fans take Kirk “for serious.” Shatner as Kirk has left an indelible signature on the whole franchise. The world over, his face is the most recognizable of any character associated with “Trek.” If we had had the wooden Jeffrey Hunter as Pike, or the equally “knotty” Lloyd Bridges or “lumbering” Jack Lord as the starship captain, I seriously question that the franchise would have had the dynamism and longevity it has enjoyed. And IMHO I believe that there are quite literally millions of fans who would agree with me on this point and who take James T. quite seriously indeed. Otherwise, Paramount would not be spending millions of dollars trying to resurrect the original characters to reinvigorate the franchise.
#83 – Come on now …. I love TNG, but it is far from the best Trek Series or the culmination of Roddenberry’s vision (although “First Contact” is the best Star Trek movie ever!!!!). Besides Ron Moore himself would have alot to say about this ‘vision’. TOS will always be the best!!!!!
**************
About the new Enterprise looking like TNG era, where is the talk about it looking like the Enterprise NX-01. In my humble estimation that ship is the best adaptation of what a real functional starship would look like (but per my wife….”what the hell do I know”).
Oh, and how come no one this blog ever give props to ‘Enterprise the Series’ … I mean, come on, it wasn’t that bad…..
This ‘ trailer’ does not even mention the apearence of nimoy’s Spock…. FAAAAAKE !!!! Vreenak, make the call please.
Anyone with the slightest idea about this movie could have come out with these vague, often talked about probable scenes.
Its bull.
Prove me wrong.
Bring on Vreenak.
AICN again pumps out another pile of worthless shite!
*dances happy little orion dance”
too vague…. believe it when I see it.
something tells me that the movie will be crap, we will all sit up and say…
There will only be one kirk and spock and mccoy and scotty… the ORIGINALS!
#88 – I didn’t start watching ENT until maybe a year ago, and I thought it was sufficiently entertaining myself.
I liked the description right up until the mention of the Next Gen.
I grew up on TOS…and I was apprehensive when TNG came along. When I finally got to watch it, I fell in love with it. It’s very different from TOS but it’s a beautiful show in its own right.
People are way too serious about this movie. It’s not going to be an exact replica of TOS, it can’t. TOS was a product of a place in time…much at JJ’s version will be a product of our time. Strangely enough, I guess Kirk knew what he was talking about when he said, “People can be very frightened of change”. Change is inevitable people….grow with it, accept it….or you can sit out on your lawn with a pellet gun telling kids to keep of the grass, which is essentially what all this is anyway. If Trek taught me anything, it was to evolve and not cling to the past. Stop clinging to your childhoods like a security blanket. So many people here claim to be huge Trek fans but they reject the very principles that it taught.
“the first theatrical trailer for JJ Abrams Star Trek movie was edited, awaiting some effects shots, and should be shown sometime in 2008.”
Well it’s September 13 now ,so that leaves us with only 3 months left. So well see something soon.
And if J.J.’s still reading posts like he said he does.
Then I can say I’ve waiting eagerly to see this footage,and can’t wait till the film comes out in the spring.
But your being a major ass with the severe lack of info,and imagery that should have been out by now.
I’ll be looking all over the net for imagery I can find,since your being ridiculous about the whole thing.
Somebody somewhere has got illegal footage.
You know its out there.
But I still like you J.J.
Truth be told, this description tells us nothing. Of course the trailer will have Spock and Kirk in it, as well as images of spaceships and action sequences. What else would it have?
I could have wrote that description about the movie before they had even started the script.
I also took the comment to mean that there is another teaser trailer that is finished, and a full-length trailer that is incomplete. In other words, the trailer showing the construction of the Enterprise is a pre-teaser trailer and shows nothing from the actual movie.
Look, the trailer is either on EAGLE EYE in two weeks or it’s on ‘BENJAMIN BUTTON at Christmas.
David Fincher [BUTTON] has a long history of overhyped movies that fail big time. And Brad Pitt has only opened a fraction of his movies “big.” So why would Paramount put all their eggs in an Academy Film basket with moderate BO chances?
EAGLE EYE is more 18-35yo-oriented, so I’d put money on the trailer popping in two weeks.
#83 Einthoven
Rather than the Kirk character of the original TOS series being a ‘ridiculous clown’ that no-one could take seriously, I’d say that his onscreen portrayal by William Shatner ended up in well-rounded and multi-faceted characterization that plausably would have instilled loyalty, respect, and feelings of camaraderie in those around him. He had a welcome and inherent sense of fun (thanks to the writers at the time) when the moment allowed, but could immediately take any hard decisions with the necessary seriousness, and be the first in the firing line when the situation required.
I know whose crew I’d have preferred to have been on, given a choice….
I like my fictional Starfleet leaders to have a good sense of humour at times. I really hope that the writers of this re-launch do too….
As far as the ‘look’ of this supposedly TOS-’based’ Movie, I’m looking forward to seeing just HOW much J.J. has ‘NEXT GEN’d’ the Production Design in this…. While I don’t expect to see the full TOS ‘colourfulness’ of the 60’s in every area, I sure hope this supposed TOS-’based’ re-launch isn’t merely a re-hash of the TNG -era stylings and muted colours throughout either. If there proves to be a more ‘TNG series’ Production Design slant to this TOS-’based’ Movie than a ‘TOS series’ one, then I’ll end up thinking that the current makers might have been far better giving ‘new audiences’ a COMPLETELY NEW and previously UNSEEN Starfleet crew from a DIFFERENT era….which they could have REALLY brought an unfamiliar creative Production Design ‘look’ to….
The first theatrical trailer will reveal quite a bit of the eventual direction that this Movie’s ‘TOS’ look or otherwise has turned out, and I hope it reflects the original TOS series in more than just character names….
There isn’t actually a rule that says a distributors trailer will be attached to one of it’s own releases. It happens when it’s convenient, and when it’s not it doesn’t.
I will just say this. I don’t think this movie will flop and I doubt it’s a TNG MOVIE, BUT… (yes.. BUT) in the unlikely case where the movie flops or flaps or even FLIPS, you can always call Nicholas Meyer, he is a sure shot ;-)
Next Gen??? If I see any orange phaser beams, I will lose all respect for JJ and then I will puke.
I think I’ll make up the most fantastic trailer any fan could imagine, then post it online and bask in my 15 minutes of fake fame. I could come up with a doozy and have everyone flipping out.
#58 – Paramount has a wide release scheduled on December 25th… The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. THIS would be the most likely next date for a trailer to appear.
The trailer will NOT pop in two weeks.
Until I see this trailer for myself…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qKcJF4fOPs
I said this in another forum, I hope that whoever is designing the full trailer, would have the same level of sophistication the teaser trailer had.
And I was hoping for the same level of tease the original trailers for Star Trek The Motion Picture would be done. I liked how they showed head shots mixed with glimpses of the new Enterprise and gave very little away about the plot.
As someone said above, it’s unfortunate modern trailers spoon feed you almost the entire movie. I guess Hollywood feels the general audience won’t get excited to see something unless they show you all the good stuff in the movie. That’s unfortunate you can’t be more creative and do more with less.
I for one hope we do NOT see any exterior shots of the Enterprise in any trailer or poster! I want to see it for he first time when I’m sitting in the theater and she makes her grand entrance. It will have so much more meaning then!
Must…have…trailer….
Photo….
Sound byte….
SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
CURSE YOU, J.J.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(But we love you, anyway….)
#109
Sorry, they aren’t going to have a trailer for the film without showing the freaking SHIP. I have to admit, I like your idea, though.
sounds very generic description to me which means its fake.
Wow lots of action, combat & spaceship battles…ya think?! fakers!
93. original is better – September 13, 2008
“something tells me that the movie will be crap, we will all sit up and say…
There will only be one kirk and spock and mccoy and scotty… the ORIGINALS!”
Then why are you here?
The new trailer will be shown before the new Harry Potter film, Oh wait, that got pushed back to next summer too.
Fun, epic, looks like the cheapskates at Paramount actually gave it a big budget? Can’t wait!
Although, I can wait to see the new E, as I’m sure I’ll be disappointed with their tinkering around with the exterior…
i could have written that and i aint seen the trailer
here goes-
The trailer shows some characters from the film and the ship and some action !
Big shock there tell us somethin we dont know
#30: “I guess Bob ‘O can’t tell us everything.”
—Yeah, where is Mr. Orci now? :o) Bob, come back and conform this!
#41:
“The Dark Knight was a sequel to an already successful movie. I think they knew they were going to have a hit on their hands anyway. So, showing a trailer/pics/etc waaaaay early for that movie wasn’t going to affect anyway.”
—What about Iron Man? That was a first run movie…but Favreau was VERY generous in releasing pics, clips and more WAY before the release. Did not hurt Iron Man’s success one bit. Favreau was fan-centered. The trek people appear to be british marketing-centered. Hence the British press getting the look-see before the “fans”. Well, I guess if JJ is your friend, you’ve already seen it too. :o)
Actually if it is a Brit saying ‘loads’ they mean ‘lots’
If the Trek crew wants to hold stuff back….just want you to know that I could wait another month for a trailer without complaining…as long as I had a few jpegs of the crew in uniform and the complete Enterprise (not sure how many changes the big goes through during the movie, but a nice shot of the one we end up with would be great).
#27 Very few people have had that opinion of Fringe. I think it will be exactly what we expected. A j.j homage to Xfiles and Twilight Zone.
By the way Dark Knight teasers were running for months before the movie.
I would expect a full trailer with one of the big releases during the holidays. The excitement will build to hysteria!
It must really be a slow news day… First of all, I believe this fake, and if it’s not fake then it’s one of the worst descriptions of a trailer I have ever read. You could probably replace elements of tthe description with other movies and you could get:
“We saw the teaser trailer and then we saw what looked to be a very very early version of the full trailer – It showed more footage of [Elijah Wood] as Frodo, much more Viggo Mortensen and also some Ian McKellen and Billy Boyd footage. The film looks like immense fun and there seems to be a lot of action in it. There look of the cast and Middle Earth is spot on and the costumes look like the original book but with a more modern and practical twist. We got to see Gollum talking to himself as well and Frodo being told to take more responsibility. There were also a lot of montage scenes involveing epic battles, sword fights and hand to hand combat. I especially like a short clip where we see Sam and Frodo walking through the Shire – reminded me of the Lord of the Rings cartoon.”
… Well, I guess if JJ is your friend, you’ve already seen it too. :o)
So, by showing the early screenings, does JJ think less of his friends, or more of his friends?
I guess he trusts them to see the big picture before the paint is dry.
But, apparently, letting others see a half finished movie is hardly his stye.
Or is it?
SOMEONE LEAK THE TRAILER ALREADY!
Sounds interesting, as far as it goes, though it doesn’t really tell us much.
But it’s from AICN, and I take everything I hear from them with a LARGE grain of salt.
Batman Begins wasn’t a hit. It only made 200 mil it’s theatrical run. I am surprised that TDK has made over 500 mil so far. Where where all you people when BB came out?
124. Energize
Still hiding from the awful first 4 movies.
Which makes me wonder, will previous sub-par Treks wreck this movie at the Box Office?
WE NEED MORE BUZZ!!!!

I imagine that if this were a fake report one of the Trek folk would have let Anthony know by now that no such presentation was made. He checks these things out pretty good.
I just can’t wait for the Trailer. This will be HUGE!!!!. If he will show this soon then Ill call off the I.S.S Enterprise from Attacking J.J s House. Long Live The Terran Empire!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#29 exactly… more non-news
I for one am sick of reading of what might be, and feel the hype is all there is to sucker us in opening weekend
if good then show us, stop the tabloid grasping
I have a bad feeling about this….
I keep thinking back to the crappy excuse of a finale for “Enterprise”.
Seriously folks, after the “touchy feeley PC” ST: Voyager and the lackluster support from the Studio for “Enterprise” I keep expecting yet another let down.
Need I remind you about the poor release timing of “Nemesis”?
Paramount needs to get the trailer in theaters in Nov or early December. The last thing ordinary moviegoers heard about “Star Trek” (the teaser on “Cloverfield”) was that it was coming out December 25, so Paramount needs to seriously advertise that the movie is now a May release at least a few weeks before December 25. Otherwise, they’ll get tons of complaints like “whatever happened to the new Star Trek movie? Wasn’t that supposed to be out this Christmas?”
Paramount needs to move heaven and earth to get the trailer attached either to “Quantum of Solace” or “Day the Earth Stood Still”.
Odkin…shut yer yap.
Not in the mood to pester, but haven’t you thought that MAYBE they are tinkering their enterprise as it might have looked way too MONSTER-TRUCK-like to be the good old gal?
Does anyone know when the new trailer will debut, I’m thinking there’s two possible films it could be with: either Eagle Eye in a couple of weeks or November with Quantum of Solace (as a bit of payback for putting the first spot for that film on Fringe last week).
I would think the new Star Trek trailer would be on Eagle Eye next week.
Then again, the preview for Eagle Eye in IMAX is going to be a short teaser for Transformers 2 if Paramount can get their crap in line.
135. Jay,
Quantum of Solace would be a perfect place would the next teaser or trailer. Highly anticipated movie with its’ own well-established fanbase.
“ahem,This is AICN, and now the fake news…”
No mention of Leonard Nimoy in the trailer?
Must we wait until the holiday season to see the trailer? I’d be nice to at least see some frozen screen shots to tease the audience, and it’d be fun to try and see if we can spot those particular frames when we see the movie.
140 fansince9… I think November/December is the best we can hope for. Paramount didn’t release the trailer for Indiana Jones 4 (a Memorial Day movie) until February.
If they hadn’t already put out the “CHRISTMAS 2008″ teaser, I don’t think we’d get the full trailer until next spring, but they did, and now they need to do something to promote the May release date with the general public before Christmas.
Christmas Day is a bloodbath in theaters: MARLEY AND ME: THE SPIRIT and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON.
If ‘BUTTON’ is Paramount’s ingenious plan to publicize STAR TREK, then someone needs to think again.
The geek audience will be at THE SPIRIT.
Families will be at MARLEY.
And BUTTON will split the date, geezer and Academy audiences with MARLEY.
Maybe the trailer won’t pop in two weeks, but it certainly would make sense to run the trailer early and often throughout the holiday season.
QUANTUM OF SOLACE on November 14 makes sense, too.
103: You could very well see orange phaser beams… remember The Cage? :)

Perhaps. But that so-called “report”, even if true, revealed absolutely nothing which was not known already. And Anthony must have realized that; hence, no spoiler warning.
“I especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise – reminded me of Next Generation loads.”
Oh lawd, that’s scares me a bit. Especially since TNG never seemed to have ANYONE in the ship’s corridors..much less crewmwmbers running. The ship was much smaller in TOS, but it sure seemed a lot busier. I guess because they were fighting the perils and dangers of the universe instead of arguing about whether or not a kid should be allowed on the bridge.
Dear JJ:
I’m with you.
To be screaming for a full trailer 8 months before the movie release date is ridiculous. Save the first looks of the Enterprise as well as the cast & set shots for when you really need them. During the buildup to the friggin release date!
I can’t wait, but I can. Ya know what I mean?

“Paramount is screening footage of their big 2009 movies for international press, and the resulting buzz on JJ Abrams’ Star Trek is very positive – and that’s before you learn about the full-length trailer for another much anticipated movie that’s going to be accompanying it into theaters next May. Are you ready for a colorful, fun journey into the stars?
Over at Ain’t It Cool, a reader who attended the Paramount press junket in London reported back on his take on what he saw of Abrams channeling Rodenberry:
We saw the teaser trailer and then we saw what looked to be a very very early version of the full trailer – It showed more footage of Quito as Spock, much more Chris Pine and also some John Cho and Simon Pegg footage. The film looks like immense fun and there seems to be a lot of action in it. There look of the crew and the bridge is spot on and the costumes look like the original but with a more modern and practical twist. We got to see Spock talking to his parent as well and Kirk being told to take more responsibility. There were also a lot of montage scenes involves spaceship battles, gun fights and hand to hand combat. I especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise – reminded me of next generation loads.
But if reading that the movie will be action-packed, faithful to the original but not beholden to it and, most importantly, feature hot Vulcan parental-child conversations, doesn’t excite you, then maybe you’d be more interested in knowing that the movie’s release will also include the first full trailer for Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.
Between Star Trek, Transformers 2 and GI Joe, I think we can pretty much expect Paramount to own next summer’s box office.”
“I especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise – reminded me of Next Generation loads.”
Honestly, I hardly ever remember anyone running through the corridors on TNG. Even when the ship was .0005 seconds away from exploding, they never seemed to do more than walk briskly.
“I especially like a short clip where we see the crew running through the corridors of the Enterprise – reminded me of Next Generation loads.”
Maybe they are referring to the “look” of the hallways. That shot on the official website (on the shipyard camera feeds if you waited long enough) kind of looked similar to TNG corridors.
the look of the bridge should be buttons and switches like the TOS tv series but stylistically leaning a little towards the eventual LCARS look (look of the panels and stations where the switches and buttons are located).

Maybe the corridors themselves, and not the running. Don’t forget, NCC-1701-D has a “No Running” policy.
