We kick off another week in Star Trek with more movie Tidbits, starting off with new comments on TNG cameo rumors, Courage’s theme in ST09, sequels, and runtime from Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof. We also have pictures from the latest Star Trek Dance party, a look at the buzz around the new Kirk, and more.
Lindelof: no TNG cameos + Courage music in movie + 2 sequels?
Remember earlier in the month when Latino Review floated a rumor that there would be TNG cameos in the new Star Trek. TrekMovie quickly dispelled that, but it didn’t stop other sites, like AICN from picking it up. Today in an interview with MTV, Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof makes it clear the the TNG cameos are only in the "Countdown" comic books, noting "we do not want to mislead the public into thinking they’ll see next gen cameos.” Lindelof also discussed the inclusion of the classic Alexander Courage theme in the film, confirming it would be used noting "Where we use it in the film it works, I would say it is used very specifically and at exactly the right time.” Finally Lindelof commented on the future of the Trek movie franchise, with this hope:
Ideas have been thrown around that are very informal at this point. Hopefully there will be a couple more movies if its successful.

Runtime: 126 minutes
Lindelof also talked to MTV about the runtime for Star Trek, saying "The actual content of the movie is at about exactly 2 hours." TrekMovie has already got more clarification on this and the total runtime for the film is 126 minutes (which apparently includes the credits).
NY Star Trek Dance Party
Last week we reported on the new Star Trek Dance Parties trying to bring a little Trek to the club going crowd. These parties are run by ‘Cobra Snake’ who have posted pictures from last Friday’s event at Webster Hall in New York.

PineBuzzWatch
Chris Pine (Kirk) is building a lot of buzz, including his Kid’s Choice Awards appearance last weekend. Here are the latest bits on Pine.
- Chris Pine is getting advice on dealing with fame from Lindsay Lohan [ShowbizSpy]
- In quick Kid’s choice awards ‘orange carpet’ comment, Pine says the ramp up for Star Trek is ‘nerve-wracking’ [HollywoodOutbreak]
- SociliateLife profile on the ‘Men of the KCAs’ thinks Pine’s stubble beard shows he is "adopting the whole Justin Timberlake look" [Celebuzz.com]
- Also at KCA, Pine told Just Jared his favorite prop was the transporter room, they have some pics too [JustJared]
Classic Posters ST09 style
Speaking of posters TrekMovie reader Nicolaus Taylor has taken it upon himself to re-imagine all the TOS movie era posters for the new Star Trek. Hi res versions of his retro-ST09 posters are at ntbone.com (scroll down page). Here are some comparisons.

ST09 Bullet – UK premiere giveaway
Just one bite-sized bullets today:
- UK’s Daily Mail is holding a contest for tickets to the UK premier (which will be attended by Pine, Abrams and others) [Mirror.co.uk]
Yeah Like Chris Pine needs advice from Lindsey Lohan.
Cool posters
Wait, wait. Lindsay Lohan is giving Pine advice. Like what, who to contact for discreet Coke deals? What the best locations to give the paparazzi pantiless upskirt photos are? How to take a promising career and lob off his own foot?
interesting
I’m impressed with those posters…great job…any of which would have been fantastic posters for an ad campaign…
PIne needs advice from lindsey lohan? hmmm…..
Chris is looking particularly good in that vest/jeans combo. Nice.
slow news day?
She could suggest which chicks to date.
The poster link doesn’t seem to lead me to the posters.
Pine really is a hot guy! Im glad the buzz is building for him!
I bet the original theme is used when Kirk takes command of the Enteprise, or during Pike’s speech to Kirk.
So, where can we get a copy of that little blue poster with the Enterprise on it from that’s in some of those Dance Party photos?
Oooh. Where is Webster Hall? I want to be handed a T-shirt too.

I really hope he doesn’t take any of Lohan’s advice to heart. Now as Captain Kirk he could totally hook up with her then abandon her just like every other alien chick he hooked up with. And yes, Lohan is an alien.
For the record Chris and Lindsay did a film together.
A flick titled Just My Luck.

thx bud
currently cleaning the monitor after a tea out of the nose momment.
forgot to say,
the posters look great, unforunately there must a shed-load of traffic hitting the link as I cant access, i’ll try laters
Hey I’m glad someone is reaching out to the kids on this one. Lord knows they could use a good healthy dose of Trek.
But good Lord, man. If that’s how you’re going to treat a perfectly good kit of the new ship, when there are tons of folks (just check the hobby boards) who’d gladly give body parts for one. That’s just a crime.
the re-imagined posters are looking fantastic…if only I could see them blown up =(
In the Vein of the Posters. For a Sequel a re imaging of “Space Seed”? So do they get a Bollywood Sikh actor to play Khan or do they get somebody like Antonio Banderas.

above link is a shot of Lohan and Pine from ‘Just My Luck’, I think he got to kiss her at a party (while he was dressed as Zorro) in the film.
Somebody should tell that young, hum, lady to put some clothes on.
Wow- any one of those posters is better than the one they picked and envokes the older movies. I like them, they’re exciting.
that guy’s dvd and blu ray covers look pretty cool too

I hear she gives good…um Advice.
Chris,
Take Lindsay’s advice, and then DO THE OPPOSITE!
Ok. The Big e in the Dance club poster is not Canon. I maen where were the Shields. The Shields would have never let those Darts in. Loved those posters. Very Kool.

// So do they get a Bollywood Sikh actor to play Khan or do they get somebody like Antonio Banderas.//
Well, my guess would be Indian actor Naveen Andrews, who plays Sayid Jarrah in Lost. You know, the whole J.J. Abrams connection, and the fact that he’s actually the right ethnicity. ;)
Ugh. I’d love to have a model of the new Enterprise, and these people who get one just mess them up. Lame.

yep it’s a pity it took until “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” to get Nemo right.
Lohan for Dr Janice Lester….
Paris Hilton for Ruth
Christina for Carol Marcus…
Britany for ilia…
Katie Holmes for Savvik
Pamela Anderson for Gillian
Sarah Jessica Parker for Valerius
#33 Brittany for Ilia
Almost missed the haircut reference – nice!
My God, Chris Pine is yummy.
I like the Undiscovered Country redux poster, myself.
Those kids didn’t even know why they were at the damn party.
“Lindelof also discussed the inclusion of the classic Alexander Courage theme in the film, confirming it would be used noting “Where we use it in the film it works, I would say it is used very specifically and at exactly the right time.”
I like that theme, it’s exciting! :) I have the feeling it will be a goose-bumpy, chill up the spine, sportin’ wood kinda moment.
I happen to like the reimagining of the STVI poster.
Lindelof also discussed the inclusion of the classic Alexander Courage theme in the film, confirming it would be used noting “Where we use it in the film it works, I would say it is used very specifically and at exactly the right time.”
I was hoping that it’d kick in while Spock is time-traveling….that’d be way rad! :D
I think I actually like those mockups more than the real thing now…
Just bought tickets to the World Premier on Tuesday 7th April at Sydney Opera House.I get to see the film A WHOLE MONTH before its released………..OOH YEAH!!!
Lohan was probably begging Pine for a job…..he should tell her to get one…..at Burger King!
re:”Lindelof also discussed the inclusion of the classic Alexander Courage theme in the film, confirming it would be used noting “Where we use it in the film it works, I would say it is used very specifically and at exactly the right time.””
Likely translation: It will hardly be noticeable.

I am so jealous that I couldn’t put the full range of my jealousy into words. Please, come back and give hints, but don’t spoil us!
Stanky, Why so neg all the time?? Don’t like it , don’t go!

WTF? How can you not notice it? So I guess that not only do you lack confidence in J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, Alex K., Damon L., Bryan B., and company, but you also lack confidence in Michael Giacchino? You never cease to amaze me.
@ 15 The Man from Saskatoon –
Thanks for the link :)

The Undiscovered Country one was the best…
