Tom Brady made Nemisis! longtime Picard fan here! Tom has the ability to be a leading man! Sick of Rocky, he looks 100. And arnie(i’ll be back in a wheelchair), and should at least impersonate a governor of a broke state! Heard rumors they will be making another Riddick movie, team Vin Diesel with Tom Brady! These Producers should earn their million dollar paychecks! I’m not a trekkie, love Picard(guys got class) my better half is a nut for star trek, I usually watched “Lost in Space”(crappy graphics then too, also on “Batman”) Speed Racer fan!

This is about Tom Hardy being taken on as Chris Pine’s “adversary” in This Means War. It is not Star Trek! At first Sam Worthington was to play the part and I thought ho-hum, but then it was decided that Tom Hardy would do it instead. Yes please!

I don’t mind the film Nemesis – it has some good moments but it was the character of Shinzon who made an impression and he turned out to be played by a Londoner called Tom Hardy (I assume he is no relation to actor Robert Hardy?). I have not seen Inception but mean to.

According to This Means War director McG (yes, I know, everyone seems to think he’s lame, but obviously the studio doesn’t think he’s too bad and they are ones putting up the money), filming starts on 13 September this year in Vancouver. That gives Chris Pine almost five weeks to prepare – (the play he is doing finishes 8/8) – have a great big 3-0 birthday (8/26), buy his new bed and get some good shut-eye.

Anyway, best of luck with the production of This Means War and especially to Chris Pine, our (nu)Kirk!

There was competition for Star Trek XI though if i remember Terminator Salvation came like a week later. Sure it was rubbish but at the time everyone thought it would be good.

Obviously someone did or it wouldn’t be a news headline. I suppose it wouldn’t be news if Zoe had announced she had sex with women.

#63–Hardy played a clone of Picard in Nemesis, so they picked him with the intentions of looking like a younger Picard.

#63–First Contact definitly ranks as one of the best. The Borg were always one of my favorite villains. I have to admit I had mixed feelings about the Queen. There are times I miss when they were just a relentless collective. They seemed more menacing before. But I guess they ran the risk of them becoming too one dimensional if they did not shake things up a bit. They did a good job making the Borg extra creepy in First Contact, though. I’m with you. I enjoyed Star Trek (2009) and am thrilled it breathed new life into Star Trek. But it does not rank the top of my list, somewhere in the middle (The Motion Picture has always been my favorite).

First Contact is a blockbuster and I still prefer it over Star Trek XI

Good news about the Titan books. Perhaps they could make a miniseries based on them.

It would have been nice to see the Titan on screen. According to the Titan novels, it is a new Luna class vessel. It is illustrated in the 3rd Titan book I believe. I think it might be displayed on Memory Alpha or Memory Beta. The Titan books have been good so far, and it has an eclectic crew of many different aliens.

I agree the supporting cast’s role was not substantial. They just had more to do in Nemesis than they did in Generations, First Contact or Insurrection. Nemesis certainly could have been better. My contention is that it does not always deserve the flack it gets. I do wish TNG crew had a blockbuster send off (much like the Undiscovered Country was for the original crew). They had 7 good years on TV and they did deserve better. (at least they had First Contact–which can be considered a blocbuster for 1996).
