TrekMovie has previously reported that Paramount originally planned on putting out the first full trailer for Star Trek this summer (most likely with one of the May releases of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or Iron Man). The change of the Trek release date to next May put that plan into question, but a new report states there still will be a trailer with Indy 4.
UPDATE: TrekMovie has been told no trailer with Indy.
According to the report at ScreenRant, they have a source who is “100%” certain there will be a Star Trek trailer with Indy 4 which will be a “continuation of the teaser trailer” showing construction of the Enterprise. TrekMovie.com has not been able to confirm this report, but is is possible. We have got conflicting accounts of what is going on with trailer plans and it appears that it has been the subject of much discussion.
UPDATE: No Teaser With Indy 4
TrekMovie.com has been told by a trusted source that “things are still up in the air” regarding the next Trek trailer. However there will definitely not be one with Indy 4 or with Iron Man. The source specifically said there wouldn’t even be another version of the teaser (which was shown with Cloverfield).
Summer was Plan A, but release date changed that
In his recent interview with Trekmovie, producer Damon Lindelof stated:
As far as for the first trailer trailer, I heard we were still on for the summer to have a full trailer for the movie. But I would not be surprised if they decide to hold that back.
TrekMovie has been told by sources that there are more than one ‘sizzle reels’ that have been made and that any of them could evolve into a trailer, but that a final decision has not been made yet. If there were something with Indy 4 it is likely to just be another teaser like the one in January and not the real ‘trailer’ showing live action scenes from the film. If Paramount knew the film was going to be for May 2009, they would likely have held the teaser that showed with Cloverfield until this May. So it would make sense for them to do another ‘teaser’ with Indy to get the summer movie crowd excited, and wait until later for the first full trailer. [UPDATE: But as noted above it appears there will be no Trek with with Indy]
First??
New trailer NOW!! Dammit!
What would be nice in the case that this turns out to be false, is that instead of simply scratching the use of the “sizzle reels”, you include them all in the special features of the DVD release of the movie.
Exciting!
FIRST! Another reason to see Indy 4
Has anyone confirmed what James Crawley and crew were talking about when they said they would have a new and exclusive trailer in front of TSAMD: 1969……….TOMORROW NIGHT? Could this be the same “new” trailer?
I wondered if Anthony was going to pick this up. Trekweb had it by noon.
Hate to rain on the parade here but another teaser? Maybe this time Paramount will decide to move it back to Christmas 2009.
IT BETTER BE GOOD!
#6: “I wondered if Anthony was going to pick this up. Trekweb had it by noon.”
Pretty remarkable, since TrekWeb and TrekBBS are generally days behind the rest of the Internet – except in the case of reporting BS rumors as plausible, in which case TrekWeb will get them up quickly, and TrekBBS…will still report them as plausible a day or so after they’ve been debunked.
Oh they owes us big on this one, that trailer has to tide us over for a bit so yes it better be really good.
With the change in the release date, I would expect to see another teaser atached to the Indy movie…and even the Iron Man movie. With over a year to wait for the premiere and all the secrecy involved in this project, I think it’s a pretty safe bet we will not be privy to a full trailer for several months.
#6 – I like the fact that these stories are posted here AFTER some of the other sites post them. Anthony obviously does his research before posting articles here. Lookl how many of these “articles” from the other sites he has debunked to date. I love the fact that he checks the facts as much as possible before posting. Anthony…your site is the king of all Trek related sites. Keep up the great work.
I could see a “part 2” teaser-trailer. Once which continues the construction of the Enterprise. Maybe showing its parts launch into orbit for final assembly.
#10: ” Look how many of these “articles” from the other sites he has debunked to date. ”
Yep. Generally when Anthony’s behind the other sites it turns out to be because he’s checking out the story with people who actually know something of the facts.
Not customary Internet movie site behavior, but there you are.
Wow, I was planning to make a second teaser fan trailer with this very concept. Humm.
Someday we will have seen this movie so many times and cherish it so greatly that we will quote memorized dialogue to each other on the interwebs. But right now, it feels like a time in my youth when we would spend 2 or 3 hours late at night watching a scrambled Skinemax™ feed just in the hopes of getting a glimpse of “a good part”.
In retrospect, it was a time of innocence.
BEST!!
=h=
Don’t look for a full trailer before Christmas. If the film needs another push Paramount will be happy releasing different easers until the Christmas film season and then you’ll get the main trailer. Its unlikely it will appear anytime before then.
PLEASE – not another trailer like the first one. Show some actors, show the bridge, show Pine as Kirk uttering one line. Give us something to really get excited and talk about. A thirty second trailer that includes the Enterprise firing a torpedo and blowing some shite up would make the theatres go nuts!
Give us a real trailer or give us death! (or maybe some good pics of the big E)
I am glad Anthony checks his sources before reporting gossip. keep up the good work!
the trailer will show the finish of the construction and the entreprise flying away from earth and then kirk (will continue nimoy from the first trailer) “these are the voyages of the starship ENTREPRISE”!
#17
Do you have an address to send flowers? ‘Cause we won’t be seeing a “real trailer”…LOL
All I care is that this trailer show a full shot of the Enterprise. I don’t care if they show sets or costumes or whatever. Just show us the old (new) girl.
Yay!! After seeing those leaked spy pics of the set (which seemed to show that they stuck more to canon than we were previously led to believe), I’m really feeling optimistic about this movie once more. Can’t wait for the trailer!!
Now I’ll know to come nice and early to Indy 4 so as not to miss the preview!!
I wouldn’t mind seeing either a full trailer or a teaser. I will take any star Trek I can get…ok I want a f***ing full trailer.
#12 Dennis Bailey – “Yep. Generally when Anthony’s behind the other sites it turns out to be because he’s checking out the story with people who actually know something of the facts. Not customary Internet movie site behavior, but there you are.”
Agreed. Until any news is confirmed here at trekmovie.com I do not even consider it as worthy of attention. In short, “In Anthony We Trust”.
With all the extra time they now have, putting out another interim teaser makes a lot of sense.
Keeps us keen, but also be sure this won’t be the full blown thing just yet. JJ et al really do now how to slowly drip feed……
I don’t think I’ve come across the phrase ‘sizzle reel’ before though. One lives and learns….
And as Dennis and Greg point out, it’s nice to come to a site that is so free of rampant speculation and sensationalist frothy fanboyism.
I prefer my frothy fanboyism to be well grounded and informed. Not said it for a while, but continued thanks Anthony.
Relax fellas. You only get the first time once.
I’m pretty sure that’s what I was talking about before. But the flip side of that is let’s think about this. Think about all the people who want to see this movie really really badly like we do, who, due to statistical probabilities and or fate, for some reason would happen to be alive on Christmas 2008 but for whatever reason will die before May 2009.
It could be cancer, a car wreck, a psycho girlfriend with a knife that catches you cheating – whatever the means. They woulda had the movie at Christmas when things were fine. Then come Feb 18, 2009 – wrong place, right time – blammo, brains blown out during a liquor store robbery.
Thats the sort of opportunity cost that Paramount so callously refuses to acknowledge simply so that they can line their pockets with our blood money. Its difficult to estimate just how many people will not get to see this movie “just because” the suits wanted more money. I find this sort of business ethic highly offensive.
I don’t know about you, but I plan on hangin’ on until atleast May 2009 just for the protest of it all. Old h69 is going to make a statement. You can steal my time away from me. But you cannot take this movie from my life experience.
Who’s with me?

#25 – hitch1969
You bring the tent and I’ll bring the Coleman stove…meet you out front of the Cineplex about 7pm, April 20th. I may not like my life, but I’m with you…I’m sticking it out to see this movie.
Anthony’s continued responsible method of reporting Trek news MUST END NOW! We demand that he start posting every single rumor and irresponsible overheard whisper RIGHT NOW!
j/k!!
This “researched and verified information” thing is kinda novel. I like it!
“Times the fire in which we burn…” I guess we all better be careful over the next 406 days 6 hrs 23 min 05 sec

sorry to burst your bubble but someone dies at least every 3 seconds on average. Every 23 minutes a couple thousand babies are born. So no matter how fast they go, or even if they put the release back to Christmas, some trekkies won’t see it anyway.
That’s funny… msnbc had a huge story last night, “Scoop: Tom Cruise joining ‘Star Trek’ cast”. Yeah, that old chestnut again. And it gets better – twice in the article – DR. SPOCK. yep.
It’s since been corrected in the article. But remains in the photocap: “Tom Cruise reportedly is a big fan of the “Star Trek” television series and of Dr. Spock in particular.”
Over 24 hours – still there. Go look. They ain’t in a hurry to fact check.
BEST!!

You mean there is no Dr. Spock in Star Track? Wow! lol
“sorry to burst your bubble but someone dies at least every 3 seconds on average. Every 23 minutes a couple thousand babies are born. So no matter how fast they go, or even if they put the release back to Christmas, some trekkies won’t see it anyway.”
Well sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but can you prove those numbers? I’ve been looking around all day and haven’t seen anyone die or be born.
The fact of the matter is when you are talking globally OF COURSE you get those kind of numbers from the 3rd world countries and whatnot. Those folks are worried about the small things like eating, and Malaria, and AIDS, and tigers and stuff, dude. Their bloated little tummies and the flies on their faces. Come on.
I think that this movie is the last thing on their minds. So your statistics mean nothing. I, of course, remain correct in my original assumption. Trek fans are not being born and dying at that rate, man. Get real.
Pushing the movie back hours or days means nothing. Moving it out 6 months though… some people – that are dying to see it – will die by other means. And like Bon Jovi told us, “Dying ain’t no way to make a living”.
BEST!!
=h=
big deal — no one’s gonna see Indy anyway… :)
I’m up for Indy, but I’m still in a conflict over Star Trek.
Decloaking . . .
Bob !!!, errrr Mr. Orci, it’s about time for your “Wrap” interview with TrekMovie.com? Yes? No? Maybe?
And as always thanks for being here!
Recloaking.
Boborci is right. I doubt anyone remembers those old acrcheology movies with that pirate guy from Star Wars. And who is directing this thing? Isn’t it that guy who did that shark horror movie back in the 70’s? Who’s gonna pay to see that??
Commodore Lurker, I like your Decloaking . . . Recloaking. schtick.
I think.
Recloaking!!
=h=
#33 Bob – if a new teaser is shipping with Indy IV, have someone update the damn viral site. You know, maybe a welder lighting off a fart. ANYTHING.
Hey Orci, how’s it hangin’? Don’t worry, I got over my disappointment of not being randomly cast in the new film. Besides, I just know you’re saving me a real juicy part in the next one. Right? Bob?
hitch, that bit about a person dying every 3 seconds reminded me of a joke my guitar player sent me:
“Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the
entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for
total quiet.
Then, in silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few
seconds.
Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone,
“Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the
quiet . . .
“Well, foockin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!”
I love that one.
Decloaking . . .
THX, no way, did that really happen? Or just another in the great line of THX memorabelia?
Recloaking.
If we get a trailer, can we start seeing some concept art from the production?
Commodore, I can’t be sure, but I choose to file this as “TRUE” so as to satisfy my sense of satisfaction.
When I read it, I laughed out loud in the gallery. Drew some odd looks for sure.
I can’t wait for Indy 4!!!! apparently it has something to do with aliens. Maybe Romulans!!
oh yeah, I just remembered…it was Odo, Rom, Nog, and Quark that crashed in Roswell wasn’t it? (see DS9 episode: Little Green Men) Maybe Indy finds a piece of their shuttle!
…please don’t take me seriously
Loosing interest to be honest with you.
Waiting to see something, anything, from this film, is getting old.
Please, please, please, please, please!
I have to agree with #44, bono luthor. It is getting boring, having to wait with absolutely nothing new coming our way, not even a picture of the new E. I’m starting to think that when the movie actually comes out, it it going to be anti-climactic….but I’m hoping that I’m wrong, of course. At least we have season 4 of BSG coming up pretty soon, I’m very much looking forward to that.
Lot of folks around here seem to be developing ADD. Don’t take this the wrong way, but maybe you should go do something else for awhile. To take your mind off the wait for Trek. Then come back in a month or two and maybe it will seem fresh again.
And I honestly don’t intend for that to sound mean. I just thought that if I can help keep your interest in Star Trek fresh, we would all benefit.
33. Bob Orci
Mr. Orci, Are you ready to comment on whether or not that “leaked’ script fragment was your work?
Hey Boborci, I for one will see Indy 4. If you guys put a real trailer in, I may even see it a second time during the cheap night.
44. Bono.
You must have missed the voluminous spy pics. : )
