Star Trek 12 Gets Release Date
I'm not sure if its Star Trek 12 or Star Trek 2, but the release date is June 29, 2012.
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/01/11...-nothing-else/ UPDATE: Paramount has confirmed to MTV that the projected release date for the "Star Trek" sequel is indeed June 29, 2012. This counts as news, but there's not much to it. We all know there's a "Star Trek" sequel coming. Hell, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, writers/producers of the May reboot, were talking about sequel possibilities as far back as the week after the first movie came out. Now we have a date to pin our hopes to: June 29, 2012. Nothing else is known or announced, so don't ask. Maybe director J.J. Abrams will return to helm the sequel, maybe he won't. Maybe Khan will be the villain, maybe not. For all we know, the plan is to give us an epic "Star Trek Meets Star Wars" crossover. Could happen, right? The news comes from a variety of sources, including Ain't It Cool News and Box Office Mojo, but there's no Paramount-issued press release that I can find. The information ran through some trustworthy sources, but we've yet to receive comment from the studio directly. Regardless, there really hasn't ever been any doubt that we'd be seeing more "Star Trek." Abrams' take on the series made it friendly to an entirely new, much wider audience than its ever known before. Were you anything less than certain that a "Star Trek" sequel was coming eventually? Where would you like the story to go from where it is now? Any specific hopes for the sequel? |

I watched the Gary Mitchell TOS episode last night - hadn't seen it in years. God the uniforms were awful.

When it was being shown, they had the equivalent of half a movie done every week.

IM guessing this 9 minute preview will reveal who it is.

Yep. In some ways it was rougher than the Jeffrey Hunter pilot, and they made wholesale changes afterward. Uniforms were awful, weapons looked like they were straight out of a 50's sci-fi movie, there was a different doctor, no Uhura, Sulu was a department head instead of the helmsman, there were clearly typewritten reports on the view screens, they had a regular pillow and blanket on Mitchell's bed in sick bay, main view screen was tiny. Kudos to whoever changed all that crap once the show got picked up.

I'm sure you're right.
Honestly, I loved what these guys did with the first one. I'm all in. I don't really care where they take it because I trust them. I don't care if it's Khan or Mitchell or someone completely new. Looks like it's going to be a great ride no matter what. |

Heh, its been fun to go back and rewatch some of those old episodes on Netflix in HD. You can clearly make out mistakes such as makeup lines and cheesy plastic made props. Stuff we never picked up on as kids growing up watching them on old fuzzy UHF stations. Posted via Mobile Device |

There is a segment of traditional trekkies who hate that J.J. removed the focus on plot development through extended conversations and opted for more of emphasis on action driven scenes.
Still, imo, it was an engaging story and had a number of moving elements throughout its entirety. |

Uhh, Scotty going through the Enterprise's wash cycle and bringing his little teddy bear alien aboard the enterprise, Kirk running through the ship waving his Mickey Mouse hands around...Don't ever make me watch Spock and Uhura making out again...
And Kirk being named Captain of the Enterprise at the end of it all?...Kinda like the USN naming some 19 year old the captain of their largest nuclear aircraft carrier... Last edited by mikey23545; 12-07-2012 at 11:56 PM.. |

However, I understand that they had to reboot the whole thing and not be constrained in the future by traditional ST canon. I'm pretty much an end-justifies-the-means guy anyway, so I get it. But the means had plot holes you could fly a starship through. |

Well we could argue back and forth all day about how flawed or stupid some of the sequences might have been.
But I still don't understand the Star Wars comparison, nor how it was dumbed down. Whether it was flawed or not, the film was fairly complex and emotionally mature. |
