Star Trek XI Teaser Now Available!

by Vrian Sinth on Jan.24, 2008, under Movies, Sci Fi News, Star Trek

On Saturday I went and saw the movie Cloverfield, great movie by the way, and had to be sure I was seated and ready to watch the movie trailers. Why? Because this was to be the premier of the new Star Trek XI movie trailer. Sure it ended up only being about a minute long, but is sure got me excited for the new Star Trek movie! After a drought of no new Star Trek media, this was at least a few drinks of refreshing video to keep me going until December 25, 2008.

There are a lot of crappy copies of the trailer floating around on the Internet. Just seeing the Enterprise under construction got the trekky in me going! Here is a decent copy of the teaser. Enjoy!

Zachary Quinto as Spock – Pictures Leaked – Star Trek XI

by Vrian Sinth on Nov.13, 2007, under Movies, Sci Fi News, Star Trek

That’s right. Pictures are all over the net now showing Zachary Quinto as Spock in the new Star Trek XI movie. I have been posting as much information as possible regarding the new movie and I think this some great stuff.

Oh…and by the way…if you didn’t know…Zachary Quinto will be playing Spock. :-) You may be familiar with him as Sylar from Heroes.

He looks pretty good in his new robes. It will be interesting to see how well he can act the part.

There are a lot more images available from JFX Online.

JFX Online says about the photos:

The scene taking place appears to be a Vulcan Council meeting in which Spock seems to be on trial. You can see JJ Abrams in a few shots conferring with Quinto. Check out all the images below.

This is of course only their guess about what’s really happening. You’ll all have to stop by and take a look when you get a chance. Let me know what you think is going on in these scenes. Enjoy!

Captain Pike Cast For Star Trek XI

by Vrian Sinth on Nov.08, 2007, under Movies, Sci Fi News, Star Trek

This will be a short entry, but today a new character was cast for the new Star Trek XI movie. I have already talked about previous cast members in earlier posts, but apparently Captain Christopher Pike, a character from the original Star Trek Pilot and the Menagerie will be in the new Movie. He will be played by Bruce Greenwood.

Although I’ll not dwell on it too much, the writers from the AP that wrote this article weren’t big Star Trek fans. First they say Christopher Pike is the first Star Trek captain when we all know it is Captain Johnathan Archer.  They are probably refering to the first Star Trek captain in chronological order as they appeared on TV.

The second error they make is they say Leonard Nimoy’s  character Spock is the only character to survive the original pilot “The Cage.” Although this is technically true, Majel Barrett, who also starred in The Cage also went on to play Nurse Christine Chapel, Lt. M’Ress (cartoon), Lwaxana Troi, several computer voices and more.

Also of note is that Leonard Nimoy will be making an appearance in the new movie. Unfortunately it looks like William Shatner will not be in the new movie according to CNN.

I haven’t been this excited for a movie in a while. JJ Abrams will be  directing it. Although I am not very familiar with him, he did direct Mission Impossible III which was pretty good.  I hope to see you all there come December 25, 2008.
