Kirk Meets Kirk: As a Fanboy This Makes Me Feel Awkward
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 6, 2009 in Star Trek
So I guess the torch has been passed? This video from April 25th shows a meeting between William Shatner and Chris Pine. The clip is from Shatner and he looks very cool about the whole thing, but it still makes me just a tad sad that he won’t have some sort of bit part in this film. My own theory more and more is that Paramount was too cheap. Read more… Star Trek XI as a Bad 80s Teen Film: Trek Yourself
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 6, 2009 in Star Trek
Directed by Dan Meth this clever parody film Trek Yourself hits the spot — in a strange way his take on having the new film be a sort of Revenge of the Nerds is almost as appealing to me as seeing spaceships blow up. Found via a tip from Atom films on Twitter. Star Trek XI: The Question is — Which Review Will You Choose?
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 5, 2009 in Star Trek
The latest Star Trek XI spots are out — not much new footage but plenty of quotes from the likes of Newsweek, Rolling Stone and Film.com? To be honest I’m more likely to trust a review from Ain’t It Cool News rather than a dead tree publication at this point, but then again I am a fanboy… Read more… Star Trek DAC: New Gameplay Footage
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 5, 2009 in Star Trek, Videogames
The upcoming Star Trek DAC game (for the Xbox 360, PlayStation3, PC) is all about battles between the Federation and the Romulans. From my understanding it’s a multiplayer game so there isn’t much of a plot to it, but the video above and the screenshots look pretty impressive: Read more… Star Trek XI: Have It Your Way

I’m a vegetarian, but this exclusive preview of the Star Trek XI toys make me want to visit Burger King to get my hands on these totally rad trinkets. In a sad way they sort of remind me of the Muppet Babies which was my first reaction to seeing trailers of the show — but with any luck there will be spaceships and enough things blowing up to make up for that… New Behind the Scenes Footage on the Set of Star Trek XI
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 1, 2009 in Star Trek
This is some amazing new footage (posted with permission) which shows J.J. Abrams in action directing the new Star Trek XI film. I like the little touch in the bar scene of having the poster of Neil Armstrong on the moon, and there are also a few new details of the Starfleet Academy that I hadn’t seen before. Also worth looking at is this interview with a few of the folks working on the film from about a month ago: Read more… Shatner Watches the Star Trek XI Trailer
Posted by Michael Pinto on Apr 30, 2009 in Star Trek
Watching this video is painful to me — William Shatner is a class act in this case, but there’s something cruel about not having him in this film. It would be one thing if Nimoy didn’t have a cameo because then you could argue that “we just couldn’t make it work with the script”. But sadly my bet is that while this may been about ego, it most likely had more to do with money (which may not be unrelated to ego). Shame on Paramount for letting this happen this way.

I’m getting excited by this film! This new trailer has a bit of new footage, but nothing that adds much more to our understanding of the film. By the way I’m starting to see a great a great deal of advertising all over the place — here’s an ad I spotted in the NYC subway system: Read more… The Star Trek XI Press Conference in Berlin: To Boldly Promote Where No Producer has Gone Before…
Posted by Michael Pinto on Apr 18, 2009 in Star Trek
I haven’t seen this film yet, but I know one thing for certain: J.J. Abrams really knows how to promote a film! I’ve now seen him pushing this film every where from Australia to Wired magazine — and I like the fact that he’s not taking his audience for granted. He seems to understand that this isn’t just about making a film, but rescuing a franchise that could fade away. Of course at the end of the day this film has to be damn good, but the amount of work I see him doing is a good indication. Read more… Star Trek XI Deleted Scene: William Shatner’s Cameo

No this isn’t real, it’s just a fan made video! But wouldn’t it be nice if it was real? |
