QUOTE (zetec @ Feb 27 2007, 11:29 PM)  dude you realize this news is over a year old? i mean, damn, man. and damon has long ago been out of the running for kirk. shatner and nimoy have been confirmed for the movie, but not necessarily for their old roles. No, the rumors are nearly a year old, but the piece that I quoted from IGN Movies was released on Monday and was "confirming rumors that have been making the rounds for some months now." Also, no actors have been confirmed for the movie, including William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Both have, apparently, stated that they would be interested in appearing in the movie if they liked the script. I mean, damn, man. |

FC > Generations, although generations didn't suck. The main villain and his all-black suit was a little... eh.
edit: and either way, you're still posting old news. This post has been edited by zetec: Feb 28 2007, 10:35 AM -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

it was official enough that startrek.com put it on their page a year ago.
and considering paramount runs that page, it's official enough for me. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

the only reason i like generations is the partial appearance of the old cast...
and the destruction of the duras sisters....cause they were hookers oh and data and the emotion chip -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

IMO... Generations was pretty decent, First Contact was really good, Insurrection was basically just a two-part TV episode and Nemesis was pure shit while all of the original movies follow the odd/even rule.

i think it's a good move for them. i for one never really felt any tie to the original series, except the movies.
that's actually a pretty decent cast... before reading that article i wouldn't have thought it, but damn gary sinise would make a hell of a mccoy. i'm sure they'll kinda modernize the environment as well. imho it's a great idea, will probably get booed by some of the hard core original series people, but will be good to boost interest from the younger crowd. uhura = beyonce

QUOTE (Aaron @ Feb 27 2007, 09:47 PM) Reboot and remake are different things. The term "reboot" typically only applies to stories/franchises with established continuity - this continuity does not have to be film-based. A good example of this would be Batman (1989) and Batman Begins (2005). The characters are the same, there are similar elements, but the stories are different and they begin a new continuity. Other examples of reboots are Superman Returns (2006), Casino Royale (2006) and Planet of the Apes (2001). Remakes, however, are usually a re-interpretation of a single, previously established, story. A good example of this would be Ocean's Eleven (2001) and Ocean's Eleven (1960), or King Kong (2005) and King Kong (1933). Semantics Both remakes and 'reboots' are a trend -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I think the absolute last thing that Paramount needs to do is make a bunch of decisions to appease the fanboys segment. The Star Trek films that have been the most successful - Wrath of Khan, Journey Home, Undiscovered Country, First Contact - have been those that embraced a wide audience with broad themes (revenge, redemption, etc.) and character-driven stories. The films that have been least successful - Final Frontier, Nemesis - were nothing more than masturbatory material for fanboys.
