Star Trek XI to be directed by JJ Abrams

and it's going to be about Kirk and Spock at the Starfleet Academy. *boggles*

Wait... Teen-Trek?!

I think the icon says it all.

I predict:

- woefully comedic Shatner and Nimoy impressions.
- cameos from Shatner and Nimoy as their own fathers.
- incomprehensible-to-outsiders in-jokes.
- film makes ridiculously small amount of money for a HUGE outlay.

*grins*

Also:
- Kirk shags everything in sight and does his Kobayashi Maru cheat
- McCoy makes pitiful attempts at shagging everything in sight but always loses to Kirk
- Spock is maybe a bit spottier but still Spock

- Kirk shags everything in sight and does his Kobayashi Maru cheat

Oh yes, much dramatic music for the KM scene, I feel.

I have a huge soft spot for McCoy. I don't know who they are going to get to look anything like DeForest Kelley. I mean, Spock is just a vaguely-Oreintal face with a bad haircut and fake ears, and Kirk could be any ruggedly-handsome type in a girdle and eyeliner, but Bones was very ... SPECIFIC.

To go with sentiments said elsewhere, it will only be watchable if it has more in common with Animal House than Harry Potter. The idea of a seeing a Bluto-like young Kirk would be too tempting for me to to pass up; on the other hand, I'd find a twee "talented young things save the universe from school" dull as all hell - like most latter incarnations of the Trek franchise, in fact.

Why won't they let it die.....WHY?!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Let any tired franchise, it makes too much money.

Not sure about this... this is going to be even worse than ST5: The Final Frontier.

Quite possibly and it's an odd number.
I think there was a reason they didn't show this last weekend on SciFi, eh?

frankly, i am afeared. back before ENT ( shudder ) there was much talk of a Wesley Crusher based Starfleet academy, series, a La Forge captain'd Battleship type effort........

so what we have is yet another blasted prequel, i hate prequels. Nemesis was quite good, I feel there is one more movie in the TNG crew before you make the unpleasant leap to deciding how to move forward with the franchise, and ENT movie would bring me out in murders.

*nods*
There were very few good moments in ENT but on the whole it was rather awful.
I saw the second or third episode in the US and thought WTF? (especially at the theme tune). It picked up a bit later but not much.
The theme tune was the worst. In the US, they show the teaser, then commercials, then the opening credits. I thought the commercials were still running (maybe a cool pickup truck or something) when the music came on...

I'm dithering between future and unexplored bits. Enterprise C would actually be quite good as that wouldn't feature any known characters, (IIRC, except Tasha Yar? - mmmm, Tasha Yar....

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Wrong franchise. ;o)

[queenortart.livejournal.com]

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I meant the "Noooooooo" which is Star Wars. ;o)

Wow, I bet we'll be able to make a drinking game out of it -

-Change in continuity of ST universe timeline - 1 drink
-Blaming that change on someone fucking with the time continuum - Clean your glass and go for another
-Vulcan chick with huge breasts in "pon far" (OK, Trekkies, nail me for spelling) - 1 drink
-Loyal friend makes valiant decision to end their life to save others, thus having an angsty plot arc - 2 drinks
-Someone manages to wreck an entire starship without ANY major onscreen repercussion - Chug. Just Chug. A lot.
-Wesley Crusher look alike shows up - and still doesn't get laid - 2 drinks
-Kirk gets to fight with some alien race that is never mentioned in the ST universe - See the first one, then have a drink of someone else's glass
-Someone breaks the Prime Directive with good intentions - 2 drinks
-Kirk gets a piece of ass and breaks the Prime Directive - 3 drinks
-Kirk gets a piece of ass and DOES NOT break the Prime Directive - 4 drinks
-Bad guy screams "Kirrrrrk!" for more than 10 seconds at a shot - Grab the beer bong. Stand on your head. With your Academy uniform and Vulcan ears on.

I say we try this out - at the theater, with our signature ST Scotty hip flasks and Scottish homemade liquor. That way when we've figured out the plotline about 10 minutes before the flick begins and the smell from all of those unwashed-and-just-out-of-the-closet-after-20-years-and-way-too-small-for-their-Comic Book Guy-frame Offical uniforms starts to bother us...we just won't care anymore.
