      I'm all for open-mindedness-
      But this is personal--
      It's perfectly valid for someone to hold onto a personal image of a myth.
      For me, Batman NEVER had nipples on his uniform.

      As to multiple actors playing a single character-
      In most cases ,actors are interpreting literary figures--
      James Bond, Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes- and the like
      The character is relatively developed- the actor, if properly cast, just has to interpret the meaning the writer intended.
      Roddenberry was collaborating to huge extent-
      The kirk, spock and mccoy characters were developed in large part by the actors themselves.
      Nimoy invented the neck pinch- right?

      For those who feel optimistic about this new movie.
      I ENVY you.
      I wish i could see other actors and a new treatment of this material ,
      but , i cant. The interpersonal relationship between the 3 main characters
      is historic. re-capturing that is gonna be tough--
      Like putting lightning back into a bottle.
      Very talented people have tried.
      Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes
      Bryan Singer's Superman-
      Those and many other remakes have really dissapointed me.
      as to this movie- if i hear its ok-- i'll rent it
      in the meantime. Thank God for Star Trek Remastered

        Don't get me wrong, I'm nervous that they could possibly screw up my beloved Trek. But I'm not going to judge the movie based on some pre-release stills
        If I was starving and offered a spoonful of ****, I still wouldn't eat it.
        It's amazing that you can tell that this movie is **** based on the above mentioned stills , JOHN

              Hey- if its good- ill see it-
              but im not gonna run out and wait in line for it when its released-
              for me- if there is an argument here- it's not about
              prejudging a movie based on stills-
              a picture does paint a thousand words though-
              its whether its valid to hold your own ideas about
              a myth-
              without being accused of closed mindedness-

              this could be good gameshow-
              show stills from movies
              and people have to guess whether the movie sucked or not-
              based on imdb ratings

              Remember "The Legend of The Lone Ranger" with Clinton Spilsbury-
              I knew that was going to suck based on the stills-
              Throw me a parade!

                I totally understand that thinking...Nimoy & Shatner ARE Kirk & Spock to Me!! But in spite of that fact...I still chose to be optimistic.

                    There are those of us that absolutely LOVED The Legend of the Lone Ranger.

                    It was beautifully faithful to the legend. It had great cinematography, a wonderful supporting cast: Jason Robbards as President Grant. Christopher Lloyd as Butch Cavendish. And it featured some really good performances... yes even from the two unknown leads.

                    A HIGHLY underrated film that was made with a lot of love, reverence, and respect for the character, the legend, and the original source material.

                      Look...I'm not sold on the New Trek Movie either. I have plently of reservations, and I'm biting My Nails that They "get it right"!!

                      I'm EXREMELY happy with casting of Zackery Quinto as Spock! I'm a big Fan of Heroes, and having seen Him act...I totally believe He can pull it off!!

                      On the negative side...Chris Pine is an unknown quality to Me. I haven't seen Him act...and feel He doesn't look enough like Kirk.

                      The redesigned Bridge doesn't bother Me...because it reminds Me of the Motion Picture Bridge....and let's face it...the blinking Bulbs & push down levers of TOS, would look totally WRONG in Todays technological World...after all...Star Trek is supose to be set in the Future!

                        But each generation's vision of the future is totally different.
                        This movie's bridge tells me they're still using a 90's verson of our future.

                        Nobody ever gets the future right anyway ... but at least make an effort to do something different --- even if it's to go "retro" future.

                          But ultimately Mike...I don't believe it will be the Sets that make or break this Movie. Star Trek has never been about the background...but about the Characters, and a well told thoughtful Story.

                            You are all worng. . . Star Trek at its most basic level is about Chicks in Mini Skirts with boots on. Uhuru looks great. . . .this is gonna be a big HIT!!!!!!! I especially liked the Okonor episode in TNG with a young pre-Lois and ClarTerry Hatcher in her Mini!

                              sorry if i hurt your feelings- and anyone else who loves The Legend of The Lone Ranger-
                              to be honest- if i could find it on vhs, id put it right next to my damnation alley and megaforce- lovable sucky- movies for me, as well
                              it just shows to go ya how personal this stuff can get
                              and be completely relative.

                                >I don't believe it will be the Sets that make or break this Movie.

                                I agree, BUT the idea of using the firmly established characters kinda irks me 'cos it looks like right from the get go they're playing it safe. Same with the set designs; they're setting the story in the old continuity but making a lot of it conform to the current standard of "correct" for sci-fi. It MIGHT be a really good movie, but I'm already seeing symptoms of the same old same old.

                                >Star Trek has never been about the background

                                Also true; but changing the background kinda shows a preoccupation with it. There's nothing wrong with the old switches and blinking lights. Who's to say that's NOT what the future's gonna look like? Besides, it's been established that this is what the Star Trek future is gonna look like. Why monkey with it if not to play it safe by conforming to the current standard? Hell; back in the 90's the Jules Verne thing was super popular. Call it "SteamPunk" and it's shiney and new.

                                If the characters are engaging, and the story exciting people wouldn't even CARE about the switches and blinking lights.
