New Trek trailer online

I agree with your friend ctc. My reason for the fishy question is due to timing. I can see them starting this blitz in February, or March even...but now? The potential for whatever steam they can generate now dissapating by May is pretty high. They are running a risk of people getting Trekked out before the movie comes out......I cant see them building on this really from where they are now.
Underdog may be correct, and they are trying to get any arguments or backlash against this movie out of the way now.

All this talk about messing with Trek continuity is really funny when you consider TOS couldn't keep it's own continuity straight, esp. in the first season. Who did they work for? United Planets? Space Patrol? Earth Space Agency?
How many nephews did Kirk have?
Which ships did he serve on?
Can Vulcans lie or not?
What is the Enterprise's maximum warp?

Held to the strict standards of us nerds, it all starts to fall apart. Licensed and unlicensed books have been trying to string these things together in coherent fashion for 40 years, but the gaffs are there on the screen forever...until the digitally edit them out.

I can see an exec thinking more hype=better.

OR they're trolling the fans as a sort of huge test audience; and they'll edit out the stuff that meets with an unfavourable response before the movie comes out....

Yeah. Nothing's perfect; and it's been some of the slips that've given writers that came after material to work with. It's all part of the story.... eventually. I'm a big fan of the "warts and all" way of thinking, which is why I get bugged so much when folks redo what's already happened.

Close - how about SNOT?

lol. Funny!

I agree with Don on this simply because I mentioned the movie trailer to a coworker today and she is a big Sci-Fi fan, but doesn't post on boards and such, and she had no idea that this movie was in the making let alone coming out in May. I showed her the trailer and she really got psyched over it. So I guess they must be doing something right by putting it out there this early.

This trailer is about the same, except it slips in Leonard Nimoy as Spock at the end.

>Interesting...

....and kinda sad that so much attention is being put on an ad! Really; how many sites are out there dedicated to THIS AD?!?!

I'm wondering if there's gonna be no way for the film to live up to all the expectation; good or bad.
