Starfleet academy? So, this will be a whole series based on what exactly, a bunch of pimply faced Wesly Crusher and redsquad characters? That wont last even as long as enterprise.

You know... I had a feeling they would be announcing something.. Did not expect a film though  :tonybanks:. Hope it all goes well!

I hear ya.  I'm happy they haven't shelved Trek permanently, but...this...ummm...

1:  Kirk and Spock meeting in the Academy.  Practically throws the developed character relationships from TOS out the window.  Their first deep space mission?  So...we're gonna have to watch them as cadets/ensigns get their Captain coffee?  Or watch the viewscreen?

2:  The sets.  Resolution has improved.  Production design has changed.  They want people to sit through 60's plywood looking sets and low detailed ships for probably at least 90 minutes.

3:  Chronicles of Riddick was supposed to be a trilogy...yeah...I think Star Wars owns the space sci-fi trilogy patent.  It's the only recent one that's worked.  And even it faltered in the prequel trilogy.

::ALCHEMIC QUESTION::
Which one is the "new" Obi-Wan?  The cannonically Older Alec Guiness Obi-Wan, or the younger Prequel Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan?

I hate to be a naysayer, but I have the same problem with this as with Enterprise.  Star Trek is partly about exploring the unknown...I already know how the destinies of Kirk and Spock play out, and their fates.  It's time to wind the clock forward again, I guess that's why I'm looking forward to STO so much.  20 years into the future, the AGT era.  Once again into the unknown.

These movie(s) are probably gonna suck IMHO.

Interesting line up though for the producers and that..

And I for one am just happy to see that trek is still alive in the big world and not just in these forums

I actually though enterprise was great and bought them alll.... granted it messed up loads with the history and everything else... but It was still a great show I thought anyway... especially "through a mirror darkly" an awsome episode..

So I embrace whatever they throw at us with open arms.. long live trek  ;)

2008?  Too long.  I want it late 2006 or early 2007.

Not to disrespect Jim Carrey's talents as an entertainer, but him playing Kirk?  *shudders and shakes his head*  It would go from drama to slapstick comedy in a matter of moments. 

Although, now I wonder who they'll cast as young Spock and Scotty.

Could prove worthwhile.

It all depends on the screenplay and story line. Hollyweird is sorely lacking in great writers.

They will also need to remember the chemistry between the main characters. This is what endeared Trek to so many.

Remember Roddenberry's dream and go with it.
