Well, it is just about as 'Hollywood' as Trek has ever been made to feel.

hmmm... thee pieces are coming together...  I just hope the rest of the cast is on par with Matt Damon and not either no-names or famous people that suck.


If Paris Hilton comes on the screen even once I'm selling my PC :(

I'd like to see Kirsten Dunst as Nurse Chapel and perhaps Russell Crowe or Mel Gibson as Bones.

Too bad Hollywierd is so anti-Southern...

Hmmm, Russel Crowe as Bones?  Hmmm.  Now I could actually see Mel Gibson, for some reason.

You know that they'll have Paris in there as Yoeman Rand.  You just know it. ;)

Mel Gibson just has that same simple, down-home quality that DeForrest Kelley displayed. They are both Anyman, you see them on the street going to work every morning and drinking beer in the tavern after 5PM.

Crowe was the only other actor that I could htink of off the top of my head that has that same APERANCE, though he lacks in the aproachability.

By the way there were NO Klingons in any of the movies.  Kor, Kang and Koloth were Klingons those boneheads in the movies are something else.

I prefer the spiny heads.  Especially since the only reason they didn't appear more alien in the series was the lack of makeup budget.

I do agree that Klingon characterization suffered in TNG.  DS9 had some fine moments though...Mar'tok was probably my favorite character on that series.  And the old Klingon on Enterprise screwing Section 31 gave me a nice warm feeling in my stomach.

"And you believed me."

 ;D

Thing is though, if you get right down to it...everything about TNG was watered down, including the Federation.  No surprise that the Klingons followed the pattern.

I think Russel Crowe would be better as a Klingon.

Over on another thread by Frey I posted that I could actually look forward to a major motion picture showing early Federation, Klingon, and Romulan ships.  Imagine the detail for the modders around here.   ;) ;)

They'd also have to break out the sound effect tracks from the 60's!   :D

Heh, get ready to be appauled.  Do you think that they will make the ships look like they did in the 60's, just with higher definition?  Doubtful, get ready to see an extensively updated early era (probably to kick all the old school guys in the butt and make it easier to unify one look throughout the timeline, rather than extensive retro for during one era).

Also on that other thread I mentioned that they could also royally screw this project up.  But being an optimist, I'm hoping for the best.  It's one of my character flaws.

Geeze, the only woman who could be slutty enough to play James Kirk would be someone like Marilyn Chambers.  Although, Ron Jeramy as "Bones" would add a whole new facet to the character.. but they might have to change the name to Skank Trek.

I'm sorry but the green alien gag in Star Trek 4 was so spot-on that it was hilarious.

When Kirk was messing with the green alien chic on the Klingon prison planet, and it later morphed into a guy.  McCoy gave him a look that was priceless.
