'Star Trek' to Start Filming Today

Filming on the new Star Trek film is expected to begin today.
According to an article on the Trek Movie Report, shooting will begin on location somewhere in Southern California, with the first scenes on the Paramount lot scheduled for next week. These scenes won't yet feature the Enterprise, as the sets for the iconic Starfleet ship are still being constructed -- the parts of the film taking place onboard the ship will be filmed sometime early next year.
Today marks the end of a period of two and a half years during which no new official Star Trek was being produced. Star Trek: Enterprise shut down production in mid-2005 after a run of four seasons, and shortly afterwards the Enterprise sets were taken down on Stages 8 and 9 at Paramount Pictures. Prior to that, the stages had been in use by the Trek franchise almost continuously for a period of 27 years, beginning with the failed Star Trek: Phase II series, running through several feature films, and finally being used by The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise. Early word indicates these same stages will now again be used for the new Trek film.
When Enterprise ended in 2005, executive producer Rick Berman said he expected a new Trek film to appear in cinemas about two or three years later (story), a statement for which he was then widely ridiculed. Now, Berman's prediction seems to be coming true, although Trek won't be returning in the way he imagined it.
Recently, Ain't It Cool News published an article looking at the movie Berman proposed: a Trek prequel called Star Trek: The Beginning, written by Erik Jendresen. The film would have featured Jeffrey Combs' Andorian Commander Shran from Enterprise as the only familiar character, with no place in the story for Kirk, Spock, or any of the other familiar Original Series characters that will now be seen with new faces in the upcoming Trek film. Although Star Trek: The Beginning won't get made, the AICN report is still a fascinating insight into what could have been.
Fans will have to wait a bit longer to see how director J.J. Abrams will be bringing back Trek to the screen. Before the film's actual release, Paramount will be showing teasers for the film attached to other major movies. Latino Review recently reported Paramount is already working on a first teaser trailer that will show the Enterprise being built. It's not yet known when the teaser will be released. The new Trek film itself is still scheduled for Christmas 2008.

I'll probably wait for the DVD, I've kind of had my fill. The tv series are still in reruns, easy to get a fix almost any time.
My favourite films were the story where Kirk is killed, the whale story, and the one where the Vulcans welcome humans into the space-faring community (Cochrane's development of the warp drive).
Now if the Borg or the Q show up...

I liked Star Trek First Contact. My favorite part is where the Defiant is taking a beating and here comes the Enterprise.

Jean-Luc will be a hard act to follow, but I just might wait around until it comes out.

Your just whistling Dixie! It's more likely to be populated with HEADS of State and Voodoo Energy Fields and the lab crews from 'CSI'.

Americans and feminists and survivors oh my

Americans and feminists and survivors oh my

Too bad we Americans haven't had the courtesy to go extinct yet.

Hopefully when space is opened up for travel we snot nosed Americans will be long gone so the rest of the world can travel the vastness of space without dealing with some asshole Americans.

Maybe we could get a law passed to leave all Americans and feminists here on earth like zoo exhibits. You know like with a sign in front of our cages labeled "The North American Asshole" and the "Screeching feminist harpy" It is so nice to be lumped in with feminists because of where my mother shit me out.

No disrespect to Americans, Chev. But they are only 5% of the Earth's population (compared to 26% Chinese and 20% Indian, for instance) and by the time we do get into Space the world will be a very different place.

Ah, the bigoted argument of race. And this is why maybe only Americans understand the real America!

This is no time to propel the sour seeds of race and nationalism!

I am a fan of all things that overstep such traps as Karl's wonderful ANTI-MISANDRY website does.

This is the real world of Star Trek and the future.

Ah, the bigoted argument of race.

Don't be friggin' silly, nor so insolent.

I am simply talking NUMBERS.

I am an Englishman. The last of them. Everyone else are furriners. Americans, Chinese, Indians, friggin' Eskimos. They are all the same to me.

I am the least bigoted person I know.

I care not a jot for someone else's skin colour, nor origins, nor the colour of someone's hair, nor nationality, nor where they live.

I don't even care that they might be English.

I even talk to you, don't I?

I care for the Character of a person.

I care for their capability for maturity.

I care for their moral standing.

I care for their Integrity and Authenticity.

Their Truthfulness.

Race? Hah!

To say that I would give "the bigoted argument of race" is sheer ignorance.

Well Percy while I ove ya like a brother. Your post was anti American as simple as that.

Now I don't believe for an instant that you intended it as such but it simply is what it is.

I grow so tired of people constantly bashing Americans,Mormons,fathers,men,male children,religious folk etc etc.

And I really don't like being lumped in with feminists.

I simply fail to see the point being made by saying you hope Americans do not populate space if you do not care a wit for nationality.

Wouldn't it strike you insulting if I said I hope there are no Englishmen or child rapists at the mall today?
