New Star Trek Movie!

There's a bit of information floating around now regarding the new Star Trek movie, slated for December 25th of this year. At the official movie site, the trailer, currently showing with "Cloverleaf" is now up on the site, and will soon be available for iPhone & iTunes.

Also, a bit of "Viral Marketing" happening at http://www.ncc-1701.com. Currently it shows 3 out of 4 working cameras, showing the construction of the Enterprise.

I'm not one for Star Trek fansites or message boards, but some of the reactions I've read to the viral site suggests that some die hard trekkies are already hating the movie. "They show welding. Why don't we call it, Star Trek: The Welding Frontier" or "3 out of 4 broken cameras. Terrible." Someone seems to think they're real cameras apparently. This I don't understand. They wish death upon something they don't even have a clue about. Why?

I can see a trend on the viral Star Trek site. For the next several months, on ncc-1701.com we'll see the U.S.S. Enterprise slowly being built during the next year or so, and a final completion on or around Christmas. Perhaps during summer, they'll be working on the warp nacelles or deflector dish. Perhaps launching sections into space for more assembly. After all, it's meant to be viral marketing, right? Certainly can't have welders there for the entire year.

I'll post more as I learn it. Hopefully, Paramount accepts my app as "press" and sends me more details to release to the general public!

Here's a movie poster released about a year ago.
