Burtt is working with Mark Stoeckinger who was the sound editor for Abrams' Mission: Impossible: III. According to TrekMovie source, they needed all the help they could get for the sheer number of new sounds that had to be created for this new Star Trek. According to the site Burtt is a huge Trek fan and was thrilled to get a chance to be involved.

Regardless of whether your are Star Wars fans or not - Ben Burtt is probably one of the best, if not the best, sound designer in the business. His ability to create new and unique sounds from items that some have lying around their houses never ceases to amaze me. Plus he has an ear for what sounds right and what doesn't...I really don't think anyone can argue that the sound effects in all six of the Star Wars movies was nothing less than outstanding. Add to that his work on WALL•E and you've got a certified sound genius working on the next Star Trek movie!

I hope for something like those sonic charges in Star Wars Episode II! Remember Obivan's running from Jango Fett through that asteroid belt? Those sonic charges had the most incredible sound FX EVER!!! Explosion - silence - wooosh...Pure genius!

If I hear one screaming Gungan at any point during this film, I will join the Shatnerbaters with their protest signs in the parking lot.

Star Wars sound in a Star Trek film? Great.. now each member of the principle cast will say "I have a bad feeling about this..." at least twice during the film.

1. Well, I guess if it had come out on Dec. 25, the film would have been a bit rushed.

2. With Burtt on board we are guaranteed that the WILHELM SCREAM will be in this TREK film! I'm actually excited about that ... can't wait to find it.
