I'm not asking to know the frakkin' plot, just a basic summary or who's going to be in it (or not to be in it in the case of Shatner/Nimoy) or if it's a reboot or some little information to tease us to the movie. Think about it, production on the movie will be around 3 months, post will be at the very least 6 months, so that's 9 months total and if the movie comes out in December 2008, that leaves us 3 months before filming. Euh... hello? 3 months before filming and you have no idea who are your actors? Please! Stop bullshitting me! If you don't than you've got a big problem and the movie will never be out on December 2008.

I believe information should be released on a 'regular' basis before a movie comes out to keep public interest. The thing is, this movie was announced such a long time before it's actual release that to release 'regular' information, either they drag it out and it seems like they have no idea what they're doing or either they release too much and then everybody know the whole plot before even entering the projection room. The bad strategy here was to hype a movie that was almost 3 years from release so the hype falls flat instead of hyping it closer to the release and building slowly every month or so so that when the movie comes out, people are psyched and not 'oh, that movie they talked about a couple years ago... must be bad because I didn't hear anything for 2 years'. But that's Paramount's fault. God knows Paramount can have crappy ideas.

I think you should practice what you preach....

There is nothing wrong with fans wanting to know what the hell is going on with STXI... So WHAT if I want to know something more about the film then some 2 line comment written in TV guide.

This "all secret" approach and with all his "Lost" buddies are nothing to brag about. Answer a few questions, it won't kill them. What are they afriad of? They must be scared because the approach (ie idea) is stupid.

Abrams may very well be right. The only way to get a Trekkie to see a bad Star Trek movie is to make them go into it cold... Not even any previews or trailers. The movie poster should stay just the way it is: gold and blue with the insignia.

I agree with what you're saying, even if I don't agree with the way you said it.

First of all, people gotta lighten up. It's only a movie based on a 41-year-old TV show, for chrissakes. It's not going to end world hunger or cause an increase in global warming or destroy/save the planet. So let's get some perspective on this. There are far more important things to worry about on this little ball of rock than a movie.

Second, I personally want to be surprised by this movie, and pleasantly so. The dreck that was Nemesis left a bad taste in my mouth, and I tried so hard to avoid all the spoilers and mis-information put out by Paramount (they're really good at that) so that when I went into the movie it would be a blank slate for me. I would hope that, given J. J. Abrams' stated respect for the subject matter, that he would attempt to do a movie that paid proper homage to the original while setting it on a new and exciting course into the future. And I don't really want to hear a great deal of information (true or otherwise) coming from Paramount, Abrams, Shatner, Nimoy, or anybody else. I'd like to know who's being cast, sure - everyone would be interested in seeing a movie if one of their favorite stars was in it. It may not keep me from seeing it if there's a bunch of unknowns in it, but it would be nice to know. However, detailed plot summaries, pre-production pictures, even minutiae regarding the design of the hand props and whether the bridge of the Enterprise really is rotated 36 degrees to starboard - who cares? Let me soak all that up later, AFTER I've paid my $9 or $10 to see the pic. Let me either love it or hate it, but let me base that on my actual VIEWING of the film, not on stuff posted on the Internet in the months leading up to the premiere.

And third, some of you have way too much time on your hands. Get a hobby, or a girlfriend, or some sort of life.
