New Star Trek Movie will be Filming at Vasquez Rocks Location - Minor Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:45, 24 November 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to Trek Movie Report, an inside source has revealed that the new Star Trek movie crew will be shooting at the famed Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park north of Los Angeles. No info from Trek Movie when the shooting starts, but Paramount scouts have already visited the area, according to the site. Beware of spoilers.

The area has been used in the filming of numerous Star Trek productions, including four episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series, including "Arena", featuring the famous fight between Captain Kirk and the Gorn, plus one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, an episode each of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise, as well as a brief scene in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

It is not known what planet (possibly Vulcan?) it will be standing in for in the new Star Trek movie, but a source tells Trek Movie that the famous ‘Gorn Rock' (photo) is likely to end up in the film in a homage to "Arena", just like this shot of Captain Spock on the top of the 'Gorn Rock' used for a Vulcan scene filmed for Star Trek IV (photo below).

 

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

The original report can be found here.

The spoiler is the fact that the "Gorn Rock" will appear on the movie - not the fact that they are filming at Vasquez Rocks. But I like your headline, thanks, I am just not going to use it this time.
