Star Trek Movie Ready to Go Into Post-Production, Says Paramount Rep

Features

By GustavoLeao / 15:43, 10 April 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to a report posted today at the redOrbit website, a crew is wrapping up a shoot on private property at Highway 119 and South Enos Lane for the upcoming Star Trek movie prequel. Here are excerpts from the article.

"They need to work quietly and confidentially so they can get their work done, so next year, we can enjoy a great movie and know portions of Kern County were included in that," said Board of Trade Executive Director Rick Davis "That's what the office stands so proudly behind."

The location is a stand-in for Iowa, Captain Kirk's home state, said a Paramount Pictures representative, who provided information under the condition of confidentiality.

The Bakersfield landscape plays a small role in the movie.


"Iowa usually looks pretty green, so that's what we were looking for," the rep said.


Shooting began Monday and the crew will move today to a part of the property away from the road. Filming should wrap up this week, then the movie will go into post-production, she said.

"This is not your father's 'Star Trek,'" the rep said. "It's a whole new cast, a whole new group, completely different from anything people have seen before and hopefully the old fans will like it as well as garnering new ones."


None of the lead actors are out on the property, and there's no real action in this scene, just moving shots, she said.

I hope so, and I have a lot of faith in the movie itself...I just don't have a lot of faith in the audience finding it, as a lot of people just get turned off by Star Trek to begin with. Could really go either way, but it had a better chance this winter I think.

Just frustrates me is all.

We'll see how optimistic you are once the movie opened. The question you should really ask yourself is "Is Star Trek still relevant?". I have no fate in Abram. I don't know why people are letting him write and direct because MI3 was a joke.
