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

Features

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.

Cautiously Optimistic | Report this post to moderator

Well, I agree with you on this - MI3 was a mess, but still I am cautiously optimistic that Trek XI will be a winner, even will Abrams involved (and I was never a fan of Abrams). Bigger budget, epic time travel storyline, Nimoy back as Spock, Eric Bana as the villain, Captain Pike in command of the NCC 1701 - there is a lot of positive details that can make this a sure hit.

"Is Star Trek still relevant?". Yes, it is. Star Trek XI can prove that, I think.
