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.

A lot of people dont get me LOL | Report this post to moderator

Ah please, dont try to understand me, Terry. My wife dont get me either, and she loved MI3. When I told her the same director was helming Star Trek XI, she was very happy. But dont try to get me - the fact that I love flops like Superman IV and Star Trek V and hate sucess like the MI series and Pirates of Caribbean is just confusing, isnt it ? Man, I am just a TrekWeb editor, I am not here to teach people what to like. It is a matter of personal taste, I guess. Go figure.

Gotta agree with Terry here. MI3 was awesome. Had some great action, the music was well done, and was competantly directed, and is considered to be the best of the trilogy. It's quality was a large reason Paramount felt comfortable giving their last big franchise to Abrams.

MI3 didn't do so hot for two reasons, one being the overabundance of Tom Cruise nuttiness that hit while he was promoting it. What Trek fans should worry about is the second reason: The release date was early May. Once again, movies that come out that early rarely if ever do anything in the box office.

However, I'll put this down. If the movie is as good as we all hope, it'll open big, probably around 50-60 million, absolutely HUGE for a Trek film. It'll probably top out with about 130-150 million, really good for Trek, but not exactly making it's budget back. Hopefully Paramount will see it as an investment for the future and keep pushing it out, but it had a higher chance this winter.

I hope I'm wrong.
