ACTION! Cameras Roll on "Star Trek" Movie Rebirth
Production officially starts today on the eleventh movie in the Star
Trek franchise, but the first to be directed by J.J. Abrams and his Bad
Robot production team. This is also the first movie to "re-imagine" a
prior Star Trek, casting new people in roles defined by actors from the
Original Series. In many ways, this Star Trek gives birth to a new era,
one not defined completely by past production teams, sensibilities or
casts (save Leonard Nimoy, of course!). The film is in new hands, ones
trusted by the studio and, judging by the buzz, the fans.
So what do we know about the movie? Behind the scenes, we know that the
budget is the biggest yet for a Star Trek film. That's partly due to the

> Any pre-production shoots aside — for trailers, test footage, etc. — we should also mention that the filming of the new Star Trek movie on Wednesday comes amidst a time of great strife in Hollywood as the Writers Guild of America (WGA) went on strike Monday morning when they could not come to an agreement with the studios on revenue sharing, particularly on DVDs and internet downloads. J.J. Abrams, what they call in the business a "multihyphenate" due to his producer-director-writer credits, is standing tall for his writers union; already, J.J. has been seen hoisting picket signs in solidarity with his union. He is reportedly set to go to work on Wednesday, in keeping with his contractual obligations as a director, but he will not be performing any writing duties.

*Uncut* remastered episodes?
So presumably the additional cuts made to squeeze in more special
effects, required to allow commercials and a fixed time slot on TV,
will not be present on the DVD versions?
That will be nice...

None of the cuts was made to squeeze in more special effects. The
remastered SFX sequences are exactly as long as the original SFX
sequences they replaced. All cuts were made solely to squeeze in more
commercials. But when a local station was forced to make cuts, they
would try to make the cuts in dialogue rather than in spectacle.
The DVD remastered are completely uncut.

Still around. Mostly chat and private postings (via the Eeeevil Trek Cabal
Yahoo group) , some still post here occasionally. It just wasn't fun for
some dealing with some of the Usenet trolls and idiots around here,
especially after Steve's passing.

Absolute zero is cool.
