I don't think Mr. Shatner was invited to be in this one.

[ByuSmurf]

WTF? No Patrick Stewart or Kate Mulgrew or any other ST star other than Leonard Nimoy? I've been looking forward to seeing a new ST movie, but if it doesn't have any of the established characters from any of the ST TV series how do they expect to draw a Trekker fan? I'm seriously disappointed!!

[stevethefan]

Are their going to be ANY people from any previous ST shows/movies? I could kind of see how they would want to try and start from scratch to do something new.

[sayyed]

cool, i'm a huge fan of JJ.Abrams.... he's a genius!

[paradox]

I want Patrick Stewart !!! Awesome news i love ST!!!

[Céline's Blues]

Can it be more crap? No, I don't think so. Those ST movies went down the drain like dripping crap!

Leonard Nimoy (Spock) is.... And if he's in it (thus loving the script), then well....

 

Well hold your breath.... from the looks of it, this movie (which is a bit of a re-imaging) is shaping up to be huge. It's already one of the most antipicated blockbusters for this year. J.J. Abrams is a genius..

Actually, it is what the world needs at the moment.... a good/nice/peaceful future to look [forward] to.

The world today is in such mess, in such bad shape. And the original message from Star Trek has always been (from the very beginning) to on one side relate as much as possible to the current world, and on the other to show a peaceful, united future. That is what the world needs at the moment..

No it was Star Trek. At least the first season. They were always being held hostage by weird alien ladies with tight cloths.

'Star Trek' sequel on track

Paramount hires trio to pen screenplay

 

By TATIANA SIEGEL

 

As Paramount Pictures readies the May 8 release of its "Star Trek" franchise relaunch, the studio is moving forward with a sequel, and has hired Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof to pen the screenplay.

J.J. Abrams, who directed and produced the latest chapter, is onboard to produce the follow-up alongside his Bad Robot partner Bryan Burk. No decision has been made yet on whether Abrams will return behind the camera for the sequel.

 

Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof also are receiving producing credit on the sequel.

 

Story is still in the embryonic stage, but the trio are aiming to deliver their script to the Melrose studio by Christmas for what would likely be a summer 2011 release.

 

"There's obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet," said Lindelof, co-creator with Abrams of ABC's "Lost" who produced the upcoming "Trek" but did not contribute to Orci and Kurtzman's screenplay. "But we're so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed."

 

As for potential storylines, Kurtzman stressed that the writing team will wait to take a cue from fan reaction about which direction to go.

 

"Obviously we discussed ideas, but we are waiting to see how audiences respond next month," he said. "With a franchise rebirth, the first movie has to be about origin. But with a second, you have the opportunity to explore incredibly exciting things. We'll be ambitious about what we'll do."

 

Though Orci and Kurtzman have worked together as a writing team for more than 12 years, the duo has worked with Lindelof on only one screenplay: DreamWorks' "Cowboys and Aliens," which they are currently writing together.

 

Paramount has high hopes for the "Star Trek" relaunch, and is pulling out all the stops on the marketing front. Studio began a full-scale campaign six months before the film's May bow.

 

Huge vote of confidence from Paramount!

[CSCfan]

Watch 6 clips of the movie here!

 

Well, the movie's almost out and it almost every press review is very, very positive....

JJ Abrams and the case are finising a promo world tour in the US at the moment and the movie's out next week!

 

They really did make a film for everyone.

Online pre-sales have even topped those of last year's Iron Man and Wolverine!

[Edwin]

Who has seen this? I'm going to go sometime this week. I'm debating if its worth seeing it an IMAX theatre or not.

[CSCfan]

It definately is! I saw it in IMAX on May 6th (was also my first IMAX experience) and WOW!

The screen is huuuuge, so you have a lot to follow...lol Probably going again soon...

 

But the movie is absolutely fantastic! It's getting rave reviews all over, debuted at #1 in the US and various parts of the world (including Holland) and already topped all previous Trek movies. And every critic agrees it's a movie for everyone (not just fans)..

 

Go see it!

[Edwin]

Yeah I was planning to see it. But I had heard differently about seeing it in IMAX. Like there weren't any scenes specifically shot for IMAX like they did with Batman.

'Star Trek' beams up $76.5 million

Paramount's franchise reboot tops box office

 

By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK

 

Paramount’s “Star Trek” has successfully beamed up, debuting to $76.5 million at the domestic box office, including $4 million in Thursday night runs.

Overseas -- where the sci-fi franchise has never played well --”Star Trek” likewise posted solid numbers, grossing $35.5 million from 5,000 locations in 54 markets for a worldwide bow of $106 million.

 

Par insiders said the film’s No. 1 standing in the U.S. and abroad reinforces the decision to go ahead with the sequel (Daily Variety, March 30).

 

Weekend’s other new wide release was Summit Entertainment’s urban comedy “Next Day Air,” which struggled to find an aud. Pic grossed $4 million from 1,138 runs to place No. 6.

 

“Star Trek,” directed by J.J. Abrams, grabbed the second-best domestic opening of the year after 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which bowed to $85 million last weekend.

 

Faced with direct competition from “Star Trek,” “Wolverine” declined a steep 68% in its second sesh to an estimated $27 million to place No. 2 for the frame. Domestic cume is $129.6 million.

 

Teen girls and women were clearly seeking alternatives to the two actioners. In its second weekend, Warner Bros. and New Line’s romantic comedy “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” dipped a skimpy 32% to an estimated $10.5 million from 3,175, placing No. 3 for the weekend; cume is $30.2 million. Sony Pictures’ “Obsessed” and Warner’s “17 Again” also held well, coming in Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.

 

Overseas, “Star Trek” and “Wolverine” were in a closer race, with “Star Trek” coming in lower than “Wolverine’s” $73.1 million foreign debut the previous weekend. In its second sesh overseas, “Wolverine” fell 59% to $29.7 million from 9,000 screens in 102 markets. Foreign cume is $123.7 million, and worldwide tally is $253.3 million in its first 10 days.

 

Heading into the weekend, Paramount knew the well-reviewed “Star Trek” had formidable challenges to overcome. Younger generations generally aren’t as enthusiastic about the franchise, which spawned 10 films, the last of which, “Star Trek: Nemesis,” was released in 2002.

 

Abrams’ pic, which targeted youthful auds with a young cast and plenty of action, still appealed heavily to adults -- 65% of those in the aud were over age 25, but enough of a range turned out to satisfy Paramount.

 

In a promising sign of the film’s good word of mouth, “Star Trek” was up slightly from Friday to Saturday, a point even rival studios commented on.

 

“J.J. Abrams did everything we could have asked for in re-energizing this franchise and making a fantastic movie for everyone,” said Par vice chair Rob Moore.

 

“Star Trek,” followed by “Wolverine,” led another up weekend at the domestic box office, with revs running as much as 22% over the same weekend last year in a promising start for the summer season.

 

“Star Trek” was a boon for Imax as well. Imax theaters generated $8.3 million in tickets sales, or 11% of the film’s entire gross. “Star Trek” played in 138 Imax theaters, where most of the shows sold out.

 

“The DNA of ‘Star Trek’ and Imax are a perfect match,” Imax’s Greg Foster said.

 

It’s not ideal to have two films with overlapping auds like “Star Trek” and “Wolverine” open one week apart. Also, “Wolverine” is part of a healthy current franchise.

 

Fanboy-driven films often see big drops in their second weekend, but “Wolverine’s” was more than most, and likely due to the entry of “Star Trek.”

 

However, “X-Men: The Last Stand” also saw a big drop, declining 67% in its second frame, even with no direct competitor. That film cumed $234 million domestically.

 

Next weekend will pose a crucial test for “Start Trek” and, to a lesser extent, “Wolverine.” That’s the last frame before Warner Bros.’ “Terminator Salvation” bows.

 

“Wolverine’s” strong run overseas could give it an advantage. In its second weekend at the foreign box office, “Wolverine” held the No. 1 slot in 22 markets, including all Latin American territories, China, Belgium, the Philippines and Hong Kong.

 

For the weekend, “Wolverine” grabbed its top figures in the U.K. with $3.3 million, France with $3.25 million and Brazil with $2.3 million -- beating “Star Trek” in the latter two territories.

 

“For ‘Wolverine’ to gross nearly $130 million in 10 days domestically, and over $253 million worldwide, is sensational in a competitive marketplace,” said Fox senior VP of distribution Chris Aronson.

 

In its foreign debut, which included a respectable $7,100 per-location average, “Star Trek” saw its best numbers from territories where the franchise had a more successful history -- the U.K. at $8.8 million, Germany with $4.6 million and Australia with $3.4 million.

 

But Par said the film’s performance in other territories was promising as well. Pic opened to $2.8 million in France, $2.3 million in Russia and $2.2 million in South Korea.

 

In terms of comparable franchise reboots, “Star Trek” opened ahead of Warner Bros.’ “Batman Begins” both domestically and internationally, although by only 3% overseas. In North America, “Batman Begins” opened to roughly $49 million.

 

The specialty box office remained lackluster, with few bright spots among indies or docus.

'Star' treks to top of foreign box office

Paramount pic nabs $35.5 million overseas

 

By DAVE MCNARY

 

The foreign launch of "Star Trek" beamed up a solid rather than spectacular $35.5 million at over 5,000 playdates in 54 markets, winning in 23 territories in its opening weekend.

"Trek" topped the second frame of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which slid 59% to $29.7 million at 8,978 in 102 markets.

 

The revamped "Star Trek," which had never seen significant international traction in its 10 previous incarnations, scored a respectable $7,100 per-location average. Top "Trek" takes came from the U.K. with $8.8 million, Germany with $4.6 million, Australia with $3.4 million, France with $2.8 million, Russia with $2.3 million, South Korea with $2.2 million and Spain with $1.6 million.

 

Paramount noted Sunday the "Trek" results came in 3% ahead of the 2005 re-invention of the Batman franchise, "Batman Begins," which finished with a $167 million foreign cume. Par also pointed out that the new "Star Trek" is already 47% ahead of the final international cume of the previous franchise entry, "Star Trek: Nemesis."

 

The "Trek" foreign launch followed an extensive international promo campaign with premieres in Australia, London and Germany along with junkets and pre-release screenings in Austria, New Zealand, Belgium, Holland and Madrid. Japan and China will open next weekend while Mexico's delayed launch has been set for June 5.

 

Paramount opted to open "Star Trek" in far fewer venues than Fox's launch last weekend for "Wolverine," which debuted with $73.1 million at 9,234 playdates. In its second frame, "Wolverine" grabbed its top figures in the U.K. with $3.3 million, France with $3.25 million and Brazil with $2.3 million -- beating "Star Trek" in the latter two territories.

 

"Wolverine" held the No. 1 slot in 22 markets, including all Latin American territories, China, Belgium, the Philippines and Hong Kong. Fox said it was encouraged that the actioner declined by 50% to 60% against "Star Trek" openings, asserting that the holds demonstrate "Wolverine" has playability and positive word-of-mouth.

 

"Wolverine" has cumed $123.7 million overseas, or $16 million short of the final foreign cume for 2000's "X-Men." "X2: X-Men United" took in $192 million internationally in 2003 and "X-Men: the Last Stand" cumed $224 million outside the United States in 2006.

 

Disney scored decent counterprogramming coin with "Hannah Montana: The Movie" grossing $7.8 million at 1,500 in 16 markets, including a $3.4 million first-place launch in Spain, where it handily topped "Wolverine" with $2.3 million and more than doubled the "Star Trek" opening. "Hannah" also scored $2.1 million in its British soph sesh, down only 33%.

Yeah I believe there aren't any special scenes...but apparently it's definately worthwhile, because...

 

Sets IMAX Record

While none of the above numbers set any general box office records, there is one figure within the numbers that did just that: its performance in IMAX theaters. Playing in 138 of the large-screen venues, "Star Trek" set a new opening weekend record of $8.5M, with nearly 11% of its gross attributed to IMAX theaters. That beats previous record-holder "The Dark Knight" ($6.3M) by nearly a third.

Going to this tonight Can't wait to see Chris Pine
