Star Trek XI : Kobayashi Maru – Will we finally see Kirk’s solution? January 30, 2008

Though J.J Abrams has given up some details about Star Trek XI, some key elements are still ‘officially’ unknown.
HOWEVER – since we know this will include the early days of Kirk before he takes command of NCC-1701 – ShowMeSciFi.com is going to go out on a limb and state:
“In Star Trek XI we will finally see James T. Kirk take the Kobayahsi Maru test at Starfleet Academy.”
For years, we the fans have wondered exactly what Kirk did to pass that critical Starfleet examination (we know he ‘cheated’ or changed the rules as he says) – it will be MONUMENTAL to finally see the actual scene. The Kobayashi Maru is a defining test in a Starfleet officer’s career , presenting trainees with an impossible scenario and seeing how they respond.
As a refresher check out the first theatrical mention of the Kobayashi Maru in a STar Trek movie.

YUP. Looks like Paramount isn’t just doing a one off with Star Trek XI which could be a good thing if the movie is any good.
In an interview with IGN , Anton Yelchin (playing Checkov) said that he had been signed on for three movies.
That clearly means Paramount is serious about this new Trek and is ensuring that if it is successful that they can milk the cast for everything they can.
And hey it also opens up the opporunity for Shatner to make an appearance in Star Trek XII or XIII!
Chris Doohan (son of James ‘Scotty’ Doohan) Set for Star Trek XI role January 25, 2008

No James Doohan’s son won’t have the role of Scotty in Star Trek XI but he will have a role.
According to an interview he did with TrekMovie the younger Doohan isn’t quite sure of his role ..yet
At this point, I’m tentatively scheduled to go in later next week to film, but, like James Cawley, I still don’t know exactly what I’m going to do. I can tell you that my father would be happy with my position on the ship.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAwww isn’t that nice. Now why can’t they find a spot for Shatner!!!
New Star Trek XI Starfleet Uniform January 24, 2008

Until now most Starfleet Uniforms have been military yet not militaristic (if you know what I mean
Sure in ‘Yesterday’s Enterprise’ we saw a stiffer collar as the Federation battled the Klingons but…
Star Trek XI is going the Imperial route..or so it would seem.
JFXonline has posted some intriguing pics of the new Starfleet uniform.
It really does look like a knock off from Star Wars Imperial wardrobe with the hat and all.
Never before have we seen Starfleet personnel with hat as part of the Uniform. It also looks like they’re tossing out the oh-so-hip shirt look off the classic series and the vested look of the early Star Trek movies too.
Too early to say what this is all about..but one thing is for sure – J.J Abrams is messing with alot of stuff.

Time to get excited Star Trek XI fans.
Looks like there is an UNDER CONSTRUCTION site for Star Trek XI’s NCC-1701.
The site? Why it’s of course — what else would it be?
There are four cameras of the shipyard (i’m still hoping it’s Utopia Planetia) showing different stuff under construction..trick is you have to bring each camera into focus which by changing the frequency.
Sure you could try and figure it out yourself but why bother? Here are the frequencies:
camera 1 frequency of 555 (99.1%)
camera 2 frequency 120 (99.5%)
camera 4 frequency 289 (100% )
Now Camera 3 is the money shot! It only comes up every so often and it’s a pic of the interior of the new Star Trek XI NCC-1701 interior!!!
It looks ALOT like a TNG interior to me…i wonder if they’ll decide to put in a holodeck too..
Star Trek XI : Shatner Out Because Kirk is Dead January 21, 2008

Among all the excitement of the new Star Trek XI movie there is a major controversy.
William ‘Bill’ Shatner a.ka. Captain James Tiberius Kirk has been SHAFTED by the producers of Star Trek XI and will not be making an appearance.
Leonard Nimoy (SPOCK) is in it, but apparently Shatner isn’t good enough for J.J. Abrams.
“I think they’re coming toward the end (of shooting, so) they’ve got another three weeks to hire me,” Shatner joked at the opening of the traveling exhibit Star Trek: The Tour in a recent interview with USAtoday. “No, I don’t think you’ll be seeing me, unfortunately. I don’t know the reason why.”
Apparently the reason why is because Kirk died in Star Trek : Generations.
WHAT A LAME EXCUSE. Spock died at the end of Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan – he came back. Why not Shatner’s Kirk?
No i think the reason is because Shatner is such a giant in the Star Trek world that his appearance in Star Trek XI would overshadow all the others in the recast classic roles.
Want Shatner’s Kirk back? You’re not alone. Go check out BringBackKirk.com for a group that has got the right idea. It’s time for Kirk to Return. J.J. Abrams may think he’s some kind of hotshot director but without Shatner something will be missing from Star Trek XI.
The First Real Star Trek XI Teaser Trailer January 18, 2008

Forget about paying down good money to see Cloverfield just to see the Star Trek XI trailer..multiple copies are now online (one linked below)..
Oh and no need for the early fan trailer anymore either (though i bet a few will be made based on the real thing).
The trailer – is all about construction and ends with the words UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The NCC 1701 Enterprise looks wicked and they’ve refreshed the Starfleet Logo itself too.
Anyways enough of me..here’s the trailer..

An early first look at the Star Trek XI Enterprise is out today over on the Moviephone site (linked through the pic above).
Looks like a typical NCC-1701 ..though if you look close the forward tips of the warp nascells look like big turbines..something like you’d see on an Airbus A340.
It also looks like there is alot of scaffolding so she’s clearly in space doc of some sort (Utopia Planetia maybe?)
The first ‘real’ look of course comes on Jan 18th in the preview trailer showing ahead of Cloverfield.

Sarek is ‘Cross ‘ : Star Trek XI continues to take shape November 19, 2007

Ben Cross has been cast as Sarek, the Vulcan father of Spock.
Sarek was first played by Mark Lenard in the original series and subsequent movies. As all good Trek Triva buffs know Lenard was actually a Romulan commander too…
Cross will play opposite Winona Ryder – his human wife – while Zachary Quinto is Spock. Star Trek XI is set for an Xmas 2008 and is now in full production.

NO JOKE! Ryder will play Amanda, the human woman who marries Spock’s Vulcan father, Sarek.
No word yet who will play Sarek though…
Is this good or bad? frankly i think it’s great to have at least one A list actor in any movie…even if it is just a bit part.
Chris Pine is Star Trek XI’s Kirk October 18, 2007

Chris Pine is now officially confirmed as Kirk in Star Trek XI.
I’m not sure that i’m happy about that…i really think it would have been a whole lot cooler if a name A LIST actor got the role. Pine doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence in me.
But hey filming starts in a few weeks and they had to lock it down – so good luck Chris Pine and I hope you do better than Scott Bakula.

Dammit Jim I’m a Dr! Not a second rate actor who’s only real claim to fame is Lord of the Rings!
Karl Urban will be Bones in Star Trek XI.
I truly admired DeForest Kelly as Bones – and i remember the day he died well – because i was truly sad.
Star Trek XI Sulu Goes To White Castle October 12, 2007

Mr. Sulu engage Warp factor 5 – we’re going to White Castle!
John Cho, star of cult movie favorite “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle has now been signed up to play Sulu in Star Trek XI.
I think this is great news – George Takei is no comedian but getting a bit of a comic edge in the younger Sulu is a great thing….you never know where a wayward NCC-1701 could end up…
Star Trek XI Bad Guy a Real Hulk October 11, 2007

Alright so Eric Bana will be one of the bad guys in Star Trek XI.
We don’t know yet whether he’ll be a human/Romulan/Klingon/ or some other species.
We don’t know if there will be another bad guy in the movie either.
We do know that it’s classic era stuff – so Klingon or Romulan would still be my guesses..
But we’ll have to wait some time yet till we know for sure. Star Trek XI doesn’t hit the theaters till Xmas 2008.
Oh and let’s not forget …they still have to cast KIRK!
