Star Trek (also referred to as Star Trek XI) is an upcoming science fiction film, the eleventh entry in the Star Trek film series, based on the franchise created by Gene Roddenberry. In April 2006, after several years of rumor and speculation, Paramount Pictures announced that the film would be produced by Lost co-creators J. J. Abrams (who is also directing) and Damon Lindelof. It was written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who are also executive producers with Bryan Burk, Jeffrey Chernov and Level 1 Entertainment executives Bill Todman, Jr., Edward Milstein, and Paul Schwake. The film will simply be called Star Trek[1] and will be released on May 8 2009 in the United States, after being pushed back from Christmas 2008.[2]
Premise
The story will focus on the earliest adventures of James T. Kirk and Spock,[3] and will also feature appearances by the main characters from the original series.[4]
Cast
- Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. The actor dropped out of starring in a film adaptation of White Jazz to take on the role.[5] Pine said he wanted to evoke Kirk's characteristics, but not completely replicate William Shatner's performances. "My job is to take something new, to take that and build upon it, really do my own thing," he said. "I just feel no pressure when it comes to that."[6] For some time it was widely rumored that Matt Damon would play Kirk in the movie. Damon, upon hearing the rumors, including comments from William Shatner giving him a "seal of approval" for the role,[7] contacted Abrams to ascertain the truth, only to be told that the Kirk in the film was a younger man and he was "too old" for the part.[8][9] Damon commented that if sequels are made featuring an older Kirk than that portrayed by Pine, then he would be interested in playing the role.[7]
- Jimmy Bennett plays the young James Kirk.[10]
- Zachary Quinto as Spock.[11] For the role, Quinto shaved his eyebrows, and spent three hours a day having pointed ears and large earlobes applied, so as to match Nimoy's appearance.[12] Adrien Brody had discussed playing the role with the director before Quinto was cast.[13]
- Leonard Nimoy appears as an older version of Spock. Regarding how two Spocks would appear in the film, Quinto was only allowed to reveal "[that] there's going to be a sense of guidance through this film", as he was bound by his non-disclosure agreement. Quinto quickly became friends with Nimoy after being cast in the role.[14]
- An as-yet-unrevealed actor is playing another version of Spock.[15]
- Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Like Pine, Urban said of taking on the role that "it is a case of not doing some sort of facsimile or carbon copy, but really taking the very essence of what DeForest [Kelley] has done and honoring that and bringing something new to the table". Urban has been a fan of the show since he was seven years old and actively pursued the role.[16]
- Simon Pegg as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott.[17] Paul McGillion auditioned for the role, and although Pegg was eventually cast in the role, McGillion impressed producers enough that he was given another role in the film.[18]
- Chris Doohan, the son of the original Scotty, James Doohan, will make a cameo appearance. He previously cameoed in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.[19]
- Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov: As with the rest of the cast, Yelchin was allowed to choose what elements there were from their predecessor's performances. Yelchin decided to carry on Walter Koenig's speech patterns of replacing "v"s with "w"s. He described Chekov as an odd character, being a Russian who was brought on to the show "in the middle of the Cold War". He recalled a "scene where they're talking to Apollo [who says], 'I am Apollo.' And Chekov is like, 'And I am the czar of all Russias.' [...] They gave him these lines. I mean he really is the weirdest, weirdest character." [20] Yelchin has revealed that he is signed on to reprise the role two more times.[21]
- Zoë Saldaña as Uhura. Abrams had liked her work and requested that she play the role. Saldaña never saw the original series, but agreed to play the role after Abrams had complimented her. "For an actor, that's all you need, that's all you want. To get the acknowledgement and respect from your peers," she said. She met with Nichelle Nichols, who explained to her how she had created Uhura's background, and also named the character.[22]
- John Cho as Hikaru Sulu.[23] James Kyson Lee was interested in the part, but because Quinto was cast as Spock, the producers of the TV show Heroes did not want to lose another cast member for three months.[24] Sulu's original portrayer, George Takei, had expressed hope he would appear in the film alongside Nimoy.[25]
- Eric Bana as Nero, the film's villain. Bana compared his screentime to a cameo appearance, but said, "It's a really well-written script, great part. Couldn't say no. I don't actually look at the size of parts ever."[26] Bana is a fan of the franchise, since being "a huge Trekkie when I was a kid", and felt "if I get compared to any of [the classic villains], I’ll be doing well". His scenes will be shot at the end of principal photography.[27]
- Clifton Collins, Jr.' as General Ayel, Nero's henchman.[28]
- Bruce Greenwood as Christopher Pike.[29]
- Chris Hemsworth as George Samuel Kirk, Sr., Kirk's father.[30]
- Jennifer Morrison' as Winona Kirk, Kirk's mother.[31]
- Spencer Daniels as George Samuel "Sam" Kirk, Jr., Kirk's older brother, who appears in a scene with Jimmy Bennett.[10]
- Ben Cross as Sarek, Spock's father.[32]
- Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson, Spock's mother.[33]
Sonita Henry,[34] Randy Pausch,[35] and James Cawley have unnamed roles. Cawley appears as a Starfleet officer.[36] Rachel Nichols plays an Orion alien.[37] Tyler Perry is playing the head of Starfleet Academy.[38] Lucia Rijker will be playing a Romulan communications officer. Kelvin Yu is a Starfleet medical technician.[39] A tribble will make an appearance in the film.[40]
William Shatner has repeatedly said he would like to reappear as the old Kirk, despite having been killed off in Star Trek Generations. He suggested bringing elements of the novels where Kirk is resurrected into canon with the film. Abrams turned him down, stating: "You and I could come up with dozens of ways, but every way that we came up with felt like it was transparently fan boys trying to get Shatner in the movie." [41] Greg Grunberg, who is Abrams's "good luck charm", had to turn down a part in the film because he was busy doing another movie.[42] Abrams approached Timothy Olyphant for a part.[43]
Casting choices
Controversy exists about the actors chosen to play in the movie. Some believe that by hiring actors that are either models or metrosexuals, it will follow in the same footsteps as Star Trek: Enterprise where the actors were uninspiring, among other uninspiring elements like it's theme song that spectacularly bombed. Some also perceive the current casting choice as a continuation of personal insults toward trekkers that actors may be purely chosen based on the most superficial of characteristics to play in a serie that is traditionally known for everything but superficiality.
Production
Development
A prequel concept was opposed by Star Trek's creator Gene Roddenberry when it first was proposed by Harve Bennett in 1991 after the completion of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.[44] In 2003, Rick Berman, then-executive producer of the Star Trek franchise, began quietly discussing the possibility of an eleventh Star Trek feature film. However, because of the failures in 2002 and 2005 of the franchise, including the tenth film, Star Trek Nemesis and the cancellation of the television series Star Trek: Enterprise, these statements were widely ignored. However, in February 2005, Berman told Variety that screenwriter Erik Jendresen, among others, was involved in pre-production of a new film.[45]
Despite being tangled up in rumors of other screenplays under consideration,[46][47][48][49] the Jendresen script was widely believed to be in pre-production. It was believed that the story, titled Star Trek: The Beginning, would revolve around a new set of characters, led by a man named Tiberius Chase. It would take place in a time after Enterprise but before Star Trek: The Original Series, possibly during the Earth-Romulan War. These rumors have since been verified in large part by Jendresen.[50]
However, on February 25, 2006, Douglas Mirabello, a personal assistant to Rick Berman, made an extensive posting at the Something Awful forums in which he denied that production on The Beginning was going forward, and claimed that Star Trek was dead for the time being. "The franchise needs a totally new creative team, some time off, and a cool new approach", he said.[51] In Jendresen's words, "Essentially, what's being said is true. This is 'dead' because it's not moving forward. It's like a shark. It has got to keep moving or it's dead."[50]
On April 20, 2006, the Associated Press reported that the eleventh Star Trek movie was officially to be produced. Citing sources at Paramount Pictures, the AP reported that the untitled new movie would be directed and produced by J. J. Abrams, best known as the creator and executive producer of the television shows Alias and Lost, and as the producer/director of Mission: Impossible III. Most of this information was later confirmed by Paramount and other sources. Longtime Abrams collaborators Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have since independently confirmed that they will be writing the movie, with fellow Abrams alumnus Damon Lindelof co-producing. Kurtzman, Orci, and the final member of Abrams' production company, Bryan Burk, are all executive producers.
For many months after the film was announced, Abrams declined to make a decision about whether or not he would accept the directorship offered him by Paramount. On February 23, 2007, Abrams had finally accepted Paramount's offer to direct Star Trek XI.[52] Afterward, Paramount Pictures announced a release date of December 25, 2008.[53] On January 7, 2007, J.J. Abrams announced that the first draft script for the movie was complete and awaiting what he referred to as "tweaking". He remarked that it will satisfy "non-Trekkers" and that for those who love Star Trek, "the fix that they get will be very satisfying". He has said that it will begin filming in 2007, with a release date of 2008. Contrary to some reports, Abrams pointedly did not confirm details of the film or its plot.[54][55]
Star Trek will be the first film in the franchise in which Paramount has collaborated with other production companies to finance the film. J. J. Abrams' company, Bad Robot Productions, and Bill Todman Jr.'s Level 1 Entertainment are developing the picture alongside Paramount.[56]
Writing
Answering questions over whether the film would modify continuity, as either a retcon or a reboot, screenwriter Roberto Orci said Star Trek is "in some senses" a prequel, but that the terms he and producer Damon Lindelof prefer are "re-invigoration" or "re-vitalization."[57] Abrams has saluted both the fans and the continuity. "Being involved with a series that has a passionate and vocal following makes me incredibly sympathetic. They have put up with so many incarnations along the way. These fans, they are a smart bunch. They are an intelligent group. We are very respectful and we have no intention of subverting the material," he told Donald Clarke of The Irish Times.[58] Later, to Empire, he said, "As someone who works on a show that has a very loyal and vocal fanbase, I do understand the need to be respectful ... I think we can do the fans proud."[59]
Abrams has not seen Star Trek Nemesis, and claims that the franchise eventually "disconnected" for him. However, Roberto Orci claims "immediate recall" of all things Trek, and has made comments indicating that he considers even some of the line of Star Trek novels to have canon value, although Gene Roddenberry never considered the novels to be canon.[60] Abrams has labeled Bryan Burk as being "relatively fresh" to the Star Trek universe. Abrams labeled himself as a "big fan", but not a "Trekker" or a "Trekkie".[61]
The film's shooting script has also been fiercely protected, even with the main cast. Actor Simon Pegg said the script is "very hush-hush; when I read it, I read it with a security guard near me - it's that secretive."[62] The film is known within the industry by the code-name Corporate Headquarters.[63]
Roberto Orci has indicated that where issues of canonicity are ambiguous, a "Supreme Court" consisting of Kurtzman, Abrams, Burk, Lindelof and himself acted as the final arbiters and that they did not "sweat every little detail [...] either you buy [our interpretation] or you don’t."[64]
Following the commencement of the Writers Guild of America strike on November 5 2007, Abrams, himself a WGA member, told Variety that while he will not render writing services for the film and intends to walk the picket line, he does not expect the strike to impact his directing of the production.[65] In the final few weeks before the strike and start of production, Abrams and Damon Lindelof polished the script a final time.[66]
Filming
Filming began on November 7 2007. [67] The shoot was to last eighty-five days, taking place on eleven sets built at the Paramount backlot, including two weeks of location shooting in Iceland. [14] Filming was also done at Long Beach, California.[68] The shoot is to finish in March 2008.[69]
The design work for the film is being primarily done by Transformers designer Ryan Church and Trek veteran John Eaves.[70] NASA Imaging Science leader Carolyn Porco is a consultant on planetary science and imagery for the film.[71]
The production team has maintained heavily-enforced security around the film. Actor Karl Urban describes:
"[There is a] level of security and secrecy that we have all been forced to adopt. I mean, it's really kind of paranoid crazy, but sort of justified. We're not allowed to walk around in public in our costumes and we have to be herded around everywhere in these golf carts that are completely concealed and covered in black canvas. The security of it is immense. You feel your freedom is a big challenge." [72]
The film's budget has been estimated at over US$130 million, with Leonard Nimoy indicating an approximate US$150 million final figure, the largest for any Star Trek film to date. [73] [74]
Music
Michael Giacchino, the composer for several other Abrams projects, including MI:3, Lost, and Alias has confirmed that he will score Star Trek.[75] The composer will keep the original theme by Alexander Courage (a portion of which can be heard at the end of the teaser trailer released in January 2008, as well as on Paramount Picture's official film website). Giacchino admitted personal pressure in scoring the film, as "I grew up listening to all of that great [Trek] music, and that's part of what inspired me to do what I'm doing... You just go in scared. You just hope you do your best. It's one of those things where the film will tell me what to do."[76]
Marketing
The first teaser trailer debuted in theaters with Cloverfield on January 18 2008.[77] The teaser depicts the Enterprise being built on Earth, which Roberto Orci acknowledged would cause debates among fans regarding canon. Explaining that the concept came from their own creative licence and the precedent set in Star Trek novels, he said that the idea that some things have to be constructed in space is normally associated with "flimsy" objects which have to be delicately assembled and would not normally be required to enter a gravity well. He said that this did not apply to the Enterprise because of the artificial gravity employed on the ship and its requirement for sustaining warp speed, and therefore the calibration of the ship's machinery would be best done in the exact gravity well which is to be simulated.[64]
The voices of the 1960s which play over the trailer were intended to link the film to the present day; John F. Kennedy in particular was chosen because of similarities with the character of James T. Kirk and because he is seen to have "kicked off" the space race. Orci explained that "If we do indeed have a Federation, I think Kennedy’s words will be inscribed in there someplace."[64]
On January 21, a link on the official site brings users to a viral marketing website which is not unlike those created for Abram's other works, which shows footage of the ship under construction. Three screens of the four feeds shown can be adjusted for a clearer image by changing the frequency in the bar below each one. The fourth will show static and the caption "Searching for Signal" but will display a very brief corridor scene if left long enough.[78]
Master Replicas will create collectible items for the film,[79] while Playmates Toys will create action figures and toy ships for the film. Playmates had previously owned the toy license to Star Trek until 2000. Diamond Select/Art Asylum will still own the rights to items based on previous incarnations of the franchise.[80]
Bethesda Softworks, current license-holders for producting video games based upon the Star Trek franchise has announced that it will not be producing any computer games based upon the 2009 film. [81]
