[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Let's get to the crux of the matter here, people (and also back to what this thread was originally about): The greatest idea TPTB could have ever done to renew interest in Star Trek is to remake the Original Series in a movie format (NOT a television series) with a new cast playing the old roles, instead of pretty much any other idea involving a new cast of characters on a new ship in a new series that, as has been proven with Enterprise, was not even remotely new at all. I'd go so far as to say that there probably isn't one person on this board who thinks that the concept of this movie is a bad idea. None of the actors they've cast as the main roles are people I've ever even heard of or seen before. To me, this is a good thing. I have no preconceived notions about how any of these actors will portray their roles. Zachary Quinto could act exactly like Leonard Nimoy circa 1960's, and I'd be happy. Chris Pine could make an entirely new spin on the character of younger Kirk, and honestly I'd be fine with it as well. The only actor I've ever heard of is Winona Ryder, and honestly, does anyone really care that she's playing Amanda? I don't. They could have hired Fran Drescher, and as long as she didn't make that annoying laugh and took her role seriously, again, that's great. What concerns me is the story. Perhaps we should start a new thread devoted to movie rumors, but until someone does, I'll just post my thoughts here. Granted I know it's still way early, but the things I've heard recently about the plot, I don't really care for. And as far as the "disinformation" conspiracy-theorists go, I really don't find that plausible. I mean, c'mon, do you really think Abrams, Orci et. al would honor the fans of this show by basically lying to them by making up a bunch of bullshit, and then later essentially going, "ha-ha, fooled you suckers, that's not what the movie's about!" If you like being intentionally lied to, super. I don't. I was under the impression that the Nimoy scenes were just supposed to be a framing story for the real story of the 23rd century ST crew. Something similar to "The Green Mile," where elderly Tom Hanks-character is telling a story to someone else about events that happened to him years ago. Now it seems that there's...(SPOILERS AHEAD) $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ...time travel involved, via the Guardian of Forever being used by 25th century Romulans to go back in time & kill Kirk for whatever stupid implausible reason, and Nimoy-Spock goes after them, meets up with Quinto-Spock, and either sets the timeline right or makes a new one. Potential space battles between 25th century Romulan ships and the Enterprise-F aside, I really do not like this plot at all. Thoughts? [/QB][/QUOTE]
