Star Trek II (film) - J.J. Abrams

[bassman]

Japanese Version with a bit of more footage and a different score at the end. Very reminiscent of a certain scene from a certain previous entry of Star Trek. A hint or more of the usual Abrams misdirection?

Well, they look damned good to me, but I haven't watched with any audio yet ... I'll check them out properly tonight, but I'm quite hopeful.

Full length Teaser. This is what's playing in front of non-imax screening of The Hobbit.

Full length Teaser. This is what's playing in front of non-imax screening of The Hobbit. Yup, saw it this weekend in the non-3D showing and the trailer was quite epic on that big screen.

bootleg of the 9 minute imax opening. With an annoying girl talking and laughing over it like a dumbass, but you get the idea.: http://video.yandex.ru/users/geogz/view/7#

Kinda related, but definitely worth sharing.... When a friend posted that his Trekkie buddy was terminally ill and likely wouldn't live long enough to see the theatrical release of "Into Darkness", J.J. Abrams stepped up, contacted the guy, and set up a personal screening of an early cut. All within four days. I applaud Abrams for this. I respect the man's vision already, but this is just beyond words. http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/dire...ly-ill-trekkie

( 2009 ) where some guys organize a roadtrip to crash Skywalker ranch to see an advance cut of Star Wars:The Phantom Menace, because their bud's dying of cancer? If this is a true story, as the 80's band OMC would say "How Bizarre. " Wayne Z

" Wayne Z It is, apparently, not very odd for dying people to make requests from authors for info about how their fav series will end, or to request advanced screenings from filmmakers for their fav franchise. I've definitely heard of similar real life instances happening before.

Only a week or so after seeing "Star Trek Into Darkness", the fan has passed away. Last night around 10:15pm, Dan Craft, who has been a member of Subway Cinema since 2004, passed away. His wife and brother were with him when he went, and he wasn't in any pain. He'd been a bit loopy for a few days as his liver failed and toxins built up in his blood, and on Thursday his wife asked him if he needed to go to the bathroom. "I'm going..." he proclaimed, "Into the future." See you there, Dan. Dan Craft: 1971 - 2013 We miss you. Very sad to hear he passed, but it's also heartwarming to hear that he got his final wish. Much respect to Abrams for doing this. Just in time, at that.

Holy bad Scottish and Russian accents Batman!

[bassman]

I couldn't tell you whether the accents are good or not, but I do remember Simon Pegg saying his wife is Scottish and Anton Yelchin actually being Russian. They have to have some basis for it...
