Why do these shots from the filming of "Corporate Headquarters" look suspiciously like the Starfleet Academy?

Anybody worried about... by 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle	Mar 18th, 2008 01:54:02 AM
the proliferation of comic actors in this? Of course, I guess Tom Hanks was once a comic actor too...plus why is Sulu not being played by a Japanese guy?

Hope that car isn't in the movie... by cart00n	Mar 18th, 2008 01:57:35 AM

If no it could be another interesting movie. I think the shuttle gives it away though.

Look very navy like. They make me think it isn't Star Trek.
That car is the new Aptera Hybrid by Zardoz	Mar 18th, 2008 02:06:05 AM
It can get 300 miles to the gallon and will be released for sale in CA next year. It's actually a 3-wheeled motorcycle. And apparently it will be used in the 23rd century, too!
Oh you're right. by ivehadsex	Mar 18th, 2008 02:07:04 AM

Why do they have the Enterprise symbol on the lamp posts? That's not a universal Starfleet symbol. Each starship had it's own, and that one is for the Enterprise.
The arrowhead is a common Starfleet symbol by skywalkerfamily	Mar 18th, 2008 02:27:58 AM
Enterprise even used it on the flags, and stuff.

The Aptera car by tough_times	Mar 18th, 2008 02:31:07 AM
since its set in the future, perhaps the Aptera is like the hippie VW bug of the future. All these profs are driving these old classics around looking cool, scoring with their students. Because if its not and that car is in the Star Trek movie posing as a future car, my suspension of disbelief will be ruined and I won't be able to enjoy the rest of the movie. C'mon JJ don't get lazy with us now. We are Star Trek nerds. We are into technology. Don't bust out present day crap and try to peddle it as "future" car. Seriously, we will destroy you.
CG! CARS!!! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 18th, 2008 02:35:56 AM
Looks like the car is the CGI paints of this thread.
the more I think about the angrier I get by tough_times	Mar 18th, 2008 02:37:39 AM
Well just color me nerd, because I just realized that car will be out before the movie. And everyone (if they haven't already) will know about it. It will be like someone driving a '08 Mustang or a Chevy Suburban across the Starfleet campus. I mean C'MON! I hope they cover it with CGI or something. Seriously, what a short-sighted thing to put in this movie.
about the arrowhead by slkboxrman	Mar 18th, 2008 02:40:01 AM
if this movie is indeed a prequel...the arrowhead symbol would ONLY be the enterprise symbol..anyone that watched the original series and knows any star trek history knows every ship had its own insignia....they adopted the enterprises arrowhead symbol because of enterprises historic missions and significance to starfleet.

Looks like a spring outing for Imperial officers by kevred	Mar 18th, 2008 02:53:17 AM
Don't the graysuits look like young Admiral Ozzels? I'm hoping we get a car-chase scene in the parking garage using that hybrid car. Spock can nerve-pinch the driver while Kirk slides across the hood, commandeers the car, and eludes those drunken Klingon thugs from Kappa Kappa Jajvam.
This feels like a viral campaign... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 18th, 2008 02:58:40 AM
The cynic in me says these were purposely leaked to the internet. Otherwise, Paramount would have demanded that they be taken down by now. Notice that there are possible clues for us to pick at and obsess over: The license plate on the futuristic car and the banners hanging from the light poles. This all smells like something that the studio WANTED us to see.
@skywalkerfamily: I thought a V remake, too... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 18th, 2008 03:07:40 AM
The gray uniformed people look quite a lot like Imperial officers from Star Wars. And the air car looks quite a lot like an updated version of the Visitor shuttle. But, alas, the familiar Starfleet arrowhead emblem on the banners strongly over rides the possibility that this is a V remake. (Now if the banners had the Visitor Nazi-like emblem, that would totally seal the deal.) As for the continuity regarding the arrowhead (which was originally designated for the Enterprise NCC-1701), perhaps these extras are, in fact, the first crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701. In other words, what we are seeing here is what will be a commencement ceremony for the NCC-1701 crew. I'm willing to give JJ Abrams the benefit of the doubt that he is respecting the basics of Trek continuity here.
If you follow the Red Shirt Theory... by Karl Hungus	Mar 18th, 2008 03:15:47 AM

Establish and crowd shots by Jim Jam Bongs	Mar 18th, 2008 03:25:50 AM
I can confirm that this was second unit work done for crowd and establishing shots. This is for a commencement event for the first crew of the Enterprise. The red people are the ship's crew, and the grey people are the ones who built the Enterprise. It's some kind of graduation ceremony where the ship is symbolically handed over from the builders to its first crew. The futuristic car will be cloned and appear as several parked flying cars surrounding the area -- they moved it from one spot, filmed the crowd, then moved the crowd and car to other spots, repeat. This was second unit work. I know this because I have a fellow professional colleague who was there, so that's all I can say. I do think that Bad Robot "leaked" this to AICN on purpose. It's their standard MO for teasing the Internet community.
Maybe the car ain't in the film at all. by Cagliostro	Mar 18th, 2008 03:34:43 AM
Perhaps some Studio guy got one early and drove it to the set. It is sitting "Behind" a blue screen.

Star Trek didn't need a reboot....BUT by The Biomind	Mar 18th, 2008 04:21:57 AM
Star Trek doesn't need a reboot, revamp or whatever. But it needs good stories and movies that are not treated like tv episodes. The last two TNG movies simply weren't good movies - that's the problem. People are not tired of Star Trek. But they are tired of Data discovering his emotions AGAIN for the 100th time. And nobody wants second rate villains when after First Contact everybody wanted to see a Borg aramada on the silver screen. Plus, the last movie had ridiculously badly staged action scenes. Remember how silly it looked, when Worf landed on his stomach while firing a phaser rifle? Jeez. And the last tv series Enterprise went off the air because Archer and his colleagues were the most wooden and boring people whoe ever traveled through space. It also wasn't necessary in the last movies to hold on to characters like boring Geordi, while they should have better used somebody like Janeway, Seven or Quark. Star Trek has so many characters, and nobody over at Paramount ever realized it.

Biomind... by TinSpider	Mar 18th, 2008 04:32:51 AM
You're bang on with the character thing. I would have liked one of the last next gen movies to be a mass crossover of Next Gen, Voyager and DS9. Big fuck off war. Sisco, Chakotay and Picard fighting side by side. Ahhh, the missed opertunities.
Agreed: Last NG flick should have included DS9 and VOY by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 18th, 2008 04:45:45 AM
They should have taken the strongest characters from DS9 and Voyager to appear (at least in secondary roles) alongside the strongest Next Gen characters.

Same than Xiphos and kwisatzhaderach by SpencerTrilby	Mar 18th, 2008 05:57:36 AM
the writers are fishy. The director made a godawfully expensive first feature that looked like a glorified TV pilot, the cast is controversial to say the least... And the Trek franchise doesn't interest the mass audiance anymore, just the fans. Massive bomb in the making, Stardate: May '09.
the car is simply a retro model by theycallmemrglass	Mar 18th, 2008 05:59:23 AM
coming back into fashion in 23rd century. Its quite cool how everything looks futuristic from a colourful 60s perspective and to see this knowing that no cgi or special effects are in at this stage!

And why cover up those pretty palm trees with a silly blue wall with dots all over it? What could that be about? Are blue walls with dots supposed to be futuristic? I hope they replace that lame wall with some cool CGI spaceship or something. It's not too late to fix it, JJ!
About the car being "retro" by sambrook	Mar 18th, 2008 06:19:45 AM
If the car is in the film and is treated as a classic vehicle then isn't that just as bad as iRobot's "classic 2005 Converse" plug?
FFS CreasyBear by HenryVIII	Mar 18th, 2008 06:24:56 AM
The reason for the silly blue wall with dots all over it is so that they CAN replace it. It's called ... brace yourself ... a bluescreen. The dots are reference points for the animators.

And boobs? Another fuckup by Abrams. Make it "youthful" and cast a bunch of "hot" actors and actresses, and then cover them up in smothering, body-encasing red jumpsuits. Paramount at its finest.
So, are they going with just the red suits? by rbatty024	Mar 18th, 2008 06:55:21 AM
You know, like in the movies, or are they going to include the blue and yellow and whatever other colors there were? Maybe these are just those on track for a commanding position. But wait, didn't they change what the colors meant from the original show. Fuck, this is getting confusing.
Starfleet Academy= Sky High by RenoNevada2000	Mar 18th, 2008 07:00:01 AM

It looks like they're setting off to Klendathu by unionJACKass.webs.com	Mar 18th, 2008 07:03:23 AM
It reminds me of STARSHIP TROOPERS before they set off for war at Klendathu. By the way, anyone else think STARSHIP TROOPERS deserved better sequels than what we're getting now? Verhoeven is a great director, we saw what happened to the ROBOCOP series when he opted out.

Giant SFX Blue Screens in Background. by Jefftyisfive	Mar 18th, 2008 08:55:27 AM
Giant sfx bluescreens with dot patterns in background. Some special effects are being planned! And as someone who watched classic Trek when it was first broadcast, sure I'm a bit iffy on this whole recasting reboot, but unless some one is going to rejuvinate the cast like in the Tales of the Darkside episode, "Distant Signals", then this is how to go. And about the ONLY person I would trust to do this is JJ Abrams. Don't let us down JJ!

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN UNQUALIFIED DISASTER. by uss cygnus	Mar 18th, 2008 04:07:20 PM
I feel like Chuck Heston running through the streets yelling "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!" I mean, are you kidding me? "Enterprise" wasn't bad enough, "Nemesis" wasn't bad enough, and now we need this garbage to put the last bullet in the carcass? Will we see the clone wars in this one, too?
AND NOW WE HAVE IMPERIAL OFFICERS AS INSTRUCTORS? by uss cygnus	Mar 18th, 2008 04:08:38 PM
IE: Blackshirts.

Kudos for remembering "Distant Signals". That was a great 30 minutes of syndicated television, made all the betterer by the inclusion of the great Darren McGavin. And I'm sure the bluescreens in the pics are to show the GIGANTIC STARSHIP ENTERPRISE that's been BUILT ON THE GROUND, because apparently somebody thought it was a cute idea to have an enormous, top-heavy warp driven starship built on the ground and not someplace more practical like, oh I dunno, SPACE.
THERE ARE NO ALIENS AT STARFLEET ACADEMY? by uss cygnus	Mar 18th, 2008 04:09:48 PM
I sense Barack Obama and his pastor will be saying "Not "God Bless" the Federation, "God DAMN the Federation!!"
And are some of those female cadets wearing ... by Geekgasm	Mar 18th, 2008 04:11:22 PM
... raspberry berets? The kind you find in a second- hand store?

The Good News & The Bad News by Mr. Nice Gaius	Mar 18th, 2008 04:21:36 PM
The Good news - if this relaunch turns out to be an utter disaster, it should finally put a stake through the STAR TREK heart. The Bad news - if this relaunch comes off as even remotely servicable (with a modest B.O.), then it will force this tired, overwrought franchise to limp on as yet another incarnation that continues to water down its past glories. Damn.

I bet something really bad is about to happen in this scene.

PURE BULLSHIT! As Many have already pointed out... by conspiracy	Mar 18th, 2008 04:54:42 PM
1. The car is a Tree hugger trike you can buy at the end of the year. 2. Where ARE the aliens? 3. Most importantly.. the Skirts are NOT SHORT ENOUGH when compared with TOS. Uhura and Rand showed some cheek on every episode..THESE are down to the floor in comparison. Fuck You JJ Abrams....Fuck you right in your ego inflated head.

Will we see Finnegan? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 18th, 2008 05:37:06 PM
He was Kirk's torment at the Academy! Hey Jimmy Boy!!
It really cracks me up by Reel American Hero	Mar 18th, 2008 05:37:38 PM
The level of nerditry present every time the words Star and Trek come up in the headline. I'm a huge fanboy as well, so I can understand the level of obsession that comes with things. But oh my God...."this picture here clearly violates the canon established in episode 2, season 1, scene 24 frame number 24:45 that shows that'....it's just awesome. I've had my moments similar, so I'm not exactly innocent when it comes to this myself, but it's still funny.

The car seen in the photo is a real car. It can be bought in California. It also gets around 300 mpg

looks like Princess Vespa's spaceship in Spaceballs?
HEY XIPHOS by BringingSexyBack	Mar 18th, 2008 07:01:18 PM
Naw, I live downtown but did go see the crane incident up close. It was leaning from one side of 50th Street to the other. Looked like Clovercrab had gone through the block. It's a wonder there are not more such accidents around here. There is SO MUCH construction going on in the city and crazy ass cranes hanging everywhere.
the other reason Sulu is not being played by a Japanese guy by Multiplex	Mar 18th, 2008 07:25:03 PM
because it's not a Japanese fucking surname, so he can be any kind of Asian. Say he's mixed, and shut up about it.
I want their bloody costumes. by wintocha67	Mar 18th, 2008 07:33:06 PM
Do ya think they'll glut the market when this thing is over? I'm pretty tall so I'll need an XL.
I'll check you fools on the quad!!! by BetaRayBill07	Mar 18th, 2008 08:15:44 PM

The CSUN quad was also "Stanford" in that by themikejonas	Mar 18th, 2008 08:50:33 PM
steaming pile of a Knight Rider backdoor pilot, in that scene where KITTINO picks up the inventor's daughter.

It's a cross between Trek, Wars, and V by skywalkerfamily	Mar 18th, 2008 09:02:08 PM
Weird.
CORPORATE headquarters, indeed. by Zodou	Mar 18th, 2008 10:22:10 PM
If that vehicle is to be featured in the film, even in background, we may be looking at the biggest jump since the off road chase in Nemesis. That is, IF it is a part of the film.
Looks like a Target Seminar. by skywalkerfamily	Mar 18th, 2008 10:30:19 PM
HI! I WORK AT TARGET, I MEAN STARFLEET.

Fuck this mess. by Jaka	Mar 19th, 2008 01:01:21 AM
Those pictures did nothing but push me even farther towards adding this dung to the Enterprise trash heap. Enterprise, as far as I'm concerned, never existed. Eventually somebody MIGHT make a proper ST movie again, I imagine another good TV series will come first, though. Regardless, when did SF cadets wear fucking hats?
'futuristic car' in the Cal State Northridge by rslatin	Mar 19th, 2008 02:06:50 AM
The car is the Aptera, designed for mass production (maybe) as a hybrid or all-electric 3-wheeler. Find it at Aptera.com. In was on the cover of Popular Science/Mechanic Magazine in December, 2007.

Why is Sulu not Japanese shouldn't be added to the list of stupi by 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle	Mar 19th, 2008 05:49:41 AM
..You guys need to be added to the list of fuckin' assholes. Who does it matter to? How about a Japanese person? I'm sure George Takei asked it himself once the casting was announced. Anybody see Memoirs of a Geisha? No...cause it was a bunch of fuckin' Chinese people playin' fuckin' Japanese people. There's a difference, shitdicks.
..id questions. Dumbass character count. But... by 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle	Mar 19th, 2008 05:53:12 AM
...back to Star Trek, I dunno. The commencement ceremony is a good save, because indeed, the insignia is wrong otherwise. Trekkies are notoriously sensitive to minutiae, and they don't forgive the way Star Wars fans do. Jeez, SW fans really save Lucas' ass a LOT. I like both franchises, SW a little more, but I'm all for going back to TOS Trek, even with new people...just not sure about this cast. I was all for Damon and Sinise as Kirk and McCoy. Dunno about Pathfinder being Bones...

The vehicle in the picture was profiled yesterday on yahoo news as a new 3-weel hybrid
This is just stupid retro-Trek BS... by Kid Z	Mar 19th, 2008 11:48:13 AM
...like that lame-@$$ Deep Space Nine episode. Yeah let's make the uniforms for space explorers miniskirts as if that would make sense... why? Because that's what they had on classic Trek forty years ago. Let's have the Enterprise built in Area 51... why? Because Area 51 is "edgy". Uh, no... Area 51 was "edgy" in 1993! Well, one plus to this abortion will be that it'll kill Trek forever... at last.
I love the look on the security guard's face in the last shot. by ar42	Mar 19th, 2008 12:53:52 PM
He's completely unaware that he's less than 72 hours from getting his ass fired for letting spies leak pics of the Kirkomobile (TM).

The car in the last couple of pictures is called an Aptera and it will hopefully be available in the next year or so. Visit www.aptera.com to learn more about his very cool Jetsons-like car.
The car can't be product placement, can it? by scrumdiddly	Mar 25th, 2008 01:17:30 PM
They wouldn't stoop so low, would they?

Why do these shots from the filming of "Corporate Headquarters" look suspiciously like the Starfleet Academy?
