"StarTrek The Beginning" Film die er nooit was.

Bericht door Trekscaper »

Voordat J.J Abrams de nieuwe StarTrek film ging maken, waren er geruchten dat een Band Of Brother schrijver een nieuwe StarTrek script had geschreven dat zeer donker was en met de Romulan Wars te maken had. Nu heeft aintitcool.com dit script in handen en delen ervan online gezet. Moet zeggen, klinkt erg cool. Een stukje:
WHAT KIND OF STORY IS THIS?

To put a pretty fine point on it, this is very much a classic War story set in the STAR TREK Universe. This is a sprawling tale…its structure evoking countless World War II films in particular.

THE BEGINNING takes traditional war genre structures/clichés and applies them to STAR TREK; a formula we’ve never seen before. For example, there are (literally) love letters written between characters…read in voice over…as one character heads off to battle, and the other sits at home worrying and waiting. THE BEGINNING is about a group of folks newly graduated from the United Earth Stellar Navy who are forced to go their separate ways in a time of great upheaval. Some head into war, some find other purposes, while all hell is breaking loose around them.

In structure, the story very much resembles STARSHIP TROOPERS mixed with the madness surrounding Pearl Harbor. As a whole, the script is extremely military in nature. How extreme? In one sequence…during a crisis…an Admiral orders two guards to stand down from their positions. The first guard receives a set of instructions from the Admiral, ending with “I’m ordering you to leave your post.” The first guard scurries off. The Admiral gives the second guard his orders, but the guard doesn’t budge. The Admiral then remembers to tell him “I’m ordering you to leave your post” – only then will the guard stand down.


TELL US MORE ABOUT THE SETTING…TREK’S GETTING KINDA CONFUSING!

It begins on Earth during August-September 2159 (this would place it between ENTERPRISE and ORIGINAL SERIES continuity).

The human race has a lot going on: the United Earth Stellar Navy (UESN) is a military attempting to find its place in the changing political landscape, and hone its interaction with a recently formed Coalition of Planets. Earth is changing…politics are changing. Extraterrestrials are becoming accepted and common members of our society, but this is also altering the way humans think, and the way things are done.

There’s talk of UESN merging with Starfleet, which would essentially militarize the exploration-based Starfleet. “Peace is too important to be left to politicians” intones one Commodore.

The NX-Omega is ready to fly – the first Warp 8 capable ship ever built (Warp 8 was the maximum warp stated for THE ORIGINAL SERIES Enterprise).

And…oh, yeah! There’s that mammoth Romulan attack fleet approaching Earth using a trajectory which conceals it behind Earth’s moon.

Het klinkt heel anders dan wat we nu zouden krijgen. In hoeverre denken jullie dat dit concept "echt" startrek is en succesvol zou zijn?

Het verhaal klinkt nogal standaard. Een leuke actiefilm misschien, maar ik zou toch liever een goed verhaal zien.
