A "trusted source" over at Hollywood Chicago posted a description of the Star Trek teaser that will be attached to Cloverfield on Friday. They can't reveal the "trusted source" who gabs about the trailer that comes out in three days but wow, aren't they lucky for seeing a trailer three days early?
On top of that they give a "spoiler-ahead" warning which I'm doing only to mock. How the hell is describing a trailer 'spoiling'? Are you truly spoiled when you read about a TRAILER that is MADE to SHOW OFF the FILM? Are any of you really spoiled by watching a trailer and in turn spoiled by reading three days earlier about the trailer??? And isn't having a headline saying 'Star Trek Teaser Trailer Description' pretty self-explainatory???
I'll stop bitching and get onto the trailer's description:
Slow Paramount logo.
Bad Robot logo.
Black, suddenly some sparks (very saturated [with] Michael Bay-looking cinematography).
We hear an old NASA radio countdown: “30 seconds and counting.”
Close up of a timeless guy with goggles leaning down doing some wielding and sparks flying around.
He lifts his goggles. Slightly futuristic head covering. It’s not a space suit, by the way.
The dude leans down and wields some more. He’s standing on big metal.
“From director J.J. Abrams” (blue font with a nice lens flare).
Some Kennedy speech about space flight: “The eyes of the world now look to space.”
People walking around the saucer section. The wielders are everywhere – showing size.
We hear: “The eagle has landed.”
Huge overhead shot pans across [and] suddenly [shows] what looks like miles of scaffolding underneath.
Title: “The future begins”.
Really impressive shot from … people all over the ship and you can see a huge industrialized city or shipyard in the background. It’s being built on Earth [rather than] in space.
Neil Armstrong: “One small step for man…”
Camera slowly cranes up over the whole saucer section.
Then we hear Leonard Nimoy’s line: “Space. The final frontier…” and the familiar "Star Trek" theme horns.
The shot continues [and reveals] the writing on the top of the saucer – “U.S.S. Enterprise” – and these huge aircraft-like warp engines in the background. Technically, the first reveal of what we’re seeing.
Just the Starfleet log (no title).
Title card: “Under construction”.
“Christmas 2008”So wow...the Enterprise was built and not hatched??? Hopefully you weren't spoiled that much!!! For me...the trailer has been ruined by me knowing what's going to happen...I won't be able to watch it!
