Star Trek Trailer 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 googles. 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”
