Star Trek Into Darkness (Pre-release)

[Lost21stJedi]

Just a theory, I'm probably wrong seeing as I don't follow Star Trek as much as some here, just thought it was plausible.

No, it's a good instinct, I agree I like it as well.

I didn't hate the other poster, but this new one really looks sweet.

Even if I'm not too keen on the design of the dreadnought ship.

It's like they thought about radically changing the makeup like they did with the Romulans, then decided not to and ended up with a something that's not quite right.

Urban was the only member of that cast that I thought did justice to the Character.

He was riffing on De's interpretation and I loved it!

I dunno, dude. I love the original cast and DeForest Kelley was amazing... Karl Urban does one hell of a job with the character as well. Not selling Kelley short at all... it's just Urban's impressed me unlike anyone in a Trek uniform in a long, long time.

 

[Apollo]

Actually the Network wanted De to play McCoy

Roddenberry wanted Kelley for the part - having gone through two other doctors prior to his casting... so it's easy to think that McCoy was also created with Kelley in mind.

Obviously, we're going to disagree... I think it's very apparent Roddenberry and Star Trek writers created the Leonard McCoy character. Did DeForrest Kelley play some role in that character's development/evolution? Yes. Did DeForrest Kelly create the character? No.

But that would directly contradict what was posted in the TrekBBS.

I can still hope it's not true!!! :lol

 

[jcoffman99]

Then that may be great news.

This is what I was getting at the other day. Only one source has used the name. The Empire review calls him Harrison.

I, too, find it suspicious that we still only have one, uncorroborated source for these "spoilers." All the articles out there are quoting the same IMDB post.

I'd have to go back and watch the clip, but doesn't he say something to the effect of: "I can give you 72 reasons and they are on board this ship" (rather than "...and they are in your cargo hold" or some-such)?

Isn't *HE* on board the ship? Do we know if there are, in fact, 72 containers PLUS Cumberkhan? The point being, could he not be including himself in the "72 reasons"?

How would Kahn be an active member of Starfleet? I think he is part of an agency that needs Kahn and his crew for something. As for the 72 reasons aboard this ship, maybe he reveals to Kirk that he knew the Enterprise already has the pods and where the pods were picked up

Not according to Wikipedia...

"Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry had worked with Kelley on previous television pilots,[16] and Kelley was Roddenberry's first choice to play the doctor aboard the USS Enterprise.[17] However, for the rejected pilot "The Cage" (1964), Roddenberry went with director Robert Butler's choice of John Hoyt to play Dr. Philip Boyce.[18] For the second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (1966), Roddenberry accepted director James Goldstone's decision to have Paul Fix play Dr. Mark Piper.[19] Although Roddenberry wanted Kelley to play the character of ship's doctor, he didn't put Kelley's name forward to NBC; the network never "rejected" the actor as Roddenberry sometimes suggested.[17]"

 

[Michael Bergeron]

And Wikipedia is never wrong... :lol

Not that I doubt the info, but there's a reason Wiki isn't permitted as a reference source in post secondary institutions.

 

[Apollo]

I will take De's word over wiki anyday :lol, and yes De, Deforest Kelley, personally told me that story.

There are links to support the statements. Not that the links are going to be accurate either.

I forgot to post a link to the actual Wiki page... Leonard McCoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't let the facts confuse you. DeForest Kelley - who is dead and can't refute any of this... or Roddenberry whose statements on the casting are documented as well.

 

[Apollo]

Bold statement Bro calling Deforest a liar! :lol



You do know Roddenberry ALWAYS played loose with the truth right?

Too late for this?
Just saw the thing on FB and took a screen cap...
