It's impossible to say right now.

Awesome. Now the producers will have to put up or shut up, and the fan naysayers will have to admit the "official" ST drought is over. The same people who said ST was dead....yup, for 2 and a half years. I love when the pessimists have to eat crow (in general, not just in ST).

I'd say probably not; worse they could do is yell, but with sound insulation these days you could stage a re-enactment of the Battle of Gettysburg and not hear it inside. Worse comes to worse, just do ADR. Location shots might be more problematic, but I suspect the reason J.J. Abrams was at the picket lines Monday in front of Paramount was a bit of quid-pro-quo with the writers; he makes a show of support with them and they leave his movie alone.

Yes.
Yes.
Re: ‘Star Trek XI’ Begins Shooting Today
The problems created by strikers and picket lines are not primarily this kind of disruption, but the sympathy and often solidarity shown by people working on the productions.
There are actors, producers and other creative professionals choosing to honor the picket lines today, forcing an early suspension of production on a number of TV shows. It's impossible to say right now what turns the work stoppage will take over the next three months, regardless of anyone's stated intentions today.

I agree, I think they should shoot somewhere in northern Minnesota, somewhere that would be a quick drive for me.
Re: ‘Star Trek XI’ Begins Shooting Today
I was referring to the short-term, but long term that is a possibility. Even J.J. could simply say they're stopping if he wasn't blowing smoke Monday. This is, after Indiana Jones, Paramount's biggest production and if the WGA wants to have an impact against the studio, grinding this cash cow to a halt would be the biggest coup for the union.

Re: ‘Star Trek XI’ Begins Shooting Today
We're quite proud here of our geographical diversity. We like to brag that you can drive from a snowy moutaintop to a sun-drenched seashore in a couple of hours. Baywatch was filmed on SoCal beaches, M*A*S*H was filmed just a few miles away in the Santa Monica mountains. We've also got high and low deserts and everything else you can think of. Imported critters and plant life from around the world can always find a happy home somewhere between Ventura and the Mexican border. Starfleet Academy is a water treatment plant in Van Vuys. Cestus III, where Kirk fought the Gorn, is the aforementioned Vasquez Rocks. Putting the movie industry here was a pick from heaven.
Re: ‘Star Trek XI’ Begins Shooting Today
You're completely right. It would, of course, also have a huge negative impact on Abrams' ambitions and his career. And there's the sense of responsibility to all of the folks working on the film in myriad capacities which has to be weighed against his commitment to the writers' situation. It's certainly not a simple decision, and different people are making it differently. For the moment, Abrams is going forward with the movie.

Glad to hear that filming has begun. Looking forward to this film. :thumbsup:

Re: ‘Star Trek XI’ Begins Shooting Today
But the ONE thing that's certainly finished is the COSTUMES, so we should at least have our first look at what they're wearing on location before long.
The sets have a little more construction ahead of them, assuming THOSE unions don't decide to honor the WGA strike.Procutus said:
As much as I agree, I think it's going to be a spell before we see anything.
Then again, I could be wrong and there could be pix online by this weekend!

Good news, but it looks like I'm soon going to have to stop paying attention to Trek movie news. I hate spoilers!
Amen to that. It's been a long time since I didn't know the plot of a Trek movie in advance. I'm going to try to avoid as much as I can so that I'll be surprised by what I see. (hopefully).
Re: ‘Star Trek XI’ Begins Shooting Today
Logic got lost right in the middle of that paragraph.
If scabbing by the folks in charge causes the other unions to walk out and thus shut down the production, the guild has sure stopped something.
