And the reason for Gold Pressed Latinum.. somewhat unbelievably the replicators can't create it, despite the fact they create stuff at a molecular level. Guess there must be a quantum quirk somewhere.


edit: Hmm.. wonder if that should be Quantum Quark?

Yeah it's the Latinum that's actually worth something because it can't be replicated. The golf element is worthless as it can be replicated and is merely used a medium to transport the latinum as the quantities of this are miniscule. The latinum is "pressed" into gold bars, giving them value.

Bah.

Paramount on Feb. 13 pushed its highly anticipated Star Trek movie to May 8, 2009, from an original Christmas 2008 release, to take advantage of the summer box-office season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Doesn't surprise me. Christmas releases are for toys, not films (except Christmas-themed films, obviously).

I think ST8 came out early Jan.

Hmm, that sucks.
Isn't this an odd numbered one? Think it'd be better off without the summer competition.

They broke that rule with Nemesis, so where we go from here is anyone's guess.

First photo is out. They look a little young but I can sorta see Spock and Kirk there. Just. Well, Spock and someone from Dawsons Creek.

Hmm, its a bit too polished for trek

This photo looks so ominous!
