Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer Debuts December 14th & The First Nine Minutes To Be Shown In IMAX

Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer Debuts December 14th & The First Nine Minutes To Be Shown In IMAX

The full bore press frenzy has yet to start for J.J. Abrams's Star Trek Into Darkness, but we are starting to see an upswing in news. It seems that not only will the film's first theatrical trailer debut December 14th with The Hobbit, but the first nine minutes of the film will be shown at IMAX theaters. I gotta say, I don't think we'll be going to see the short preview. I'm one of those guys that doesn't enjoy spoilers... of course they're hard to escape when you run a Trek site. I've tried my best to avoid news for films like The Dark Knight Rises and Skyfall and have been mildly successful, with Into Darkness though, it will definitely prove to be more difficult.

Star Trek Style Universal Translator Fast Approaching. Qapla'!

Ok, so I would have translated that whole title into Klingon, but my language skills suck so bad that I’m pretty sure a targ could write Klingon better than I. Anyway…how cool is it that we’re one step closer to a real universal translator? And this step…is a doozy.

Microsoft recently showed off new technology that, not only translates your spoken word into another language in real time, but also makes the voice of the translated version sound very much like the actual speaker’s voice.

Remembering Gene Roddenberry... August 19, 1921 – October 24, 1991

Remembering Gene Roddenberry... August 19, 1921 – October 24, 1991

Today is a day I remember well. I was 16 years old and an avid Star Trek fan. It was one of those moments that we all have... knowing exactly where we were when we learn of something tragic. Some time, late in the evening of October 24th, 1991, I was incessantly flipping cable channels until I stumbled upon a news story about Gene. Like so many Trek fans, I was saddened to hear of his passing. While I don't have any personal memories of Gene, he influenced and touched my life in many different ways and I wish I had had the opportunity to thank him.
