Some say CLOVERFIELD only made $40 million on it’s opening U.S. weekend because it played with the debut of the first STAR TREK teaser trailer.
And although I’ve always disputed that claim if QUANTUM OF SOLACE opens massively this weekend, then I think it’s safe to say J.J. Abrams has got the geeks chomping at the bit for Trek XI and he may well after all just have enough of a legion of fans to make good on Paramount’s huge $150 million investment.
Trek Movie have what they call “the facts” regarding the trailer which you can see now in the U.S. playing with some prints of QUANTUM OF SOLACE (reports from screenings say not all cinema’s were showing it).
- Features voice-overs of Bruce Greenwood (Pike) and Ben Cross (Sarek)
- Music is not from the Michael Giacchino score, but edited by Giacchino from Brian Tyler’s score for Children of Dune
- New USS Enterprise is seen (in construction on land and in space), but the recently released USS Enterprise image is not from the trailer
- Will be available at apple.com and startrekmovie.com Monday morning at 10AM
- Will be featured on Entertainment Tonight Monday evening
- Trailer for Watchmen also premiering with Quantum of Solace
We previously linked to the very spoilerific description HERE.
One wonders, with all the great music they must have in the TREK fault, why they chose to use a score that has nothing to do with the series.
Anyway if you see the trailer or a link to the bootlegged version, make sure you let us know.

Cloverfield did that well because of hype and great marketing. The average movie goer, the biggest percentage of people who see films, don’t go to see one because of some trailer. That’s absolute stupid not think that. Anyway, here are some links I found…

I’m not really a fan of Star Trek and don’t know much about it outside pop culture references and the existence of various shows.
Karl Urban looks strangely awkward in that picture.
I have never watched an episode of Star Trek in my life but that trailer was worth seeing a terrible bond movie for. I will be first in line opening night in May.
