Third Star Trek Trailer Announced
Source: Paramount Pictures
February 10, 2009


Paramount Pictures announced today that a third trailer for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek is planned to be in theaters starting on Friday, March 6th with Watchmen.

The trailer, which features brand new footage, will also be online on Apple.com Trailers in HD starting on the morning of 3/9 and thereafter on the official site.

Fourth trailer.

Maybe they don't count the teaser as a trailer.

Yeah, it's a technicality.  And actually, they reworked the second trailer for a TV spot after it came out too - prior to the Superbowl ad.  But, I myself consider that first trailer of the Enterprise being built as a teaser trailer.  So it's still a trailer to me.  Even if it's just a tease.   ;)

I've always wondered why they are called 'trailers' when they are shown BEFORE a movie!   ???

In the old days, they were shown in movie theaters after the main movie played, which gave them the name trailer.  But since many people leave theaters before all the credits roll they started to show them before the film.  Sometimes under those circumstances they are just called previews.  But in general, the name trailer still sticks.

Aha! That's been bugging me for a long time. Thanks!  :)

Make sure to watch MTV this coming weekend for a show called "Spoilers."  It's airing here at 8pm EST on Sat. night.  This show is suppose to have a lot on the new "Watchmen" film and some new Trek stuff too with maybe some new footage.  Read on below:

This weekend's "Spoilers" show on MTV will focus on the movie Watchmen, opening March 6th (with a new Star Trek trailer). MTV taped their "Spoilers" show at a theater in LA showing an early preview, where they also showed footage from a number of other films, including Star Trek. To jazz up the Star Trek part of the show, MTV invited TNG's Wil Wheaton to the event. Tonight MTV Segment producer Vanessa White blogged about how they got Wil on board and what it was like:

    ...we wanted a "Star Trek" expert to weigh in on a few shots we'd be showing in our exclusive featurette. I emailed our senior online producer, Brian, a huge "Trek" fan, to see if he could think of any LA-based experts to invite on the show. He immediately suggested "Stand By Me" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation" star Wil Wheaton...

    ...when we got to the "Star Trek" segment, co-host Tim Kash headed over to conduct the interview. Wil was fantastic - hilarious, totally gave great insight on a few questions we had, and also alluded to a little Kirk/Uhura offscreen romance way back when. The audience was psyched to see him and I truly believe his appearance is going to be a big highlight in this already fantastic episode.

And for his part, Wheaton blogged today about the event. His post is mostly about Watchmen (which was shown in full at the event), but he also briefly discussed the Star Trek segment of the show

    After all that, they showed the Star Trek thing. It was mostly stuff we've already seen, but the geeks (including me) were excited about it. Their host asked me some questions about the movie, and I thought I got in one comment about myself that was stupid, one about the movie that was insightful, and another that was humorous.

To see Wheaton and the new 'stuff' from Star Trek, tune in to Spoilers this Saturday at 8pm EST on MTV. And if you miss the show, it should be available online after it airs. TrekMovie will bring you the video when it is available.

I was told something entirely different when I was working for a cinema. When assembling a movie before showing there is a large amount of non-used film called leader that's used to thread the movie. Trailer follows the leader so that any adjustments to the frame can be done without the feature already starting. I've also heard the one about it coming about because they were at the end of a movie, but for me that never made sense because the window in which it was supposed to have happen wasn't that large and it just made more sense as a technical term that stuck around. Either way, it's still odd that it still is called a trailer.

I just had a strange thought.  I know part of the new movie is set at the academy.  Wouldn't it be funny if Finnegan made a brief appearance in the movie.

[Rico]

I'd really love to see Finnigan.  It's a distinct possibility I think.
