"Star Trek" Remake Gets Sexy (VIDEO)

***SCROLL DOWN FOR TRAILER***

The eagerly anticipated Star Trek film is set to cast off the geeky associations of the sci-fi genre with a handsome cast, vicious fights and sex scenes.

The trailer for the new movie was released online on Monday, no doubt fuelling the excitement of Trekkies around the world ahead of the film's release next year.

The fast-paced, busy trailer include snippets of the childhoods of Captain James T Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto), lending an insight to the men they grow up to become.

The trailer starts with a speeding Corvette going through the desert being pursued by a mysterious driver on a hovering motorbike contraption.

[RenaissanceMom]

That looks sooo awesome lol.

[chronic]

I cant wait!!!!

[funkulous]

Remember Marta (Yvonne Craig), the green, Orion slave girl from the original Star Trek? Still yummy after all these years.

[Ponderus]

Is that Spock under him?

[DALLASDAN]

Speaking of LGBT, I thought that was Ellen DeGeneres reenacting the end of "Thelma and Louise"

[rextrek]

while I love StarTrek - they've Never shown a Gay person/or relationship...and Im sure LGBT people will always exist..even 3-400yrs from now...

[FrankenPC]

That's a really good point. I guess the utopia envisioned by Roddenberry couldn't have included LGBT's because the right wingers would never have allowed it. And now that Star Trek is set in stone (lore wise), no one is willing to freak out the fan base with a change in tack? I don't know.

[leevntheus]

Don't ask, don't tell in space don't ya know. Besides, aren't all the Borg gay? LOL

[leevntheus]

Oh yeah, and don't forget Whoopee.

In a 1991 interview with The Humanist, Roddenberry promised that in the upcoming fifth season of TNG gay crew members would appear on the show (The Advocate). However, Roddenberry died soon after his interview, and gay crew members never appeared.

Other stars of the franchise chimed in, with Leonard Nimoy (who played Spock) offering his support in a 1991 letter to the Los Angeles Times: "It is entirely fitting that gays and lesbians will appear unobtrusively aboard the Enterprise...."

[BlackJAC]

Was that the "Blood and Fire" episode that David Gerrold wrote?

[kothian1]

Wasn't there a lesbian relationship in one of the sequel series? DS9 I think. Terry Farrell perhaps?. Not enough of a Trekker to know the details....Lost interest during TNG.

[BlackJAC]

It was a relationship only in the sense that their previous hosts had been heterosexual husband and wife and there was still some unresolved feelings from hubby dying in a shuttle crash. It was taboo in their species not because it was now lesbian but because they were trying to rekindle something that had officially ended.

[chi01]

wow, it looks Craptastic, why not just make Klingon porn already?

[vansgirl12]

i agree with the crap part. i hate to say it but i think it's already been done: http://www.boingboing.net/2004/04/28/nekkid-klingon-babes.html

Star Trek says that we made it past the neo-con version of America and the world. Science won out over dogma in time.

The Ignorantti did not win.

[BlackJAC]

Unfortunately it took a nuclear war to do it.

[leevntheus]

I seem to recall it required the end of "money". Electronic debits will suffice from single government bank.

Make Taoism the Authorized World State Philosophy.

Make all energy production and distribution PUBLIC PROPERTY. As well as change building code to require all new dwellings be energy self sufficient.

ALL the wealth saved by these measures as well as the change in organizational discipline will allow society to focus on building our future on other planets of our solar system and galaxy.

The children of StarTrek have grown up to inherit this earth. Let's change it.

[BlackJAC]

I think it had more to do with the invention of the replicator. Why need money when you can just replicate whatever you need in your living room?

[protagonia]

Earth is one of the nicest planets around - even still.

We have not done her in yet.

Well... sexuality has always been part of Star Trek from the beginning. Even the original pilot (the one where women wore pants and the transporter chief wore coke-bottle spectacles!) there were undertones of sexuality in the Captain's relationship to Vina, and to his female crewmates (which the Talosians kindly hung a bit of a lampshade on, I suppose, but still).

But sex scenes in Hollywood movies have become blase, really. I don't really want to see Star Trek going down that path any further than it has. I suppose we'll have to see what they do in the movie, maybe it's too soon to pass judgement. After all, the trailier will naturally contain the scenes deemed the sexiest in the movie, both literally and figurative. I'm drooling over the starship battle scenes, myself. :)

[Badbone]

The movie is going backwards, not forwards, if it features, "handsome cast, vicious fights and sex scenes."

Check out Picard. Sexy? According to any geek girl I've ever dated, hell yes. Sisco? Ditto. Janeway, yep. How'd you like to get taught a few new tricks by that older woman?

The difference between the above and this movie is, the above were subtly sexy. Not pretty-boy in your face sexy. It's just more crass comercialism.

[FirstShirt]

Remember the original TV series? Sexuality was in the imagination and Kirk's innuendo. Now it must take time for the alloted graphics. How sad.

[KennyFox]

Did I see the Kraken in this video?

[chaos4700]

Heh. Yeah, I heard they offered that role to the sarlacc from the Star Wars movies, but she turned it down. ;)

[ftrobaugh]

The bra looks awfully retro. Wouldn't designers make SOME progress in 200 years?

[formerprosecutor]

How disappointing to know we are still strapped into those thingsin the future (and that bra looks retro NOW)

[jood42]

Some day there will be little anti-grav capsules or pads or something. Oh GOD why haven't they been invented yet?

[DanHasSpoken]

I don't remember James T Kirk having such a wonderfully flat stomach.
