It looks like some of us will have another reason to stand in line for Cloverfield on opening day. We get the scoop today from the mouth of Cloverfield director Matt Reeves thanks to our friends at MTV Movies Blog:
“Cloverfield” director Matt Reeves has told MTV News that Paramount has picked his monster flick as the venue to unveil the “Trek” trailer. There isn’t much more to report on that front, but Reeves did say that he’s seen the teaser and that it’s “awesome.”
I love Star Trek, I always have and I always will. It is a future that I want, and I hope we follow in the footsteps Gene Roddenberry has made with his imagination. Few things have disappointed me more in life than the lack of an awesome movie for the TNG cast. I was fond if Enterprise but It was cancelled just as it started to really find itself. Recent history is rife with Trek letdowns.
The franchise has been underachieving for sometime and as a result, my life is full of sorrow.
Like an abused animal, I cower, and approach this upcoming Star Trek film with a lack of trust. I am less than enthused about the “Trek the college years” angle, and no net news to date has caused my skepticism to subside. There are times where I hope I am wrong however, and this is one of them. I was going to see Cloverfield anyway, but this trailer addition is a solid bonus. A good trailer does not guarantee a good film, but it may renew excitement in my pessimistic bones.
Cloverfield and the Trek trailer may be seen opening day, Jan 18.
