Hey i am a fan of ILM as much as i hate what Lucas has done to star wars and indiana jones.
I generally enjoyed those dumb pirates of the carribean films and the work they put into them, I even have john knoll's star wars book,lol.
I will totally eat up the visual eye candie and i am dying to get my hands on the eventrual trek issues of cinefex and american cinematographer 2 of my fave magazines.
The cinefex issue for the first trek film goes for a lot of money, and unlike the star wars fans i don't think there is someone scanning these issues and digitally preserving them. If someone would do what starwarsachives did, for Indiana Jones and Star Trek i would be so totally happy.
I think someone on these boards was it digitalfreaknyc said that maybe someday he would put out the Indiana Jones articles. Then nothing came of it which is unfortunate.
Well here i go off topic again,lol.
By the way despite all the changes to the characters, their histories and the Canon their is no way the new Trek film can ever be as bad as nemesis. The effects on that movie were poorly done in comparison to what ILM had done on first contact. ILM should have been used on Insurrection and Nemesis, I think they even built a model for first contact's enterprise E even though most of the work by then was cgi.
The enterprise attacking the borg cube at the beginning of the film was just a wonder to behold in theaters.
Too bad we won't get a real sendoff for the tng crew like the original series crew did at the end of trek VI.
TNG went out with a wimper and not with a Bang. Not even the reflective somberness of VI.
Stewart was so totally not pleased with Nemesis that he vowed from what i read to never play Captain Picard again. Only Brent Spiner was at the time looking forward to a sequel to nemesis as he had an idea for an 11th movie where data comes back in the form of b4. Such a bad idea to first rip off wrath of khan then rip off the search for spock.
Patrick Stewart decided to Put Trek behind him and be Professor Charles Xavier in the X-men franchise.
Now even that is a gone by thing.
