Star Trek Wraps March 27, 2008

by Anthony Pascale ,
Filed under: Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback

141 days after he declared eactionf for the first time, JJ Abrams has wrapped principal photography for his Star Trek movie. This comes in pretty much on the original schedule (although a couple of weeks earlier than the revised schedule). The 20-week shoot is long, but actually comes in 2nd place for the franchise behind the 24 week shoot of the last eepicf scale Trek film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

In his recent interview with TrekMovie.com, produer Damon Lindelof stated that shooting would go until mid April. TrekMovie.com asked co-writer and executive producer Bob Orci how it is already finished and he replied

Well we always add a few weeks for the studio, just in case. This is a lesson we learned from Scottycthis way we can appear like miracle workers.

At closing of shooting today on the Paramount lot JJ Abrams gave out gifts to the cast and crew and made speech thanking everyone.

Although ewrappedf there is still some shooting going on. There are some 2nd unit shots (scenes without Abrams and principal cast) to go. Next week JJ Abrams is off to Tokyo for the Japanese premiere of Cloverfield and when he comes back there will be some epick-up shotsf with some of the actors (stuff they missed, different angles, etc).

On to post production
Of course due to the move of the release date to May 2009, Star Trekfs 407 days will be the longest post-production period for any Trek film. The next big step for the film is in the hands of the two editors Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey. ILM are already at work on the visual effects, but they will now be increasing their efforts. Even though the filmfs release was moved back 4 1/2 months, plans are for the film to stick with the original schedule for the most part, with some epadding.f This means the film could be completed months before the releasecso Paramount better lock up that vault tight.

It's better than what happened with TMP. Robert Wise taking the still wet film reels with him for the Premiere.
What is the terror of death?
That we die, our work incomplete.
What is the joy of life?
To die knowing our task is done.

Wait, so is it actually filmed then, and finished? Thats pretty quick... I refuse to believe that the filming takes less time than the cutting?

From what I've been reading, there was a lot of Green Screen Filming done.
Which means that they're working on the SFX now.
