"He is just as intelligent and logical as Spock, but is also one very bad mother***er," franchise star Chris Pine adds.[/b]

Let's hope they don't let Chris Pine write the movie tag line! Lol

Well, I think there is little doubt this is an Augment story at this point.

It looks that way. I don't care really, as long as its a GOOD story.

Is it an augment story or has the story been augmented?  :P

No doubt, Mary Shelley has nothing on the JJverse.  ???

This is both a sad and uplifting story at the same time.  It seems an avid Trek fan who is sadly dying of leukemia is going to get his wish to see the new movie early (even in a rough cut form).  It's likely he won't be with us come May and a friend made a post on Reddit about his dying wish to see the film.  This is what Star Trek is all about.

That's cool. Good for them to do this.

Here's an update on the story about screening a rough cut of the film for the fan who is not well.  They did have a screening and the man's wife has issued a statement to some select folks including Anthony over at Trekmovie.com.  This is really an amazing and awesome story.

Hi everyone, it's Daniel's wife, we are of course sworn to secrecy, BUT we are officially allowed to say we saw it and we enjoyed it IMMENSELY as a film and as a gesture...However; Daniel 'hates' being an 'inspiring cancer story' we his friends and loved ones would prefer for the update to have more of a heartfelt message of giving, especially during this season:

This is a story of us giving something to him, the 'internet' community giving something to him and ultimately being a heartwarming gift to our friends, family and so many others. This story of us (and of course JJ Abrams & Bad Robot) being able to give this surprise gift of a screening to a huge movie buff like Daniel, especially a film made by a film maker who obviously makes movies with such care, with a fan like Daniel in mind (and a person like me who knows slightly less about these things). Also, it was truly amazing that a film-maker so secretive as JJ Abrams was kind enough to show this to us.

It is also so wonderful for his friends & his family to finally hear some good news from us, They know how important film is to Daniel & could not think of a better way to please to him. So this gesture really has brought a lot of smiles all around.

It was a wonderful thing to see with Daniel and a wonderful thing to see Daniel enjoy – Making someone as ill as he is smile for any length of time really makes a difference. (At this point making me smile is good too)

This is also so poignant as JJ Abrams took so much care in the first Star Trek movie to at least TRY to get everything 'right' for the fans and we were so touched when he was concerned that we wouldn't 100% enjoy the screening as it's still being worked on.......Be assured we enjoyed it 110%! We are so grateful thank you, thank you, thank you.....

New spoilers from a new synopsis: [spoiler]
With Earth under terrorist attack from Benedict Cumberbatch's ex-Starfleet employee John Harrison, Kirk is this time forced into a rash decision that breaks a critical Starfleet command, puts his crew in danger & costs him his captain's chair. Now out of uniform and dressed down in space civvies of black leather jackets and boots, our three heroes have separated from the Enterprise and headed off on a mission to try and rectify his mistake...[/spoiler]

Interesting, I was wondering what was up with all that black leather.

Very interesting, and contnues to perpetuate the mystery surrounding "Who is John Harrison?".

[Meds]

He gets the chair, he loses the chair. First impression of that is Meh! ;)

[Bryancd]

Sounds like Kirk in the Prime Universe! Captain, Admiral, back to acting Captain, busted to civilian, back to Captain.

[Rico]

Yep - that's our Captain Kirk!  :)
