Early Twitter Buzz: Star Trek Has Secret Premiere In Austin
Paramount pulled a MASSIVE bait and switch with tonight’s Alamo Drafthouse’s screening ofWrath of Kahnon Monday night. The announced line-up included some never before seen footage fromJJ AbramsStar Trekfollowed byStar Trek II: Wrath of Kahn. Guess what… They didn’t showKahnat all… The Austin Texas audience because the first audience to see the entire new Star Trek film.Leonard Nimoy, Damon Lindelof, Alex KurtzmanandBob Orciwere in attandance. I’m so jealous! So what is the early reaction? Lets go to the Twitters….
bosmon:holy sh** we just saw world premiere of new #StarTrekand it’s AWESOME
jaireaux: I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The cast is superb, the story is compelling, the action is exciting, and Abrams even avoids any blatant cheesy “winks” about his reboot. If Star Trek is the bluebird of the summer movie season, then we are in for a great ride.
chinesedentist:says OMG I just got back fromStarTrekand it was AMAZING. The bestStarTrekmovie ever. Yes, it even bests Wrath of Khan. Believe me.
wipeout:Any old StatTreknerds out there who are troubled, calm down, all is right with the newStarTrekmovie of which I approve.
