With the impending release of "Star Trek: Nemesis" drawing nearer with every passing day, there's going to be an increase in the flow of rumors, images, trailers and clips from the tenth Star Trek feature film.

Paramount Publicity has released the first publicity still photograph from the film, to whet the appetites of the fans. Displaying the familiar TNG characters Data (Brent Spiner), Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) and Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in the foreground and Worf (Michael Dorn) with Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) in the background, the still takes place on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise-E.

"Star Trek: Nemesis" features all of the aforementioned TNG regulars, along with Gates McFadden ("Beverly Crusher") and Marina Sirtis ("Deanna Troi"). The film also features some special cameos from some familiar faces such as Whoopi Goldberg ("Guinan"), Kate Mulgrew ("Kathryn Janeway") and Wil Wheaton ("Wesley Crusher") plus some new villains played by Tom Hardy and Ron Perlman.

The film is scheduled for release later this year in the holiday season.

Kate Mulgrew, Wil Wheaton and Whoopi Goldberg will make cameo appearances in their familiar roles as Kathryn Janeway, Wesley Crusher and Guinan for "Star Trek: Nemesis," the tenth Star Trek feature film which is currently in production.

"Nemesis" producer Rick Berman made this confirmation during an interview for the latest issue of the U.K.'s Star Trek Monthly magazine. He said that the appearances came about because they were called for in the screenplay.

"John Logan, who wrote the script, very much wanted Kate to portray an admiral that we had and Kate was delighted to do it," Berman said. Plus, "We have a wedding in the movie and guests at the wedding include Wil Wheaton and Whoopi Goldberg."

The wedding in question is between Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes). In the interview Berman also confirmed that Majel Barrett Roddenberry will not reprise her role as Deanna's mother, Lwaxana Troi, in this movie. "There's a plot point I don't want to give away, but there's a reason," he said.

Principal photography on the tenth Star Trek film, "Star Trek: Nemesis," is approximately halfway done on the Paramount Pictures lot. The main cast has completed most of the scenes taking place on the Enterprise-E bridge, and are currently scheduled for shots in miscellaneous ship sets such as the Ready Room, the corridors, the Jefferies Tubes and the Turbolift. In February, the bulk of the shooting will take place in Romulan and Reman sets, including the ship controlled by Shinzon, the villain referenced in the movie's title.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES ANNOUNCES "STAR TREK: NEMESIS"
BEGINS PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY

HOLLYWOOD, December 11, 2001 — "Star Trek: Nemesis" has begun principal photography, filming primarily on soundstages and locations in Southern California. The fourth motion picture featuring the cast of the Emmy-winning television series Star Trek: The Next Generation created by Gene Roddenberry, "Star Trek: Nemesis" is produced by Rick Berman and directed by Stuart Baird. The screenplay is written by Oscar®-nominated John Logan ("Gladiator" and the 2002 release "The Time Machine") from a story by Logan & Berman & Brent Spiner. Marty Hornstein serves as executive producer and unit production manager, Peter Lauritson serves as co-producer and Jeffrey L. Kimball ("Mission Impossible 2") is director of photography. Paramount Pictures is part of the entertainment operations of Viacom Inc.

Reprising their starring roles as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Commander William T. Riker), Brent Spiner (Lieutenant Commander Data), LeVar Burton (Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Worf), Gates McFadden (Commander Beverly Crusher, Chief Medical Officer), and Marina Sirtis (Lieutenant Commander Deanna Troi, Counselor).

On their way to celebrate the wedding of First Officer Will Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise crew are suddenly diverted for an unexpected diplomatic mission to the planet Romulus. Longtime enemies of the Federation, the Romulans have expressed their desire to initiate negotiations that will hopefully lead to a long-awaited unity in the galaxy. But upon their arrival on Romulus, the Enterprise crew is faced with a threat that could lead to the destruction of the planet Earth, and Picard comes face to face with a man who may prove to be his most dangerous adversary yet … and surprisingly personal nemesis.

Stuart Baird previously directed the political thriller "Executive Decision" starring Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal, as well as the follow-up to the Academy Award®-winning "The Fugitive," "U.S. Marshals" starring Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes. Producer Rick Berman continues to guide the Star Trek universe after producing "Star Trek Generations," "Star Trek: First Contact" and "Star Trek: Insurrection." He was executive producer of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the co-creator/executive producer of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Berman is also currently producing the "prequel" series Enterprise, which he co-created as well.
