Possible ARG and start of viral marketing campaign for new STAR TREK movie

I'm surprised no one brought this up by now. Along with the official release of the Star Trek teaser today a new website came up: www.ncc-1701.com

It's linked via paramount.com/startrek if you click on the small red dot next to "UNDER CONSTUCTION".

STAR TREK is made by JJ Abrams and because of the ARGs for LOST and Cloverfield I think it's save to assume we get one for STAR TREK. Could this be the start?

Every time you visit the site 3 different of the cameras are working. The last one will show you also a picture, but you have to be patient and it only appears for a second.

wahoo! Very Happy i'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but i figured out:

You will can "tune" in three of the four cameras.. and when you hit refresh, you can get the last camera (but one of the others are "offline" at all times)


Camera #1 slider at 564 =100%
Camera #2 slider at 125 = 100%
Camera #3 slider at 955 = 100%
Camera #4 slider at 289 = 100%


logical. Wink

nice looking man, welding something.. with a shadowy figure in the background/just off camera.

That's not what I meant. Just watch the defunct camera for a few minutes. At some moment you get some sort of sound and then you get briefly the image of a corridor.

been watching for a while.. nothing happens to the offline camera for me.


I do see there are nine separate videos...

one called static-only.flv , and two each for the four cameras: each clip labeled as either "normal" or "distorted".

You can see the corridor image here in the 'Update 2' section. It appears only very briefly on the offline cam after several minutes.

Anyone have any guess on what the numbers might mean... if anything?

sweet! Given JJ's seeming love for extended reality for his IP, I was hoping and expecting and eagerly looking for something with Star Trek Very Happy

Good. Now I can get off the cloverfield forum. It's full of IMDB trolls anyway now.

pre-emptive strike Razz - I've set up a wiki for this (and what I hope is something good and honouring to the ARG genre)

yeah, not much to add yet, but it's there Smile

at the very least, it's an interesting advertising campaign. could be viral if it wasn't so obvious.
