While filming of the scene where Picard,
Worf, and Data find B4's arm on Kolarus III, the people
controlling the hand played a little joke and made B4's
hand give Patrick Stewart the finger. |
|
|
|
It took 9 hours to shoot the memory
download scene where the camera goes from B4, over top of
B4 and Data, and down to Data. |

For the first time in
Star Trek, The Enterprise E
bridge was built on a gimble so it would physically shake
the set. However, the first space battle scene on the
bridge (just prior to Shinzon's visit to Picard's ready
room) was shot prior to the gimble's construction, so it
was done the old fashioned way (shaking the camera while
the actors move). |

|
Bryan Singer (X-Men movie
director and writer) has a cameo in the movie: he replaces
Worf at Tactical when Worf goes to meet the Reman boarding
party. See pic

Although most of the movie's SFX were CGI,
the crash scene was created using 40-foot models of the
Enterprise and Scimitar. The footage from the models
colliding was then digitally enhanced to give the final
product. |

B4's name in the original version of the
script was B9. |

Midway during shooting, the captain's chair
from the bridge set disappeared, apparently stolen. While
the film crew scrambled to find a way to work around the
problem, the "Enterprise"
cast and crew shooting in the soundstages next door
decided to have a little fun at their franchise-mate's
expense: Scott Bakula visited Patrick Stewart's trailer to
present him with a makeshift wooden "replacement" chair
with the letters K-A-P-T-I-N painted on it. |
|
|
|
Jeri Ryan was originally going to have a
cameo in the movie, but she was unavailable due to
shooting Boston Public. Kate Mulgrew was then given a
cameo role. |

The Reman make-up was inspired by the
vampire Nosferatu. |

Ashley Judd was to have a cameo
in an early version of the script,
reprising her role as Ensign Lefler, from the
Star Trek The Next Generation episodes: "The
Game" and "Darmok". |
|
|
|
Jonathon Frakes refused to shave his back
for the love scene, so the hair was removed digitally. |
|
|
|
Wil Wheaton was ecstatic
to reprise his role as Wesley Crusher for the wedding
scene. In the end, his scene was cut, and he was not
informed of the change. In fact, he was not even
invited to the premiere of the movie. His scene was
later included in the Collector's Edition release of the
movie as a deleted scene. |

Star Trek Nemesis is the
lowest grossing film in the Star Trek franchise. |

the Enterprise scenes were shot, the set was refurbished
to meet the needs. |

The Enterprise-E observation lounge is an
extensive redress of the Enterprise-D Observation lounge
as seen on Star Trek:

console were refurbished for the third season of
Enterprise, and the
set as a whole was restored to its "Next Generation"
appearance in the
Enterprise series finale. |

The farewell scene in Picard's ready room,
near the end of the movie, had to be re-shot after Patrick

The "stylus" prop Captain Picard uses
