Greeting's CBMers. First off, just note this video is not yet available in English. Once it is, I'm sure it'll be posted. But the video can still be viewed and the transcript for what he says in the video are posted below.
The app contains a video with previously seen clips interspersed with a distorted image of Cumberbatch’s Harrison. The Facebook app (and the videos) are also available in other languages (but not English) so this is part of the international marketing campaign. Unwilling to wait to see if an English version emerges, here is the first video (in Spanish)
"James Tiberius Kirk, the heart of the Enterprise. The overly-confident leader fueled by bravado. Life for him is one big adventure…but he is alone. Born in battle, heir to a legend. What does a man do with such a curse? He fears making a mistake that will get his entire crew killed. And I … I’ll make sure he does."
I'm sure as many of you had probably noticed as well- this marketing strategy is pretty similar to Warner Bros marketing campaign with General Zod's message to Superman and Earth.
-Trekmovie:
"This message seems to be something like a psychological profile of Kirk. Much of the talk about John Harrison is that he is a "master manipulator" who uses "psychological warfare." It also has a tinge of an intelligence briefing perhaps? In one of the trailers, Admiral Marcus is heard describing (presumably) Harrison as "one of our top agents" and JJ Abrams has described Harrison as someone from "within" Starfleet.
The app promises future messages for Spock and Uhura as well, so we will have to wait and see what Harrison has to say about them. We will update info on this campaign as it becomes available."
This should be interesting, more messages to come hopefully and as per an update from trekmovie-
UPDATE: English version available in Australia & New Zealand Only
There is an English-language (voiced by Cumberbatch) version of this new video, but unfortunately it is country-locked and only viewable in Australia and New Zealand (at Yahoo Australia and Yahoo New Zealand). TrekMovie expects the video to be available tomorrow after Yahoo has their one day exclusive.
So CBMers post your thoughts down below. Do you like Paramount's International marketing so far? Keep a steady eye out for tomorrow as the English version is made available!
