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.

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.
