Klingons Cut From Final Star Trek XI Movie

darthcamaro writes "Classic era trek was all about Kirk kicking the Klingons' tails. But the new Star Trek XI movie, the reboot, will not have any spoken Klingon in it — a travesty that has some fan sites up in arms already. 'We actually had a sequence that ended up getting cut from the movie that took place on Rura Penthe, in a Klingon prison,' Star Trek co-writer Alex Kurtzman said, explaining the deletion.

    Dear Mr Caution,
    I represent a large conglomeration of pharmacautical companies that have patented this idea as of 5 minutes ago.
    By presenting this concept on a forum you have stolen their Intellectual Property and are thus guilty of piracy. Claims that you posted before the time of our patent application have no bearing in this case as our law firm is bigger than your law firm.
    We are seeking restitution for loss of profits ($1.37), Lawyer's fees ($500,000) and contributiry damages of $5,000 per person that has read, or may have read your post. To this end we require you to procure from Slashdot a full list of members including User ID, Ip address, home address, social security number and mother's maiden name and forward this list to us no later than 5 minutes after receipt of this message.
    Failure to comply with this letter will result in us having you tagged as a terrorist sympathiser by our well-paid lackies on the Department of Homeland Security, taken out the back and shot.
    It goes without saying of course, that should you discuss the contents of this letter with anyone else, especially another lawyer, we will poison your dog.

    Have a nice day,
    Gougem, Scalpem and Ripemoff,
