For any rare Star Trek fans on this board, check this out: moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/10/15/exclusive-new-star-trek-movie-photo-with-kirk-spock-sulu-and-the-uss-enterprise-bridge/Some pictures from the movie. Here's some info on the 'bridge' picture: - The set you see in the photo is the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and not a training room. - When asked why Kirk was wearing black instead of the standard yellow captain’s shirt, Lindelof said that the black uniform is “significant” to the story surrounding this scene. - It’s no coincidence that Kirk and Sulu are looking a bit ragged in this scene, and Lindelof hinted that they may have been involved in a fight. - Abrams was insistent that every piece of equipment on the bridge serve a legitimate purpose — that they all have “functionality.” According to Lindelof, the maps we see in the background near the top of the communications desk were based on the generally accepted layout of the Star Trek universe. - While Lindelof said the “red shirt” crew member we see in the photo isn’t significant herself, fans can make some predictions about other crew members wearing that fateful color. - Finally, Lindelof confirmed our previous MTV report that the “Star Trek” running time would be two hours. Abrams also comments on the Shatner/Abrams feud. They seemed to try and force a cameo by Shatner in this new movie but couldn't come up with a way to do it. I could think of a way but it would involve a Next Generation character (Q).

costarring Karl "Badass" Urban Hell yeah! Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, and John Cho? I don't even like Star Trek but I'm going to see it because of them.

It has an interesting cast, I'll give you that. But so far in the annuls of moviedom, prequels suck. And from what I have heard of this new movie, Abrams and Company essentially retcon everything Gene Rodenberry created. Now, I am no Trekkie, but I have to say Roddenberry was a frickin' genius while Abrams hasn't been able to make anything I have been able to say the same about (all I am saying is that Lost better end amazing or I will be pissed!).
I mean, Kirk wasn't the first captain of the Enterprise, that was Pike, as explained in the pilot WAY back in the 60's. So I don't understand the young crew. And the Area 51 thing is really annoying to me.

I'm hardly a Star Trek fan, but I'm a big JJ Abrams fan, and am very interested in watching Zachary Quinto's career take off. I'm definitely seeing this.

Meh, this is a possibility for me really. I was never a Star Trek fan but I like J.J. Abrams.

I have to be honest...it looks bad. I'll go see it because of Pegg but that photo looks ridiculous.
