‘Star Trek’ fans were overcome with excitement when the first photos from the set of ‘Star Trek 2’ leaked online a few days ago. (I don’t know about you, but I was overcome with giddiness!) Now we actually have some film footage of that fight scene between Zachary Quinto’s Spock and his nemesis Benedict Cumberbatch!
We still don’t know what connection Cumberbatch’s character has to Star Fleet or to the Enterprise crew but we do know he is a baddie. From the video, we can surmise he must be more than human as he’s holding his own in the fight with Spock. Of course this isn’t the angle the actual movie camera is shooting at, but you get the gist of the scene. Since this is raw footage, you’ll just have to use your imagination as to how the fight would look once the green screen and visual effects are inserted.
But that’s not all Trekkies, as more set photos have been leaked over the last couple days from the same fight scene which you can see below. Included are pictures of Zoe Saldana in action, Cumberbatch and Quinto with their stunt doubles and even a photo of Abrams at work.
Someone with an eagle eye noticed the camera equipment from one of the photos and it looks like some of the scenes will be shot in IMAX. What does that mean to the average movie goer? Well, it means that the movie will be available to be viewed in an IMAX format as well as 3D (Abrams has already stated that he will post convert the movie into 3D). Audiences will get to choose which format will give them a more inclusive feel of the film. There are pros and cons for each format especially with the large amount of CGI expected to be used in the movie. Either way, it looks like the experience of watching ‘Star Trek 2’ has just been raised a notch.

I personally just found out a couple days ago that Star Trek 2 was filming, and became completely overjoyed. I could not stop smiling. I am beyond excited for this sequel.
The 2009 reboot goes down as one of my top 10 movies. Everything about it was spectacular, from the acting to the plot.. Eric Bana killed as "Nero". And thinking about the original characters, I honestly don't believe they could have cast the roles better. Quinto, Pine, Cho, Pegg.. Amazing choices.
I will admit, I am worried. I hope they can top the first, or atleast make it as good. I would hate to see this sequel flop. But so far, so good.
