That's a bit of a 'Sylar' pose from Spock there. Looks wicked!

Im not a Star Trek fan what so ever but damn these pictures have got me excited to see the movie, looking forward to that trailer.

Im not a huge fan of star trek, i wish i wouldve been though… especially from the beginning. I cant wait to see this movie and these pics look hella nice!

Oh god no, I was worried before but now… ..dear god no.

Rewriting Startrek Lore and Cannon?
Did they learn nothing from Enterprise?

You know, now not even having Simon Pegg in it is enough to make me want to watch this. Well done Abrams, your actually worse than Berman, at least he just messed up the time line pre-TOS!

OH MY. I am a trekkie and am having heart attack.

Flavio on Oct 15, 2008

haha, that's a bit too much like Sylar…

the bridge picture looks great… also, these all look so colorful.

can't wait for trailer, i think jj abrams will do a great job with this

Andy on Oct 15, 2008

These pics look great! I hope this flick kicks ass! Being a life long fan of "Star Trek" and it's many spin-offs, I'm really looking forward to this flick. By the way, I sure hope we get a William Shatner cameo—at least as a flashback!

I am not impressed. The new crew looks horrible. The movie is going to stink, just like the last Star Trek movie. Wait for the DVD

crabby on Oct 15, 2008

high budget movies these days are more intelligent and, for want of a better description, more better.

I agree with #2 - wow.

This will be a good movie.

I am not a Star Trek fan, I just leave comments on Star Trek Fan sites. I am not a Mac Fan. I just spam Apple news on every website that talks about Apple

Gee on Oct 15, 2008

20

Yep… this look really bad with the crew so young…

I remember the 200 episode of STARGATE SG-1 with the scene where they remake stargate with a younger, hipper crew… i fear this is the movie…

yeah couldn't agree more on Oct 15, 2008

21

My girlfriend loves star trek so thanks for the article, cant wait to see the movie.

Wes on Oct 15, 2008

22

Ahahaha
This looks awesome..
but.
Is that Simon Pegg?
lol
I LOVE THAT GUY!
He's probably going to be the funny one..
if not i will be dissapointed..
He has the best humor ever!

Blake B on Oct 15, 2008

When was the last time you saw a movie starring a bunch of teens that was actually good. Spok and Kirk in diapers is a horrid idea, which hollywood movie producer thought that would be a good idea?

neoky on Oct 15, 2008

24

The Enterprise does not require a metrosexual crew, but it seems Hollywood does.

Leandro on Oct 15, 2008

wtf is star trek? is it anything like star wars?

Drew on Oct 15, 2008

Man, I had my hopes up considering JJ was directing it… but this crew has me worried. I guess we'll find out soon.

FUCK YEAH ENGAGE BABY WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!! I Love anything Start Trek i love anything with space lol.

I cant help it. When I look at Spock now I see Sylar.

Jimd on Oct 15, 2008

Awesome! Can't wait for this movie.

Could they have brushed Spock's and Kirk's nipples any closer for that magazine cover though? gah!! >_<

LW on Oct 15, 2008

30

since when are Sylar, Harold and Fatboy "hip teenage stars?" Quit making baseless complaints people. Can't wait for this. I wonder if audiences are gonna cheer when they hear the "beam me up scotty" line like they did with "hulk smash"

Alfredo on Oct 15, 2008

Star Trek 90210.

Please. The orignal concept by Gene Rodenberry was western+space. Let it rest in peace.

34

Yea those look real cool…I was never a star trek fan but i'm really interested in this movie, any ideas on how to get somewhat caught up? Am i better off watching a few of the movies or the tv shows? If so which ones? any help is appreciated

JaySin420 on Oct 15, 2008

35

I may be wrong but in the Pilot episode of the original Start Trek series, Kirk WASN't the Captain of the Enterprise. It was some guy called Pike, who very quickly got killed off.

If this is supposed to start when they are all in the Academy then it B*llshit…

Gump on Oct 15, 2008

36

You know how Superman Returns was a shit idea? Like Episode 1, 2 and 3 of Star Wars? Yeah, it's like that.

Icarus on Oct 16, 2008

41

The movie is supposed to take place BEFORE the time of the original series, so yes the crew is supposed to be younger. I wouldn't be TOO concerned about watching any of the shows to be caught up. Supposedly they are trying to find a balance with the diehard fans and the newbies.

leonel on Oct 16, 2008

42

they've raped star trek…damn u jj…

dmeso on Oct 16, 2008

43

haha it's harold! and why does spock look like sylar (i know its the same actor) but hes making a classic sylar face when choking the guy!

wahahaha on Oct 16, 2008

44

He's making an angry face…there aren't many different types.

tom on Oct 16, 2008

a major reboot ala BSG, what's with that bridge?
but it really looks quite cool, my nipples got hard.

queueup.net on Oct 16, 2008

46

Never been a trekker but seen a few episodes and some movies. I was a bit excited for this one since I saw it as a chanse to finally get into the whole universe and lore. Now that I see the crew and horrible colours I get turned off.
Seriously, a bunch of teenagers and Simon Pegg doing Star Trek ???? How on earth did JJ think this could be good in any way ?

Shige on Oct 16, 2008

47

Is that really the bridge? It looks like a mobile phone store, and a bit tacky.

Abrams should stick to TV. M:I 3 sucked and so will this.

sleepykid on Oct 16, 2008

48

don't like the bridge

fdsf on Oct 16, 2008

so far.. I approve

Kat on Oct 16, 2008

lame, will not go to see this or ever rent it. Kirk and Spock were done many years ago. cheap remake of a classic.

john on Oct 16, 2008

51

I was on the fence about this film until these pics. Now, I'm gonna see it in the theaters and cash in my chips to get the wife to go with instead of wait for DVD.
1. 'Syler' doing the pinch - awesome!
2. Looking at the bridge shot, give it up for Kirk doing Shatner body language - angular and 'know it all'. Let's hope it goes either just far enough, or so far it becomes Gay Camp In Space. Either would be entertaining.
The new bridge and odd uniform color changes are somewhat confusing - not even the first ST film looked this 1980's - but ok, we'll see.

Any bets for the 'other' blue shirt to be first officer who dies, paving the way for Spock?

Any bets on winks to 'this is ensign Expendable, in the red shirt, who you've never seen before and won't see again after a few minutes on the planet…'?

SR on Oct 16, 2008

52

i agree with #18

big r on Oct 16, 2008

53

The crew looks like they fell out of a teenage girl fantasy on The WB and right onto the bridge. I can understand wanting them younger, but this is stupid. 'Captain Kirk'? Did they even consider how many years you need in the Navy before you command a ship?

Yeah, just hand the keys of a starship over to someone who still pays high rates on auto insurance.

Ridiculous. Probably going to be full of drama as well. Young actors suck.

Uranium - 235 on Oct 16, 2008

54

what happened to the crew? Did some disease kill all the grown-ups on Earth so they had to use kids?

wtf?

I mean Kirk is supposed to be quite 'young' for starship captain in the original series , but this takes the biscuit.

Matt B on Oct 16, 2008

55

Spock showing emotion in the picture above? thats ILLOGICAL!!!

Oh stop make it stop, the ship looks like the apple store and ikea crashed into each other,

oh the humanity!

Adolf on Oct 16, 2008

56

All this time Ive been trying to figure out what the angle is going to be on this movie and I finally get it! Its a relaunch of the franchise for all the teeny bopper, heros, popular series fanatics.

A bunch of young women jumping around in skimpy suits.

A supposed "captain" who acts like a horny college student.

A stereotypical cliched villain.

Odd technobabble thrown in.

ITS EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL SERIES!

Im not bashing this thing, Im just saying this obviously aint no Next Generation. Its basically the style of the original series done in our modern style.

The only problem with this is that those trekkies that were brought up with the serious topics in some of the better series (TNG, DS9, several of the movies) might not be too happy about the bouncy-90210-esque remake this appears to be heading toward.

dmhorus on Oct 16, 2008

57

ya this is like high school musical in space, this kid does not and CANNOT pull off being a captain of ANYTHING! Come back in 20 yrs sh*tdick.

Adolf on Oct 16, 2008

58

I wish the assholes in Hollywood would all just fu*ing die. Cause then we'd have no more of these shitty recreations.

Leonard Nimoy was, is and alway will be Spock and this unconvincing pansy and the rest of the catwalk will immediately be forgotten along with this obvious disaster of a movie.

My year's salary this is gonna suck immensely.

Not that I'll know cause I ain't tossing 2 hrs of my life on that gabage

cherrorist on Oct 16, 2008

59

I get it. We're out of new ideas so we're recycling 40 year old ones. Umm I'm sure the effects will be nice. Maybe we can box this movie with the new speed racer and call it the Lazy Writing but Easy to Market package?

Arg on Oct 16, 2008

umm….awesome

Josh on Oct 16, 2008

Looks like a teenie bopper pile of shit. Though the pretty colors make me hope it can be half of what the Fifth Element has been for my TV. Beautiful eye candy….

Darkside on Oct 16, 2008

I wanna like this I really do but…. lets wait and see they might pull it off. But that bridge looks lame…

Agent X on Oct 16, 2008

63

JJ is the Man. There is no way this will fail. If you understand the concept, then you understand the direction, understand the orginal, then you understand the colour. Sylar aside. I am so glad the insight is inpecable concerning just viewing photographs. Years salary? Fuk ya! Make it so!

D-9 on Oct 16, 2008

64

Enough with the canon already! Star Trek "history" sucks. It was cobbled together without any thought to continuity or believability. It was already broken apart by the films and Next Generation (remember the nuclear holocaust that never happened in the original series but was part of the Next Generation history? Klingon with head ridges anyone?). Enterprise failed because the first season episodes had no sense of adventure, not because the broke canon.

If the franchise is to survive it needs a rebooting badly. Just think of all the other pop culture icons that have had retellings — Robin Hood, King Aurthur, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and James Bond. And comic books are always rebooting series for each new generation and that helps them from getting stale. If I can have suspension of disbelief for anything in the old Star Trek universe, I can certainly apply that to a reboot. I just hope Abrams does it right, because I don't think Star Trek will get a second chance.

…wait…. do we need more trekkees?!

Nick Sears on Oct 16, 2008

68

When I was a boy, I watched the one with Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard; Star Trek: The Next Generation, and enjoyed it. Haven't seen it since I was like, seven, or some shit like that. Never got into the original, and that may have something to do with the fact that Shatner is a shitty actor. Now, that may offend some fag-boys, I mean uh.. fan-boys, but cram it up your ass.

This looks good, though. I think I'm starting to like J.J. Abrams. And Zachary Quinto, too, for that matter, though I think he may wind up giving us a Sylar/Spock amalgamation.

And I heard someone saying that Abrams isn't like Lucas. Maybe Abrams should helm episodes VII, VIII, and IX of Star Wars, assuming they will ever be made. I guess they would cover the new Jedi Order or something. That would be the shiznittlebamsnipsnapsnappy. I was really disappointed by a lot of shit in episodes I, II, and III, and Lucas is definitely a sell-out.

JL on Oct 16, 2008

The casting is absolutely phenomenal. I am a Trek Fan, but not a Trekker. I could not give you all the lines and history, but I can tell you that this is a vast improvement on the old product. Visually it is stunning. I am a graphic designer and artist and the primary colors, the complimentary colors, contrast is just gorgeous. I hope, which seems positive based on the writers, that the cheese is taken out of the dialog, but allow for the old lines to remain. Basically a comparison would be the Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars with Jar Jar Binks. Enough said.

I do hope there is enough seriousness to give the tension we need. All along, you knew they were going to get out of their situation week after week. There has to be tension on a scale of Silence of the Lambs to really get people emotionally involved. I hope this is it. I hope this has the makings of the Dark Knight reboot only optimistic.

Looks good so far. Cant wait for the trailer.

#68….

fag-boys?

you sound like a pretty big star wars "fag-boy" to me…

to the average person, there's not much difference.

everyone else…
this movie hasn't even come out yet and already people are tossing around baseless hatred and generalizations. just like everyone hated Daniel Craig and thought he'd be a terrible 007. those same people who said they'd never accept him or pay to see him as Bond PAID to see CR and now they love him. imagine that. same goes for Heath Ledger as the Joker. everyone said in the beginning what a terrible Joker he'd be. and every one of those people has seen TDK 5 times. just like everyone here is gonna shell out their cash to go see this new Trek. ESPECIALLY the haters. you people with your "Never was a Trek fan, this movie is gonna suck," a million dollars says you'll be standing in line at the box office to see this just like the rest of us. i swear, the hypocrisy. wait for the movie to come out and see it for yourself before making brain dead assumptions.

oh, and i love all the people who claim to hate Star Trek or not be fans, yet they take the time to read every article about the new Star Trek movie and post on all the boards. trolls

leon on Oct 16, 2008

Call me crazy. But I'm actually going to wait for the trailer before giving an opinion. I know. I know. I must be mad not to rip into the film before seeing the final product.

But that's the way I roll.

# 69…..Careful Bishop, you make correct and valid points as your vocation reference. As a Lighting designer/director, I have used my career as a reference in trying to make a point and validate the post since I have been highly successful in my craft. Alas, many in here refuse to believe you and attack your opinion and doubt your talent or your job which affords you better insight and vision more than just a fan of the street. I agree with you, 100%. Good job! And Leon, terrific post!

I like it so far. But an all 20-something crew? Weird.

Carlos on Oct 16, 2008

I like the fact that it's an all twenty something crew. Then maybe that's just because i'm twenty eight.

I almost had a heart attack at Bones!!! To me, he looks the best right now. But I'm with DaVeO. Even though I'm a Trekker (Trekkers and Trekkies are different), I'm gonna hold out until I see the trailer.

But… Spock's eyebrows are bugging me… so bad.

Lauren on Oct 16, 2008

What's all this crap about having the crew being too young?

When the first season of Star Trek TOS went to air in 1966, the main cast were aged between 28 and 35.

In the remake, the main cast is currently aged 28 to 33…

reality-check on Oct 16, 2008

They picked up Simon Pegg to hunt some zombies in space, and Harold jumped on board after a pit stop at White Castle….come on people….this is terrible!

i'll be watching some neat looking sci-fi.

To all those people who are bitching about JJ Abrams messing with the canon, and complaining about the age of the crew etc.

You know you're going to go and watch it……

Mark on Oct 17, 2008

85

Is it just me or this looks like Star Tek 90210 or Star Trek O.C.?

I am a fan of ST so I was exited about the revival of the franchise going bacl to kirk, spock, McCoy and gang.

When I new about the cast, I romp into internet for photos of the actors and my first though was… Uhm, looks promising. I buy them. Quinto, Pegg, Saldaña.. this will be One of a Hell great ride!

But now, seeing them altogether, got seconds thoughs.

On an very premature judgment, I will say that the problem is not just the teen look, but they as a ensemble lacks of chemistry.

Of course I am going to give it a try. God allow me to be wrong. But if they star to feed whispring lines. THAT'S IT

Rolando on Oct 17, 2008

86

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Leon #71,

I did no ranting and raving about Star Wars that should earn me the label of fag-boy. There is nothing wrong with having an appreciation for fine cinema and being disappointed by a film or films that is/are supposed to be in the same story line. No one will dispute that the original trilogy was better than the drivel they pumped out in the last few years. And you only have to watch each one once. Do I own episodes IV, V, and VI? You bet your ass. For the same reason I own a copy of Blade Runner, Dawn of the Dead, The Matrix, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, or Dances With Wolves; they are fantastic films, but I don't watch them hundreds of times whilst strokin' it.

"to the average person, there's not much difference."
now it's obvious you're a trekky fag boy, fag boy. referring to non-fans as average people.

I do agree on one note, though. People will openly lambast a franchise and then give it their money. BTW, I definitely saw Ledger's Joker totally owning. Biggest reason I saw that movie more than once.

JL on Oct 17, 2008

87

go go Power Rangers … um wait .. this is Star Trek… dang.. well I have the same expectations for the story line and the villian(wow he is scary)…

He is about at the level of these phenomenal portrayals

Sorry it's not Trek. this is supopsed to be the early missons of NCC-1701 USS Enterprise well kids the Bridge set is way to Next Generation. Mr. abrams obviously never watched a classic Trek episode The beloved 1701 was not all super shiney ultra modern in her bridge area everyone had a seat no standing watch area like in Next Gen. which by this shot is what JJ watched the absolute worst Trek series stiff wooden acting bad scripts and no soul Nexty Gen sucked big time even the campy DS9 was better then Next Gen.

Look crappy on Oct 17, 2008

89

Wow… did like… everyone who commented here skip reading the premise, make up a story in their minds, then trolled this movie when they found out it's not the movie in their mind?….. wow…

Anyway… nipples…. *nod*

Chris C. on Oct 17, 2008

91

For the naysayers that complain about the timeline being worked over… Get over it. The timelines in Trek have been written… erased… re written only to be erased and redrawn again.

You're operating with the preconceived notion that this is replacing everything that has happen… this is just another divergent timeline and this may be the correct one.

I AM a trekkie and this just looks like the WORST thing ever in the history of everness!!! Enterprise was crap…the beauty of TOS was the fact that sometimes you could see the strings, and yes the foam rocks always did bounce a little higher than normal. It was the unpolished that made it shine…as each series came along the technology in our time space continuum got better and so as the future moved forward it was better…but oh this is just wrong all around!!

Rishada2001 on Oct 20, 2008

Oh man the bridge looks like one of the sets from ugly betty. Also Enterprise has got like got like 50 guns on it. Argh JJ why.

97

My only question is this. I LOVE Star Trek… I mean I was sitting on my dads knee when I was very little watching Next Generation… Ironically I didn't start watching Barney till I was almost five because I was too interested in other things but… I do digress.. Here is my true question. Is it just me or does that 'ship' or wherever they may be look like it is more futuristic then their ship in the actual series. Though I understand it is forty years after the original and it is going to always look better, what doesn't make sense to me is that it looks like it is a couple hundred years later… We have to remember Next Generation is almost 100 years after Star Trek… And this story is when the Star Trek cast is still in the academy (so within 10 - 20 years prior to lift off of the USS Enterprise). Does that confuse anyone else too?

I hate the Uniforms. They look cheap.

I loved the old 60's TV show but hated the costumes. I hate scifi that puts its characters in ridiculous Clothes. I guess I'll have to hold on to Good Characters & Stories, which is what I loved about the original. I'll give it a chance if the Characters blend well with the new faces, Good Script + Great Villian and Special Effects. The movie will have to be outstanding to overcome this.
Why couldn't they have blended the 60's style with Star Trek Wrath of Khan style uniforms?

This is what happens when you try to please Star Trek fans stuck in the 60's.

Tricky Trekki on Oct 24, 2008

P.S.
I Would have minded at all if they made that the official science officer and medical officer uniforms. It would make sense to me. Also the bridge looks all cluttered.
REMEMBER THIS ANYONE WHO MAKES SCIFI, IT HAS TO LOOK COOL.

spock strangles kirk in the movie, he just loses it. then gets sent away to a barron planet called where kirk goes to save him, the bad guy does through falling on his sword at the end. spoilers sorry.

106

Sylar = Spoke… Though it is weird, I am wondering how young he is actually supposed to be in the show. I didn't think Spoke joined the team until he was like 50 or so? I mean he is in his 200s when he visits in Next Generation…

SanoKitty on Nov 7, 2008
