Two New Star Trek Posters: Kirk and Spock
Paramount Pictures has just released two brand new character posters from the highly-anticipated “Star Trek” film, featuring Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock.
From director J.J. Abrams (“Mission: Impossible III,” “Lost” and “Alias”) and screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (“Transformers,” “MI: III”) comes a new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, “Star Trek,” featuring a young, new crew venturing boldly where no man has gone before.
More “Star Trek” Images Revealed
The upcoming issue of Empire magazine features a brand new Kirk and Spock cover with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and some more images of the new crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
In addition to the photos, Empire also talks to director J.J. Abrams, who comes clean about one of his major obstacles on the film, the nature of which might surprise you:
“For me, the costumes were a microcosm of the entire project, which was how to take something that’s kind of silly and make it feel real…How do you make legitimate the pointy ears and the bowl haircut? It’s ridiculous and as potentially cliched as it gets. How do you watch Galaxy Quest and then go make a Star Trek movie?”
Star Trek Plot Details
Entertainment Weekly’s 8-page on J.J. Abrams‘ “Star Trek” cover story is now online including a very detailed look at the synopsis of the upcoming film.
Star Trek’s time-travel plot is set in motion when a Federation starship, the USS Kelvin, is attacked by a vicious Romulan (Eric Bana) desperately seeking one of the film’s heroes. From there, the film then brings Kirk and Spock center stage and tracks the origins of their friendship and how they became officers aboard the Enterprise.
In fact, the movie shows how the whole original series crew came together: McCoy (Karl Urban), Uhura (Zoë Saldana), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Sulu (John Cho), and Chekov (Anton Yelchin). The adventure stretches from Earth to Vulcan, and yes, it does find a way to have Nimoy appearing in scenes with at least one of the actors on our cover – and maybe both. The storytelling is newbie-friendly, but it slyly assimilates a wide range of Trek arcana, from doomed Captain Pike (Bruce Greenwood) to Sulu’s swordsmanship to classic lines like, “I have been, and always shall be, your friend.” More ambitiously, the movie subversively plays with Trek lore – and those who know it. The opening sequence, for example, is an emotionally wrenching passage that culminates with a mythic climax sure to leave zealots howling “Heresy!” But revisionism anxiety is the point. “The movie,” Lindelof says, “is about the act of changing what you know.”
