Star Trek TV Spot #1
Paramount Pictures released first TV spot for the upcoming J.J. Abrams‘ “Star Trek” film.
It is being reporting that the upcoming film will be shown not only in conventional theaters, but also IMAX. The movie was not shot with IMAX cameras, but will instead be converted to 70mm for the extra large screens.
To me, it’s shocking that there are actually people out there who still haven’t been won over by the IMAX format. Presumably these are people who live in an area where there simply isn’t a theater, or who have stubbornly refused to visit one. This isn’t exactly a new innovation. You and I know better. Be in the IMAX seat next to me for Star Trek on May 8th of next year.
Star Trek stars John Cho, Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Winona Ryder, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Eric Bana and Leonard Nimoy. Read the rest of this entry

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.
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.”
