Good Day New York has a nice interview with J.J. about the big “Star Trek” opening tomorrow. He goes into some detail on the selection of Chris Pine and his feelings about William Shatner’s feelings about not being in the movie. I like that a real Star Trek fan is doing the interview. Thanks to reader Rowdy for the tip.

Kirk On Kirk Action
Captured live on film we have the first meeting of the Kirks, Chris Pine and William Shatner. It’s a pretty cool moment for you Trekkie’s out there. I misted up a bit. They were perfect gentlemen. Thanks slashfilm.
Eric Bana On Losing Conciousness Nero Style
Eric Bana, who plays bad guy Romulan crazoid Nero in “Star Trek” opens up on some behind the scenes info, including a passionate display of apoplexy!
I’m curious about your movements in character. You’re very aggressive and strong, did you come up with any of those reactions and jumps yourself or was it all planned out?
The Onion Puts Me In My Place
I might be taking this “Star Trek” movie a bit too seriously. The Onion reports on how Star Trek fans are outraged that our (my) beloved Sci-Fi fetish doesn’t suck, isn’t boring and features no nerdy bits that will make normal movie goers cross-eyed with fatal propeller-headed overload.
Yet Another Star Trek Trailer
Here’s another in the endless string of pre-release “Star Trek” trailers. I can only say that they surely must be confident that this movie is a winner. Overexposure is not their concern. This trailer has some new looks at engineering spaces within the great ship called Enterprise. Buy your tickets ahead of time kids.
In Depth Leonard Nimoy Interview
When TrekMovie calls the big guys answer it seems. Leonard Nimoy answers many burning questions about his thoughts on “Star Trek”, “Fringe” and his involvement with other projects as well as his thoughts on Big Bill and a ton of other stuff. Here’s a small look.
Burger King’s Star Trek Commercial
Because obviously nothing says “Star Trek” quite like Burger King. Right? Right? Ahem. I saw this commercial on TV and thought it was kinda cool, so here it is. J.J. Abrams’ Trek 11 reboot opens later this week on Friday, but then you probably already know that. Expect Trek toys with Burger King’s version of the Happy Meal. I don’t even know what they call it. Heh. He named his dog Tiberius.
Attack Of The Star Trek Trailers!
So I was watching last nights Lost episode, wondering where in the holy hell the plot was going, when POW, I was assaulted by yet another “Star Trek” trailer. I jerkily reached for the remote since I really would like to avoid seeing the entire movie in advance of my epic journey to the temple of IMAX next week.
New Batch of Star Trek Images
At this point, we might end up seeing half of the movie via clips by the time “Star Trek” is finally out in theaters on May 8. Mind you, not that I’m complaining, because I’m actually warming up to the movie. Shockingly, I don’t even mind the whole “not really Star Trek Star Trek” vibe that Abrams has been giving out since he started doing interviews. And certainly Trek fans don’t seem to mind, so why should I? Here are even more images from the movie. I believe some of these are old, or I’ve seen them in various forms over the year, but I’m told these are new, so I’m calling them new and that’s all there is to it.
Zoe Saldana Spills A Few Beans On James Camerons Avatar
It is a very difficult task getting any inside juice on “Avatar”. James Cameron runs a tight ship. There is little or no leakage. Zoe Saldana, who plays Uhura in “Star Trek”, also plays a part in the oncoming “Avatar”. During a recent interview, she tempts Mr. Cameron’s terrible wraith by giving us some tiny spoilers. We will take what we can get.
J. J Abrams On The Dvd and Blu-Ray Versions Of Star Trek
J.J Abrams, director of the little film they are calling “Star Trek”, opening next week at an Imax near you, gives us a little glimpse of what will be coming when “Star Trek” finally makes it to Dvd (ick) and Blu-Ray (w00t). We can expect about 5-10 minutes of deleted scenes, most notably featuring Nero, our favorite Romulan crazoid, in a Klingon prison. Thanks Collider.
Spock And Uhura: Together At Last?
I’ve been following the Trek news in a very close way. I’m as die hard a Trekkie as you can get while still holding on to my dignity. I have been to conventions. No, I did not wear Spock ears although I could have rocked them. I do know some Klingon, but only the stuff you want to say to female Klingons or to any recently vanquished foes, their twisted bodies lying broken and bloody at my feet.
Four More Star Trek Clips
Four new clips from J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek”. You know, the more I see of this movie, the more I’m really excited for it, and I’ve never exactly been all that excited for anything Trek. Four very cool clips, the first one has Bruce Greenwood’s Captain Pike convincing a beat-up Chris Pine (the aftermath of the bar fight over Uhura as seen in previous clips), the second is Kirk and Sulu getting ready for a space jump onto a Romulan vessel (Sulu informs Kirk of his fencing prowess), in the third clip, Romulan Captain Nero makes his appearance and (literally) drives his point home, and the fourth clip features that bar scene between Kirk and a Uhura which leads to the bar fight.
Entertainment Tonights Big Huge Trek Video
Because we have posted just about every other Trek preview and video known to exist of any consequence, I have for you, dear reader, a nice big spoilerific behind the scenes Trek video extravaganza courtesy of Entertainment Tonight. It has two minutes of footage plus interviews. Just be really careful. I imagine if you snip together all the videos released you could probably just about get to see all the good stuff in the movie. Thanks Trekmovie.
