I get the feeling this is the part of the movie where Spock (Zachary Quinto) loses his Vulcan cool and tries to choke the crap out of Kirk (Chris Pine) via the trailers. Then again, from what I’ve seen, young Kirk seems to be a bit of a cocky dick, so maybe Spock had no choice but to choke some humble pie into the tool. Anyways, latest clip from Abrams’ totally un-Trek like Trek reboot after the jump.
It has been rumoured by an anonymous source, via Fringe Television, that Mr. Leonard Nimoy will guest as William Bell, former partner of Walter Bishop (played by the simply excellent John Noble) and founder of the sketchy and mysterious Massive Dynamics, a company of dark technology staffed with ne’re-do-wells. This is a very credible rumour as the co-creators of Fringe are Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the golden boys behind “Star Trek”.
This is the first extended peek of Karl Urban’s take on the character of Dr. McCoy and he seems to have really nailed it.
We return again to Austin, Texas. This time we come with mighty footage of the event itself, where a sneaky screening of “Star Trek” was shown at a supposed Wraith of Khan showing. As I mentioned earlier, Spock himself was there to introduce the movie. Grown men were seen to weep. I myself tear up at the very thought of seeing the logical one in person.
A screening for Star Trek 2: The Wraith Of Khan, in Austin Texas, at the supposedly amazing Alamo Drafthouse, turned out to be a clever ruse to actually present the first public screening of everyone’s favorite pointy earred, brow lifting, full frontal phaser epic “Star Trek”.
We have yet another TV spot with new footage from “Star Trek”. In this version, we get a tighter glimpse of the young rebel Kirk and his bar fighting abilities, etc. Along with this trailer we have some shots from the official Trek movie site of the bridge.
If you’ve been waiting to see the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation reunite on TV, you’re in luck, because they just did. Well, in animated form and it was on the hit-and-miss show Family Guy, but hey, a reunion is a reunion, right? The episode is called “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven”, and features Stewie (the show’s evil toddler genius) creating a teleporter ala the show and beaming the cast to his bedroom, then they go out for burgers. No, really.
With its May 8 release date coming up fast, you’re starting to see and hear a whole lot about J.J. Abrams’ Trek reboot. Some new batch of images from the movie that I haven’t seen before have also landed online, including the very tantalizing view of Rachel Nichols (or is that Diora Baird?) as a green-skinned Orion. Endymi0n has already posted a couple of the new images here, but here are the rest of them.
Orion girls may or may not be easy. We’ll have to see for ourselves when the new “Star Trek” movie hits on May 8. Orion girls sure are pretty though. MTV scored this picture and a few others, including a Spock to Spock gathering of the minds. Click within to see the good stuff.
Variety reports that Damon Lindelof has signed on alongside current Trek writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman for the as yet unknown titled sequel to the extremely anticipated, upcoming Star Trek movie.
