The Latest Trailer for Abrams’ Star Trek 11

Not sure if this is the final trailer, or just the latest trailer for J.J. Abrams’ reboot of the Trek franchise, but here it is nonetheless. It looks good, even for a non-Trekkie like myself. I’m not sure if Kirk and Uhura ever did the horizontal mambo in the original show, or if it was ever hinted at, but they sure are doing it in this one.

Abrams has already stated that his goal of making the movie was not for the hardcore Trekkies, but for newcomers to the franchise. Not sure how I would feel about that if I was a Trekkie, kinda feels like a slap in the face, but whatever, I’m not one, so I can’t really say.

In any case, here’s the newest trailer. I love the scene when young Chris Pine sits down in the captain’s chair (for the first time?), and he gives that look like, “Yeah, I was born to sit here.” That’s the first time I really bought the idea that this kid would grow up to be James T. Kirk (as played by William Shatner).

“Trek 11″, simply called “Star Trek”, launces open May 8.
