First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie

Philias Fog writes "The most secret project in Hollywood is finally lifting its skirt. Today Paramount released a number of images for their new Star Trek movie directed by JJ Abrams. Shots include images of the bridge of the Enterprise, the villain Nero, a ship (not the Enterprise) and all of the crew in uniform. TrekMovie.com has a complete set of photos and links to all the new shots."

OK, here ya go:

How on earth can the entire command staff of the Enterprise be that young? They don't require people to have serious experience (time in the field) before they can get to positions of that much responsibility?

An adolescent captain just looks wrong...

At least they got that right in (most) of the other Treks.

Other than that, nice pics; love the angry Spock one :-)

Plot synopsis

[Notquitecajun]

It's JJ Abrams, which means we get to start out in the middle of the story, backtrack to "where it all began," and finish up with a fun-filled exciting resolution!

MI:III I'm betting was just a rehash of an unused ALIAS script.

Not that he does bad work, it's just a little repetitive after a while.

I would think CleverNickName would be the best person to answer that one.

It looks like High School Space Capades. These kids are way too young and they all look way too much the same. AND William Shatner IS Captain Kirk. There is no way you can cast anybody as Kirk but Shatner. Why even go there? If they want to appeal to new younger croud, then just call it Star Trek: ABC or something. They don't know Kirk anyway. I don't think any trekkies will be happy with that.

I seriously had to check if it was April 1.

Speaking...

As someone who watched TOS on a black and white 9" TV with a towel under the door to hide the light from my parents (it was on after bed time)...I welcome a "refreshing" of the Star Trek ensemble. The key to success will be the script, not the special effects, a lesson not learned in a few previous Star Trek and most Sci-Fi movies...

Shatner was 35 when he started acting as J.T. Kirk. Pine is 28. He has about the right age for the role he has to play in the story of the Kirk character. Furthermore people at 28 can already be everything they'll ever be if they're really good.

Nothing good acting can't fix.

[RulerOf]

That honestly depends on how good of an actor he is.

I had no idea that I would end up loving Leonardo DiCaprio as much as I do now when I saw him in Titanic. But after seeing movies like Catch Me if You Can and The Aviator, you'll understand how simply being a good actor can negate these kinds of labels.

Having watched a few episodes of Heroes this season, I'd say Quinto is a better actor than the character of Sylar called for until this season. I'm prepared to lay all the shitty lines he's had on the writers at this point, and not his two-dimensional acting. In two episodes, thanks to the joy of time travel, you see him as the classic psychotic villain, someone who's looking at his life and wondering if perhaps there's a better way, and a father who's desperately fighting his demons to give his kid the life he never had. And they were convincing, to me anyway.
I think he'll play a Vulcan a million times better than what's-her-name from Enterprise, and give a respectable portrayal of Spock. His biggest problem is going to be acting in the shadow of Leonard Nimoy.

Re:Why!?!

[Lord Bitman]

Every Star Trek iteration has been an entirely new crew, ship, and usually mission statement. The only way to not just be "more of the same" is to revisit existing characters.

Im almost 30 and guess what, not for nothing but I look a hell of a lot more like Pine than I do Shat when he was Kirk. Back then hollywood tended to have older actors play younger characters, to the point that once you have actors who ARE the actual age of the characters play them, it seems jarring.

You know another thing, I love how people call it Star Trek 90210, yet people fail to remember the entire cast of that show minus Brian Austen Green was like 25 when they started. They where 25 and playing 16 year olds.

Adolescent?! The guy's 28 years old. Check IMDB, at 28, he's the youngest member of the cast which averages in the mid-30s.

You've been watching too much 90210, and may have actually come to believe that good looking mid-to-late 20s actors are teens. ;-)

Re:I hate Hollywood.

[grub]

The current Galactica is far superior to the tripe from my childhood. I'm probably in the minority but I really did enjoy Enterprise as well. Voyager with Captain Duck got lame fast.

Hmmm

[ZDRuX]

I looked at the vidcaps and didn't see Picard. This movie has failed already.

[Neoprofin]

So if we made the next James Bond movie and had him played by Dakota Fanning it'd be ok as long as she put in a good performance?

It's just a movie after all. I hear 50 Cent is still into acting, maybe we can remake Schindler's List since Indian Jones already got the new Speilburg treatment.
