JFX Online have nabbed the first shots of the Star Trek location shooting, but unfortunately they don’t reveal much. None of the big stars can be seen and it seems the Abrams team planned ahead by issuing hooded trench coats to hide all the costume goodness.
Goto JFX Online for the photos, Plus more JFX images availbe at IESB.net.
Very cool.
They look like Jedi but looking at that pic the first thing that comes to my sick mind is ‘birng out your dead’ from a certain Monty Python movie.
HOLY CRAP !
Isnt that Shatner second from the left !!!
yawn… looks like 21st century fabric.
You can actually pick out some costume hints from these images. I saw some olive green and blue tunics under those cloaks with what looks like a zipper-front ribbed collar in a matching color. Greenish brown pants and a couple of varieties of boots, including some silvery moon boot types. One of the women was bare-legged; mini-skirt perhaps?
Well, at least we’re getting some good views of the footwear :).
(Looks like black rubberized shoes, and black pants. I’m thinking Starfleet uniforms. Any bets on whether the folks with hoods up are Vulcans?
Also, pant colors seem to match shirt colors — black/black, olive/olive, white/white.
…and on the back of the coats there’s printing that reads:
“J.J. Abrams hired me for his new Star Trek film,
and all I got was this stupid hoodie.”
thrilling
I would not find it surprising at all if the extras were dressed in bogus costumes under those coats, if only to throw us off.
Jeezus. I think I’m becoming one of you Grassy Knoll/WTC conspiracy theorists out there. ‘Scuze me whilst I adjust my tinfoil hat…… ;-)
Way to reinforce the negative attitude regarding patriots who are concerned for the country, Viking.
JJ.Bring back the miniskirts(it’s canon).
well that’s a bit of a tease
Negative attitudes toward WTC conspiracy theorists are grounded in reality and common sense. Doesn’t matter how “patriotic” they evaluate themselves to be.

Alex Jones listener yes?
I bet you have infowars in your bookmarks too.

No pointed sideburns and pants to ankles. More like “Enterprise”.
So it begins…
Except for one of the black male actors, none of the others are sporting the pointed sideburns. Maybe these are decoys.
None of the actors seem to have the traditional Starfleet sideburns – but that was a TOS series thing not neccessarily pre-TOS.
Exactly. No one in “The Cage” has the pointed sideburns except Spock.
#14 – thank you, sir. It wasn’t proffered as a personal attack, merely a tongue-in-cheek observation.
What other site could get from Star Trek to WTC conspiracies in ten posts? :p
CanuckLou – maybe this is why the New England Patriots seem so invincible – they’re running their offense from the Abrams Playbook. I think we may be seeing so many fakes, reverses, double-pumps, and draw plays, we’re all getting faked out of our cleats here. LOL ;-)
@23 Amen – plus did you notice how many people in those pictures seem to be looking directly into the camera and smiling!
#22 – I post at a couple that could do it in three or less, even if the thread was about your grandmother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I hang out in some strange neighborhoods, broham. :-D
And so it begins
I told myself that I wasn’t going to completely spoiler out and look where I end up at the drop of a hat.
And Stanky, for someone with little interest in this fake movie it is indeed curious to find you on this thread so soon. Are you here to point at us and laugh? Or deep down are you giddy like a schoolgirl for the new movie?
I tease.
CanuckLou – if we’ve been getting smoke blown up our asses all along, I hope Roberto is prepared to get a Shatner-esque roasting over it right here at this site. :-D
I’m giddy. I admit it. Amazingly 60s-like haircuts.
Dennis, can’t you go anywhere without bringing your hateful, vitriolic, left-wing nutcase agenda voice of criticism and empty superiority with you?
Apparently not.
Hey #10, that’s exactly what the nerds want! (throws up hands in disgust) I must be careful lest i burn myself out before the premiere. I was one who saw a crappy katie holmes flick just to see the trailer for Nemesis. Hey Mr. Orci tell JJ to put the teaser before a good movie, so i don’t completely waste my money
These could be Starfleet “flight suits” instead of actual uniforms. Like the one piece jump suits that Air Force pilots or astronauts wear. Just speculation of course.
Sweeeeeet.
And seriously, who really cares about whether they have pointed sideburns or not? That’s not something I’ve ever paid any attention to.
this is hilarious. i love that people are actually trying to extrapolate (ooh, star trek word; wonder if i spelled it right) anything from these shots.
Very cool. Love the hoodies..JJ is one step ahead of us! Gotta love it.
#30. Excelsior Prime
Don’t be such a child.
IF they show up in this film wearing jumpsuits I am going to puke.
Wanna’ know something truly geeky? I cut my sideburns with a Starfleet point for Halloween and have kept them this way because my wife likes ’em.
Does this movie really have to look like the sixties?
I think the makers of TOS were trying to make it look like the 23rd century.
i’m thinking these are cadet uniforms for the starfleet academy scenes. why else would so many extras be in one place at one time?
Why do all male starfleet personell have those pointy sideburns anyway?What kind of regulation is that?Maybe that’s what the new movie will be about.
#39:”Does this movie really have to look like the sixties?

Well, they only succeeded in making it look like the 60s. Miniskirts, bright colors – my God, avocado-colored clothing!
Velour fabric was a very 60s “mod” thing too – “Lost In Space” used the same material in their tunics.
Of course, how you can say that this looks like “21st century fabric” when all we can see are collars and cuffs is a mystery anyway.
Wow…. actors…and they’re in HOODIES! GASP!
No offense, but this barely qualifies as news…

Dennis, that’s enough of your left-wing nutcase theories
Just kidding. Ha. :p
Because I’m sure that the mainstream audience would want to see a blockbuster that looks like a 60’s television program. Love the old Trek, but anyone who actually thought that this film would look like TOS is a fool. They have to modernize it to make it palatable to people outside the Trek community, and by the (very tiny) looks of it it seems that they are doing alright.
#38 (snipped) “…because my wife likes ‘em.”
LOL! You *are* a wise man!
However, my little brother outgeeks you by light years! ;-) About 30 years ago, as soon as he was able to grow out his sideburns, he shaved them to “Jim Kirk sideburns” and has worn them that way ever since.
Peace. Live long and prosper.

#44: “Dennis, that’s enough of your left-wing nutcase theories
Just kidding. Ha. :p”
Well, given that in this case my “left-wing nutcase theory” is that Al Queda was responsible for the 9/11 attacks rather than some secret conspiracy, I’m mildly puzzled myself. :lol:
#42
They say first impression is very important.
JJ had better release something big SOON!
The pant legs I saw looked like a good business suit material.
Funny you bring up Lost in Space. Now that was a successful remake.
Minus the monkey. And I have stated befor how I loved the uniforms the Robinsons wore. Picture those uniforms on the ST cast, but with the vibrant colors we remember from TOS. That would be great IMO.
But it will never happen.
Well, MY theory is that all we know about what supposedly happened on that awful day is what this government has chosen to tell us. And–sorry, but I’ve been around the block once or twice–governments tend to lie. This one, more than most.
However complacent most Americans are in their certitude, my gut feeling is that we know as much regarding the “truth” about 09/11 as the posters at this site know about the Starfleet uniforms and ship designs. Of course, this also includes the “conspiracy theorists.”
Dirty Dennis – Our resident lighting rod. Amazing the number of new (and not so new) posters who don’t bother to read the original refered to posts in question before they go on the attack. Reading is a skill folks.
