More Star Trek Images: Enterprise Crew + Nero [UPDATED] October 15, 2008
by TrekMovie.com Staff , Filed under: Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback
TrekMovie is not the only website to get an exclusive new image from the Star Trek movie. In fact there are five more.
UPDATED: All five images are now up, showing the crew in various locations plus one of Nero.
See below
Bridge crew!
UGO’s image is of everyone but Spock on the bridge of the Enterprise. Goto UGO for more.

Spock is still working on his emotional control
You don’t want to get Spock angry! AICN got a great shot of Kirk (Chris Pine) getting a new kind of pinch from Spock (Zachary Quinto). Goto AICN to see more.
Kirk and Spock (click to see much more)
Here’s Nero
JoBlo.com got a shot of the villain Nero played by Eric Bana.
Nero (click to see much more)
JoBlo also talked to Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof about the image, here is part of what he said about Nero’s crew.
I think that perhaps they look like pirates in a way that they are tattooed and don’t wear uniforms but in my own brain, I look at pirates as people who kinda hang around and they rob other ships and they’re more interested in booty, plunder and pillaging and those sorts of things. Especially since the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies, they’re sort of a fun-loving drinking lot. None of those things would describe this particular group of non-Vulcans. These guys have a very specific mission. They’re not interested in material wealth. They’re interested in something else entirely.
See the rest at JoBlo.com
UPDATE: Kirk on Ice
IGN was given an interesting shot of Kirk getting out of some kind of pod in some kind of frozen location.
Kirk gets chilly (click to see much more)
Damon also talked to IGN about the icy Kirk, here is one tidbit:
This is right around the midpoint of the movie. One of the things that’s at the heart of the Trek universe… is the idea of the away team. The idea that it’s not just about people shooting around in a starship, but they also go down to these planets..
See the rest at IGN.com
UPDATE 2: Kirk in the chair
Possibly the best for last MTV gets a shot of Kirk in the Captain’s chair, with the irascible Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban) at his side.
Kirk in command! (click to see much more)
Here is part of what Lindelof had to tell MTV:
When asked why Kirk was wearing black instead of the standard yellow captain’s shirt, Lindelof said that the black uniform was, in fact, a captain’s uniform — and the color was “significant” to the story surrounding this scene.
See the rest at MTV.com
UPDATE 3: Sulu
On Friday Yahoo Movies updated their gallery and it includes an additional photo of Sulu (John Cho).
Sulu looks concerned (click to see much more)
UPDATE 4: More Spock
On Friday AICN got a ‘cutting room floor’ image from EW.

That… is… cool!
YES!! ::passes out from excitement::
Seriously, I didn’t need this all at one time!!!! Parmount coulda showed this time little by little. I’m freaking out!!!!! AHHHHH!
Lol, is that Bones?
Anthony, you are on a roll!
Thank you! I owe you latinum!
Oh… My… God… LOVE that crew image.
I’m not diggin Yelchin’s curly hair, but if that’s the worst of it, I’m happy!!
HEAD EXPLODES!!!!
=D
Damn, Zoe looks exactly like Nichelle. Sweeeeet.
nice!
Looks like Nero has a full ear on one side but not the other (judging from the poster released earlier).
Looks like Nero has a full ear on one side but not the other (judging from the poster released earlier).
I filled the cup!
Note on the Viewscreen behind the crew, it says “Warp Factor”. I think the cast all look pretty good in this shot.
Oh my god! That looks amazing!
OMG OMG OMG….can’t…breathe…feel faint…..
This rocks quite significantly
Oh my…finally some really cool images.
The crew shot is REALLY cool. TOS reborn and a major relief. Scotty lokks rather clueless though…
The other pics are meh…
Nero looks exactly like Shinzon as a true Romulan with tattoos.
That Kalvin shot is a glimpse of an SFX f*ck fest aka Nemesis II – The Wrath of the Viceroy…okay, he seems to be trapped in some sort of H.G. Wellsian time capsule…
And then there is Spock, played by Sylar…there is no logic in that…
So far, nothing more but a mixed bag…
Apparently, they’re going warp factor 4.306 according to the viewscreen?
Yay!!! Finally! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Carol Marcus is in the movie!
Wow! I wasn’t expecting this today. Not so much feeling the new weave in the tunics. It doesn’t look very good on the command ones at all.
If that’s the bridge I am in fact seeing with all the weird blue lighting and far too removed look from from the original to even be recognizable… eh. Maybe I’ll catch this at a matinee at the cheap theater four months after it’s released.
Looks great. It looks futuristic. I really like the idea of the T-Shirt under the uniform. It works well. But Nero looks like something out of Harry Potter.
I think I just might die.
Gee whiz! Am I glad I had today off from work. It would have sucked to come home late in the evening and be the last person to see all of this wonderful stuff!
I’m looking at all these new pictures and my head is just swimming! That shot of the crew is amazing. Sure as shine-ola looks like Star Trek to me!
Oh, I am one happy, happy Trek fan today!
Oh whatever, you’ll watch it on the day of release.
@23: Harry Potter? WTF? It’s a plain copy of a succumbing Shinzon in my book…even the lighting seems to be a 1:1 replica of Nemesis on this picture…
Worst uniforms since… ever 8[
I love how, just like the Original Series, everyone seems to have the little departmental insignia within their Starfleet arrowheads.
Major props to the designand wardrobe guys, I’ve very impressed. Looking at Simon Pegg at the back of that crew shot, the costume looks pretty much an exact match for the original TOS costumes. If they can do that with the ship and everything else, I’ll be incredibly impressed.
Nero looks BADASS in this pic!!!

The crew looks great!
One small complaint…chekov’s hair is not so good. But everything else? WOW
another……. http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/692255/star-trek/images/star-trek-20081015025340385.html
Oh…my…god…! Damn…this is… sooooooooooooooo… freakin´ … awesoooooooooooome!!! Ahhhhhhh! OMG! OMG! OMG!
Is that a tear in my eye?
The cast picture is great. I love it so much, I see Scotty back there looking just like Scotty. I can buy it. However, It cannot be that difficult to make something look like Trek, the trick will be to make it… right.
what a great day…it just keeps getting better!
Spock should be taller than kirk…
This was a significant part of the style of TOS characters….
Is this new spock taller than the new kirk?
I guess we assume that these photos are late in the film, as we ALL know Sulu should be in blue (astrophysics), and Scotty and Spock (and Uhura) in gold.
(Ducks and hides)
Seriously, what possibly could the next image be….. wait, could we get the Enterprise today too????
#28
They’re okay, I guess.
But still –
OMG! OMG! :D
Quinto is 1.85, Pine is 1.84. But calling their heights significant is in my opinion a bit… let’s say over the top.
So does Kirk just walk around in a black shirt for the entire movie or what?
Awesome images though!!
One more picture added….and there is one more to come!
Okay, the arrowheads are a bit too small…
Really, I mean seven years ago everybody complained about stuff like that when Enterprise premiered…now we’re getting a complete reboot and no one seems to critically care…that’s a good sign…
I want this movie to be a hit…but I have got my problem with some of the details revealed today…
Nonetheless, this is a start…hopefully for the best!
Fascinating. These “new” uniforms are like as “updated” as the Superman suit from “Superman Returns”.
Whoa check out Karl Urban as McCoy, he’s doing the De Kelley arms crossed!
Karl Urban IS Bones. Ingenious casting.
22 – Don’t be ridiculous.
JUST SHOW US THE DAMN — uh — oh, well, thank you!
Is it me or does NERO look a bit like…SHINZON.
:-S
They look fantastic. Better than I could have expected. Wow. Brilliant costume design. Just awesome.
39 – One can only hope
37 – Maybe they gave Spock some lifts?
That…is…AWESOME!
@45: Exactly…that was my prediction back in early 2006! It’s exactly the way I thought it would be…maybe those designers read some of my numerous posts back then…
I didn’t want to see anything until the movie came out.. but curiosity got the best of me and I looked. OMG!! So F***ing cool! Love the group shot.. I cannot wait til the movie is out! Look really great!
Wow, Scotty is perfect! The bridge looks like JJ talked a lot to Jony Ive…
Does Kirk have to earn his gold shirt?
28 can you be any more mellodramatic?
I for one find the new unis fantastic! Much like they had to do in First Contact by adding texture to the uniforms to make them appear more lifelike on the larger cameras, something had to be done with these uniforms in much the same way. Thats one of the reasons they switched to the “Monster Maroons” in Star Trek 2.
Its all about the aesthetics as viewed by the camera, to give it some depth and texture. Fantastic job, and really neat they used the Trek Trident as part of the stitching of the fabric.
YES NEXT YEAR CAN NOT COME ANY FASTER!!!!
Interesting ice pic of Kirk from what looks like an Enterprise escape pod. Perhaps that is a location shot in Iceland?
I hope this place doesn’t go into meltdown with the geek overload we’re all experiencing now!
@49: No, it is not just you…he looks a lot like Shinzon as I’ve stated numerous times…that is my one major concern with these images so far…
These shots are great. My hopes for this movie haven’t been crushed yet, and I think they’re safe. All we need now is to see the ship. I have a feeling we’ll all be ready for another one once the credits start to roll.
btw
Is that Kirk that Spock is choking the shit out of?
OMG… OMG… OMG… to copy Spockanella… Trekgasm….Ah, ah, ah…. (looking again at pics) AHHH!!!
Man I just can’t get over the crew and choking shots…I am seriously way more exicted for this movie than any other movie ever.
Very sweet Jesus!!!
MOAR PLZ! :)
To everyone whining that Nero looks like Shinzon – seriously, who the hell cares as long as he ACTS differently?
59 HMS:
I heard the Iceland location shoot was canceled.
The black shirt on Kirk is interesting, as he’s in it in all the shots.
BRIDGE
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/10/15/exclusive-new-star-trek-movie-photo-with-kirk-spock-sulu-and-the-uss-enterprise-bridge/
the bridge shot is awesome…
these images made my day!! :)
I have added the last image
Ok. Now thats what im talking about. Now we have some realy kool things to talk about and now We are all more excited!!!!!!! then ever. Way to go Anthony. You are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bridge isn’t what I exactly expected it to be. It looks… yeah different, I’d like to see more of it in the Trailer to judge it at all but from what I can say I really like it.
Ok, I didn’t read the caption that said it WAS Kirk and Spock so I retract my question. LOL My bad.
Not as excited about the bridge shot…wish it could have looked more classic, but oh well…everything else is fantastic.
Not a fan of the new bridge however… a bit too much of Stargate SG-1 in it. lol
The MTV page with the bridge shot says that Kirk’s black outfit “is” a captain’s uniform and that it’s a plot point…
Despite the bridge looking just a bit different, everything looks GREAT! After a long day, this was a huge boost. Thanks so much Trekmovie for keeping us up to date!
I knew I would be excited when this day comes… but damn! Trekgasm indeed!
73- it was always going to be updated, but eh, those desk lamps on that station there are straight out of the pilot :p
Meh…up to now the pics were cool…but that bridge shot. What’s that redshirt secretary doing with her desk there? That simply looks awkward.
This just looks excellent !!! Im really exited. Did you all see the pic on the bridge where Pine is clinching his fist ala Shatner…love it
Hmm, not loving the bridge shot as much as the rest, but I guess you can’t have everything. :)
Wow. That’s just amazing. Seriously. The bridge looks…it looks like the original bridge would have looked had they done Trek in the 21st century. In my opinion anyways. Gotta say, I love it, and Kirk’s pose? Classic.
-The Doc
Okay, I just had a Trekgasm with the bridge shot. WOW.
Looks like the TMP bridge
I LOVE the new bridge! Its perfect! Its realistic enough to be “real” and retro enough to be familiar.
oh… MINI SKIRTS AND GO-GO BOOTS! YES!!
*ahem* Sorry, I had to let that out! Haha
Karl Urban on the Bridge as McCoy TOTALLY gets it! Hooray!
look at bones in the bridge shot, it really IS BONES, and it IS KIRK in the captains chair, not some guy trying to be like william shatner. I´m so excited!
I like the new bridge. it is… different, but thats ok. looks really cool!
im not sure if it is me but looking at the 2 bridge photos. It looks like McCoy and Scotty are wearing rings? Could be some kind of starfleet ring?
Well, the bridge pretty much says everything: this IS a reboot and nothing but a reboot…no way you could possibly link this MTV image with any previous material, not TOS, even not TMP…it’s just another reality…
What can I add that the rest of you guys haven’t already said!?
I have tears in my eyes, but at the same time, I can’t stop laughing with JOY!!!!!!
Im guna guess the red shirt is a Yeoman, a Yeoman station?
Keep in mind we’re seeing about 1/4 of the whole bridge in that shot, with lots of obscured stuff, I bet it’ll look pretty cool when the whole deal is revealed!
Hate the Bridge!
Not so sure about the Bridge shot, it reminds me a lot of Stargate.
I’m hoping that it will grow on me when I see more, hopefully in the trailer.
Man, that McCoy is spot on. And even the way Kirk is slouched to the side in the Captain’s chair, just like the Shat used to do it in TOS. I’m giving an A+ to everything, except the bridge shot. Hopefully I’ll like the bridge when I see more.
[88] Bones always used to wear a ring…
Fantastic.
Two thoughts:
The bridge looks a little too “Minority Report” for my tastes, but I did notice the red handrails and seats.
I’m guessing the bridge crew in that UGO shot are looking at two Spocks.
i love the new bridge. in fact I love it all.
Christmas in October
I guess I am in the minority here, but I am significantly underwhelmed.
The pictures of Nero and Kirk climbing out of the pod are fine, but the rest just… well, frankly, they just don’t feel right to me… at all.
The bridge looks really, really bad… and I don’t care for the silver insignia on the uniforms (arrowhead or rank stripes). I still don’t like the ’subtle’ texture of the uniforms any better than when we first got a hint of them in the posters…
Looking at this makes me think Space 1999 remake, not Star Trek.
That being said, I’m still hopeful that the story will be very good, but I’m not digging the look at all.
Rob+
Are those Joysticks on that one desk? Is she the tactical officer?
I think the bridge is wonderful, definitely looks up to date yet acknowledges the source with such attention to detail, the ‘desk lamps’ from the pilot even!
What a wonderful set of images. I can only hope this film lives up. What a way to bring the feeling of the original series bang up to date!
It’s great to finally see Kirk in the chair, although I’m not quite sure what to make of the bridge. I’ll have to wait until I see more before making final judgement.
66 AJ: Ah. I must have missed that little piece of news.
Wow. The uniforms look great.
Urban and Pegg: outstanding!
Kirk looks a bit bruised and McCoy wears a medkit on his belt!
I’m not sure about the bridge though…
I found that picture of the bridge about 5 mins ago. I’m not really sure what to think. I mean, it’s not horrible, but from the interviews I expected to to be a lot more TOS like.
I cant wait to see more
Fantastic. The bridge is different, but I’m up for change. =]
The red miniskirts station reminds me of the old bridge design from the days of Pike… and of this bridge
http://images.zeit.de/bilder/2007/39/bildergalerien/galerien/bg-science-fiction/03.jpg
The cast looks great! But what in the heck??? From the shots of the bridge, this movie does not honor Star Trek cannon one bit.
Looks like crap. Seriously. Looks like screen shots from “Galaxy Quest” with all the white and glowing blue. And everyone looks more like fans at a convention than characters to be believed. Bleh!
The newest bridge picture is aweful… just aweful… and I mean aweful.
Is that the bridge the crew is in? Is that a window? Why does it say Warp Factor behind the glass in that one shot. Is that Gregory Itzin in the red shirt?
We can see hardly any of the bridge. I don’t know why you are all rushing to judgment on it. Me, I don’t love it or hate it because I can’t tell much about it…but it doesn’t look bad by any stretch.
There’s no doubt that it doesn’t look like TOS though. I’ll grant you that. But being different doesn’t necessarily make it bad.
I don’t see the lamps from The Cage though…are we looking at the same picture? LOL
Oh…and if this has ANY similarities to Space 1999, I am going to LOVE it!!!!
Any comparisons would be a compliment — not a putdown.
Didn’t the bridge pretty much look different in every movie?
TOS
Motion Picture
Trek II & III
Voyage Home
Final Frontier
Undiscovered Country
is there a reason kirk is never in uniform?
The Bridge is a bit bright, and includes that rear standing station a la TNG. I like the “known galaxy” map behind Kirk. Better than those cheap stills from TOS. I am optimistic!
I don’t like the bridge at all. Way too retro, and plastic and we should have a good view of Uhuras station from here along with the turbo lift doors and and and I cannot continue the movie is ruined they did it all wrong I am going to go and harm myself and get drunk and kick a dog and squirt water on a cat, starve a goldfish, poor salt on a slug, vote for a republican, get a tattoo of Jar Jar, and take my Picard doll out of the plastic and give my TNG dvds back to Netflix.
Oh no… the bridge looks like my kitchen!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO
trekkie1701D – October 15, 2008
“”"I found that picture of the bridge about 5 mins ago. I’m not really sure what to think. I mean, it’s not horrible, but from the interviews I expected to to be a lot more TOS like.
I cant wait to see more”"”
That is exactly what I’m thinking.
Ok…now I see the lamps. Meh…not impressed. Why are they black when the rest of the set is white/silver/gray?
The bridge looks weird though…not sure what to make of it yet. I like the Captain’s chair!
What the heck do they need a maitre d station on the bridge for? Table for one please. Something near the viewscreen would be nice….
I am getting very excited for this movie!!!
Re: 107…no, you mean AWFUL. Or are you “full of AWE”?
Bridge looks like one of those new trendy hair salons. I’m OK with that, though.
Is Sulu sporting a shiner?
#111 —
It’s in the article at the top of the page:
“When asked why Kirk was wearing black instead of the standard yellow captain’s shirt, Lindelof said that the black uniform was, in fact, a captain’s uniform — and the color was “significant” to the story surrounding this scene.”
One other thing: I’m not sure I like all those “vanity lights” above the stations. The bridge is too bright…becoming less enthused about the design of the bridge…
EVERYTHING JUST LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!!! EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT JOB!!! ALMOST ON THE VERGE OF TEARS!!!!!
Wow! These are only still images but I can already see the Kirk swagger in Chris Pine!
I’m not quite sure about the Bridge, but I’ll wait until I see the rest of it in context.
I LOVE the uniforms, however.
It also looks like the Cheese is taken out of it, but Uniform wise, they definately have it down.
Now I think that looks damn good.
Say what you want about the bridge looking different. The bridge looked different in every movie, Starfleet architects like to remodel. Plus — that show was made in the 60s … and that’s that.
I think Pine looks a bit young for the Captain’s chair, but he looks good in the full crew picture…strong leader as is appropriate.
I’m looking forward to this movie a whole bunch again.
And…I think Nero looks a lot like Shinzon and I also think that his set shows some phenomenal scope.
This picture impressed me the most.
Bye, Bye, Star Trek.
Somehow I was fortunate enough to experience Star Trek TOS when I was much younger and my imagination could bridge the gap between
the GREAT wrting and some of the poorly rendered onscreen graphics.
But MAN. What did they do to the Enterprise bridge?
WHY!
WHY!
WHY!
WHY!
WHY!
All they had to do was keep the same shape. Maybe a little more of a sleeker and more angular look. With LCDs all around. That’s just not the Enterprise bridge.
OK. I’ll say it. IT SUCKS!.
MASS EFFECT the film!
Uhh… yeah, the bridges were different in every movie. Those bridges showed an evolution in technology, this shows me strange clear panels every where, pointless greeblies (way too cluttered), neon lights and some pink and blue color scheme. It doesn’t even follow the original bridge layout. It wouldn’t have been hard to make something a bit more faithful to the original by sticking to the same layout and color scheme while still making it more functional and updated. This is completely removed from anything resembling TOS. It’s like Joel Shuemaker got a hold of it.
…it doesn’t appear to fit into the Trek universe I know. Looks like J.J.’s creating a whole new universe. How about some originality then, call it something else and put different characters in it.
125 – “I know engineers, the LOOVE to change things …”
… Dr. Leonard H. McCoy, Star Trek: TMP
I wonder if that’s the end of the movie? Kirk tells the crew to go to warp. And the movie ends?
Think its too early to write the bridge off. While I’m personally happy with how it is (why do people want it dark?) on the screen and outside of a hi def still it might have a totally different feel. Personally the first thing I thought of was the bridge from the cage. Which is spot on. Not in terms of it being a replica, but just in feel.
I can’t help but think of a sci fi theme restaurant.
BLINDSIDED!!!
WOW!!
This day is so historic.
The bridge is so over the top- but I like it- it’s like the E-A bridge at the end of TSFS- bright and high-tech.
Uniforms? Mr. Cawley, you said “spot on.” Now I understand perfectly.
This is too much.
I need a drink.
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy…..look at that bridge……I WANT ONE.
I have to digest these pix for a few days. There is ALOT of lucite on that bridge, don’t know how I feel about that yet. It kind of reminds me of the Space 1999 look. Anyone else?
Jack POT!!!!
Chekov looks perfect.
Kirk has a scar on his cheek in that crew shot.
It kind of reminds of me 1998’s “Lost in Space”.
I guess the chick in the miniskirt is Uhura…with that raised communications panel she looks like a greeter at “Chill’s”! I can hear her now, “We’re pretty busy, it’s about a 40 minute wait, but take this vibrating pager and have a drink at the bar”.
DarrenDoc, you read my mind!!!!!!!!
As a REAL Star Trek fan, I have to say that these pics are AWESOME!!!!. To all the haters…in the words of the immortal William Shater…GET A LIFE!!!!
Dr. McCoy explains bridge changes: “I know engineers. They love to change things!”
;-)
#136 Space 1999 wasn’t as brightly lit…and the sets were not as cluttered.
[139] No, that is not Uhura, but a classical redshirt…
Overall I like most of the pictures. I am however not a fan of the changes made to the uniforms. For some reason the bridge screams generic sci-fi show when I see it and doesn’t convey “this is the command center of an interstellar vessel” like the original inspite of the cardboard.
139 – I don’t think that’s Uhura, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she were killed. She’s wearing Read and is not a major character ;-)
Uh trek fan, that woman’s white….
Wow! The bridge looks amazing! And it even has red railings!! Chris Pine looks like Kirk!.. not like Pine doing Shatner doing Kirk. And Urban as Mccoy is eerie cool!. I love what I see so far! And thank God the bridge doesn’t look as dark as it did in the TNG movies. I love this look! Can’t wait to see more in the tariler… but these are probably screen shot from the trailer itself… probably won’t get too much more.
I leave for an hour and we have the revelation of half a dozen more photos! Simply stunning! The bridge shot and the crew photo are remarkable! I can only imagine how I will feel once the trailer is released!
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but is the captain’s chair off-center or something? Would they really make the bridge asymmetrical? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Otherwise, the update looks amazing and May seems so far away…
*sigh*
I hate the bridge.
everyone happy now?
I think it may be a few months before I post here again.
I was along for a good ride. But this is just too disappointing.
Xai, nscates, I’ll check back in January – February to see if you guys are still here and interested in the “Kirk in the movie phaser deal.”
Sorry everyone.
You guyyyyyysss – can you not tell that it is obvious our heroes are probably just out of the academy? There is something horrific which has taken place and they are like the cadets on the ship in Wrath of Khan – without a real captain. Kirk is stepping in to fill the role. Subsequently, that would put them at the ages of, what, 22? This also means that bridge is approximately 10-14 years before TOS. They are years away from the first 5-year mission in this pic.
150 – I think the camera angle might have something to do with it.
.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww……..!!
.
Hmmm Uhura is making her breakfast in that table! hehehe
Anthony – Ecstatic. Thank you for the hard work on our behalf – we LOVE you!
Wow. just wow. So many new things to see, and it all happened so fast. I feel like Kirk when he opened that grain storage compartment on the K-7 space station. The deluge is overwhelming.
Thank you, Anthony! Thank you, everyone on the cast and crew. What a great day! I can nap happy now.
Re: 147…To me she looks Asian. Fancy Chinese restaurant?
The Enteprise bridge looks like the CIC from the new Battlestar Galactica.
Just saw Crappy Entertainment Tonight and they showed more pics, looked like from EW, so even MORE shots on the way!!!!
The blue monitors, the glass info panels, Kirks command chair. All very reminiscent of Mass Effect. They are even using the Korotaki font on the monitors which they used in Mass Effect.
I’m not really digging the bridge. It looks way too flashy and cluttered. The beauty of the original bridge design lied in its simplicity, but in this particular image, it has a Steve Jobs/Daily Show newsroom feel to it. Fortunately, we’re only seeing portions of the bridge. The full scale of it may make sense when the movie shows us the rest.
The bridge looks like something out of the Ikea store. I wasn’t expecting it to look quite so trippy.
Everything else looks cool but the bridge looks like a lounge.
Table for one? What’s the name?
James (pause) T (pause) Kirk
As for the bridge looking cluttered- I think we’re seeing just one small angle, it’s a very busy scene with so many cast members in, but look at the position of the command chair. if that chair is central then there is a lot more bridge we arent seen. I’m sure there will be much wider, sweeping angles on it before long
anthony….happy…..too busy to post…….. need visine……. eyes hurting……..not enough bandwidth on computer…….images take to long….
“Sci-fi theme restaurant”? Lord…keep me from rolling my eyes at that comment.
The Enterprise-D looked like a hotel, this looks like a restaurant. I’m sure everyone would be MUCH happier if it looked like it was made of balsa wood and could only fit 7 people in it at a time. Sorry they didn’t just release “The Cage” into theaters and call it “the new Star Trek movie.” JJ APOLOGIZES IN ADVANCE, GUYS!
I wish I could beam the cynical attitudes out of certain Trek fans.
New bridge = epic fail. They could’ve made it echo the old bridge but moderize it. This looks like a restaurant. What are the video game joysticks doing at the hostess’ table?
New uniforms = cool.
Chris Pine as Kirk = looks way too young.
Karl Urban as Bones = SPOT ON.
A mixture of awfulness and awesomeness.
152 – I’m always happy ;-)
Thank you so much for binging us this info. You are providing a GREAT service, Anthony.
Now get to work on that Giacchino interview :-P
Finally!
I am most impressed by Chris Pine. He is going to be a household name after this.
….and the adventure continues….
RE: #163
“The blue monitors, the glass info panels, Kirks command chair. All very reminiscent of Mass Effect. They are even using the Korotaki font on the monitors which they used in Mass Effect.”
Mass Effect, in my opinion, is perhaps the best Trek-like sci-fi universe I’ve ever seen, very reminiscent of how ENT should have been.
Just took a look at the full-size bridge shot. It looks like the hair salon in our local mall (in fact, I think Uhura is working at a sink).
Next one in the chair gets the Spock cut.
155 & 167 – good points – thanks. I think I get it now. Can’t wait to see the trailer!
Those people criticising the bridge and pointing out the ‘hostess’ table really need to brush up on their knowledge, maybe go watch The Cage and refresh your memories.
To all who say “good bye” and “dissappointed”…..well, don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split ya…..lol….but seriously folks, these pics are fantastic….There is no way we were going to get a “Cauley” version….how anyone could even think that is beyond me….Paramount cannot invest this kind of money for just the “purists”….So far the right touches are there….and if the bridge is different, then so be it….Star Trek is back and we are the better for it. Thanks Anthony for putting this together and I choose not to abandon this sight or the film…this is “Change you need to believe In” so that we have many more years of TREK to come…..Yeah!
STAR TREK LIVES!
I think it’s all awesome. Maybe except for Shinzon…uh, I mean Nero. But I’m sure he’ll be fine. I have faith in JJ, Alex & Roberto.
Uniforms = great
Bridge = looks cool to me
Phaser turrets = the jury’s still out
Mini skirts = awesome!
The photo of the bridge is very missleading, the angle its taken from is horrible, i bet it was intentional! Something about the Yeoman console doesnt add up. If you look closely the pannel behind it is situated outside the railings, while the top part hangs over. The Yeoman is standing inside the railings at the console. Its as if it doesnt belong there!
Is there meant to be a scene depicting the kobayashi maru, im sure i remember reading that somewhere? This could be it, if it is, she could be some sort of observer/examiner and that is a temporary console.
Just a thought
OMG MAN THESE ARE SO TOTALLY SWEET OMG DUDE BRAH LOOK AT THESE PICKS THEY ARE SO KEWL
But seriously
Why does it say Warp Factor behind the glass in that one shot? Are they in spacedock?
The black Captain’s t-shirt/tunic is lame. He looks half-dressed compared to his junior officers.
I still love the bridge from 40 years ago better – plywood and all. I guess those first impressions just stay with you, especially when you’re young…

Because we’re only seeing one angle of the bridge, I’m not too worried. I think the bridge as a whole will be pretty cool. So far I like the way it looks. I think we are all just going to have to use our imagination for a little while. The shot of the view-screen with the crew in the front was pretty cool.
It just looks gaudy as hell. Crossing fingers
Wow. I would not have recognized Karl Urban.
They all look great.
Waitaminute! Foul! Sulu’s in a gold uniform!
(Remember, he was in blue in ‘Where No Man Has Gone Before’.)
That’s it, the canon’s all shot to hell………..
I LOVE IT!
Ooooohhhhh, mannnnnnnnn….Nero looks awesome……….
Everything looks great except the bridge. They really screwed this one up. Big time. They could have given it a modern upgrade but kept the feel of the original. Kinda sad. Oh well. At least everything else looks cool.
To all the Trek fans who are complaining about the bridge, I only have one thing to say:
(William Shatner inflections) GET A LIFE WILL YOU PEOPLE :P
I get the reasons for complaining, but come on!!! Wait until the trailer comes out with more cleaner shots of the Bridge before you complain. I for one like the look. I mean the Enterprise movie bridges changed in each of the movies.
so…its not a reboot? looks like it to me..reminds me of the enterprise bridge from the undiscovered country…kirks chair is wrong. one crew member appears to be at a stand up station. The actors appear to very much resemble the characters fromthe original series. I’m not saying that this movie wont work. I just think that the original enterprise bridge isnt well represented here. I hold further judgement til i see the ship.
Bravo! Everything looks SPOT ON! I can’t wait to see it all in motion. *does a jig*
I will also say that questions of aesthetics pale in comparison to the meat & potatoes of the film: story & character. I am remembering the old “Flames on Optimus Prime” fiasco from the release of Transformers. People were actually *angry* about some flames on a CGI character in a movie called *Transformers*. You don’t have to like the bridge design (even if I think the restaurant comment is absurd) or the uniforms or anything. Whatever, tastes are taste. When it becomes some kind of fetishizing of the source material, then it just gets borderline weird. With Transformers, they went so far as to get Peter Cullen to do the voice, throw in all those catchphrases from the cartoon, and yet people were going into seizures over *flames*.
They got Nimoy. They are going to try to shoehorn this alternate universe into continuity so Star Trek fans don’t lose control of their bodies and burn their DVDs of the old TV shows or something. If the movie is good, then is it possible to divorce yourself of how faithful the mise-en-scene is to TOS? If not, then your reason for appreciating art is beyond my comprehension.
The people who get uppity about the level of recreation of the designs would be better off advocating for an END to Star Trek film, TV and animated adaptations. I’ll say that in most cases, I am pretty against remakes and gratuitous sequels. The only exceptions are series that have shown an ability to stay relevant through the decades. James Bond is the great example of a series that never loses its places in the zeitgeist. That’s because it’s always evolving to meet the tastes of the modern audience. Bond lives because MI6 doesn’t always have to look the same. Bond doesn’t have to be played the same. The stories can be more fantastic or more realistic. There’s elasticity.
If there are enough Star Trek fans who feel it should all stay the same until the end of time and no set designer, writer, director, costume designer, visual effects supervisor or producer can ever add anything new to the mix, then Star Trek will die. You adapt or you die. If you honestly feel Trek should go away for good and remain in the 60s (or the 80s or 90s, depending on your preferences for Trek), then so be it. Just be truthful and say so. I hope that there are enough of us who want to see the NEXT Next Generation of Trek to keep this thing around for my kids to enjoy one day.
It’s so strange seeing someone else as these characters. Also the bridge looks maybe a little different. And about the black shirt Kirk (Pine) is wearing. Don’t they wear black shirts under their uniforms? Maybe some hot alien babe ripped his uniform top off.
Maybe Kirk went on one of those unauthorized by starfleet away missions. Like Worf in Birth Right.
@ 138: Chekov looks perfect? With that really awful brillo pad on his head? Is there some other Chekov you’re referring to? It doesn’t look like Pavel! Maybe they should’ve brought back the Davy Jones wig or something…
I gotta say I’m underwhelmed with most of these pics too. Pegg and Urban look like they might (and I mean “might”) pull it off, but the rest of them just aren’t doing a thing for me. Pine looks too young, and I’m not all convinced that he’ll be the Kirk I remember. I’ll accept that the black shirt is a plot point, but why would Kirk even be in command of anything at this point? Unless it’s the kobyashi maru something, I’m not understanding that.
Like others here, I don’t like the look of the bridge, and I’m getting bad memories of Shinzon too. I do like the look on Quinto’s face as he attacks Kir, um I mean PINE (sorry, he’s just not Kirk to me)though. He really does look like Nimoy there. I’ll wait to rent the DVD, methinks. And even then only if fan reaction is honestly good.
Hey I just watched “Entertainment Tonight” and they showed a FULL picture of the Kelvin from the new “Entertainment Weekly.” It was a quick “Rumor or Real” feature they do talking about William Shatner returning to Star Trek (which they debunked.)
Chekov lools fine. How can anyone pick on his hair? I don’t get it. The original Chekov had a Davey Jones haircut.
I quite agree with the whole Mass Effect look though. I’m not knocking it. This is going to be a Dark Knight killer.
Wow….WOW! Chris Pine IS Captain James T Kirk!!! Karl Urban IS Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy! Zachary Quinto IS Mr Spock! They’re all fantastic. The uniforms are perfect…PERFECT! The new bridge and captain’s chair are stunningly spectacular!
Thank you Abrams, Orci, Kurtzman, and all others involved in this project! You’ve given me back my heroes!
The original crew is back!
#196 – Shaun
“I’ll wait to rent the DVD, methinks. And even then only if fan reaction is honestly good.”
Uh huh. You’ll be there opening day just like all the rest of us!
One last thing about the bridge before I get lynched by the STINO crowd (”Star Trek” In Name Only).
I’m sure there were a lot of Doctor Who fans who saw the redesigned TARDIS interior and said “OMG, that’s not the TARDIS control room! It looks like Farscape!”
Now, Doctor Who is one of the top 3 shows in Great Britain. All those little kids clutching their TARDIS toy. I’m guessing they don’t give a damn how it looked in 1967.
The bridge isn’t too bright. Thank Abrams for not making it look like a 1980’s dark submarine interior like the movies. That’s fine for a refit Enterprise or NCC 1701-A but not the TOS era Enterprise. Although, the screens look waaaaay too advanced, more advanced than the NCC1701-D.
Is Nero sitting on bridge of a ruined Enterprise? Sure looks that way…
‘Although, the screens look waaaaay too advanced, more advanced than the NCC1701-D.’
So they should tbh. I want this bridge to look more advanced than 2008 and 1967.
Is it me or is McCoy missing his delta shield in the bridge crew pic?
OMG this is AWESOME!!!!!!! :)
This looks horrible. The designs look horrible. And not as redresses of old Trek, but just bad design, period. I really had high hopes for this, but the more I see, the less I like it.
#206 – John from Cincinnati
No, his delta shield is on his uniform… it’s just the angle he is at and the fold in the shirt.
with all that welding going on outside, I’m surprised the inside would be so sleek. ;)
Im laughing out loud at the purist naysayers… bitter old fools.
This looks pretty good. Updated, yet retro. Exactly what the creators said they were going to do. The same but different. I like how the uniforms only have one stripe on the end of the sleeves. Very much in line with the two pilots edition of the uniforms.
Anyone who is complaining that it doesn’t look enough like TOS needs to get a life.
The important thing to Star Trek is the story and the character, not where the turbolifts are positioned. I once heard a Trekkie going on about Starship Exeter’s superiority to New Voyages/Phase II because the Exeter people remembered that turbolifts have to move slightly to the side before opening up to the bridge on a Constitution class starship.
All you people who are so obsessed with the look of things (I can see you quite clearly #196), are morons. You’re the reason Trek has struggled so much. Enterprise (which had fantastic writing in its last couple seasons and adhered to canon better than any other spin-off), would have been starting its seventh season this year if not for people like you.
I assume the tactical station will be gone by the end of the movie. Along with that red…skirt. At least that’s what I read from Lindelof’s comment here.
…are those the weird desk lights from ‘The Cage’ ?
O___o
215… yup
JJ Abrams’ “vision” is going to ruin Star Trek.
Just look at that bridge picture, the Enterprise bridge is HORRIBLE!
To 193 (Dave): Kindly, more than 20 people have commented that the bridge connotes some kind of “themed” feel to them, be it a restaurant or whatever. People see what they see. It’s about aesthetics. Certainly no one has to agree, but please be tolerant enough to let people voice their opinions. It’s quite enough to say you disagree. There’s no reason to add quantifiers like “absurd.” Thanks man.
In addition, this isn’t taking a cartoon, as in Transformers, and basically changing the “costume” of a character, this is an undertaking that re-designs every aspect of a television series that has elevated the actors, and the characters they played, to iconic status – something that many have been passionate about for over 40 years.
Let people have their opinions here and hopefully the creative folks behind this endeavor will put everyone’s mind at ease when the movie rolls out.
I too want to share Star Trek with my children and I hope it catches their imagination just as it captured mine. However, this is asking me to let my kids discover Kirk and company in a whole new way that isn’t my Kirk and company. I begrudge no one for trying to re-invent and re-invigorate this franchise and hopefully elevate it again. That said, I have a thing for those old guys and it’s a bit weird and disconcerting for me to see this.
I want this to be good, I want Star Trek to live again and given the strength of the story and acting, I’ll hopefully get there. But allow me (and others) a brief bout of culture shock. We’ll come around if it’s good.
#213, with all due respect to you, if ENT were in its 7th season, we would not be getting a big budget revitalization of Star Trek on the big screen. I’ll gladly take that over 3 more years of a TV show on The CW.
I really like the shots…suprised that they gave us the Spock Kirk one—spoiler—as well as the bridge shot—spoiler. The rest were pretty cool. To be honest if they would’ve gave just the Nero we all would’ve wet our pants.
JJ Abrams “vision” is going to do wonders for Star Trek.
Just look at that bridge picture! The Enterprise bridge is FANTASTIC!
Two words: pinky ring.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :DDDDDD
I’m going to be spastically high for the next day and half. Who said Trekgasm? I think I’m going to have to agree with that summary. :D
Bridge… uh, will take some staring at before I make a real judgement. First impression is very ARGH GET IT AWAY EEWW NO, but maybe it’ll grow on me. That seems very possible.
The characters are, I gotta say, way unsettling to look at, at first. (Sans Bones, of course. ILU whoever cast Urban. Srsly<333) Especially Chekov who I’ve *never* been very happy with, and the same with Harry. Uhura, though, looks superb– except for one thing. Was ANYONE else expecting her hair to be the same way it is in the show? Anyone? Really, that ponytail throws the whole thing off for me. D: But she’s still great looking, and I think she’ll pull it off okay. same with Kirk, he looks alright too.
Now I just gotta get used to the bridge, but the pictures of McCOy will be keeping me happy enough for a while. :D
Re: Kirk on ice pic–Is he getting out of an escape pod? With the Big E’s call numbers??
And I certainly hope that Spock is trying to keep Kirk froom getting hurt, and not throttling his captain!
Carl Urban is channeling De Forrest Kelly fabulously, no?
You must be joking, that’s the bridge? It looks like something a 12 year old would draw during study hall. The original bridge might have looked a little cheesy, but it also looked functional, like someone actually spent some time thinking about what a working ship’s bridge might be like. This is like something out of a tacky nightclub, I almost expect to see chicks in G strings dancing in cages in the background.
I’m sorry, but after all the hype, all the interviews with everyone saying how much they respected the original, this is a sign that they just threw it all out the window and sat down with the chrome plastic and lightbulb commission and just said “hey, go to town”.
Pathetic. If this is their idea of respecting the original AND their sense of design, then they have failed dismally. I expect crap sets like that in made for TV movies like “rock monster”, but not in a zillion dollar remake of something like Star Trek. Epic Fail!
The bridge kind of reminds my of the one at the end of star trek 4.
The whiteness and brightness of it anyway.
The uniforms are good looking. Every movie though seems to like having those materials that have the tiny symbols on them. Like spiderman and supermans new suits. In this case starfleet insignias.
Love Simon Pegg… but maybe a little more hair in the front lol
Just nit picking
Wow, these really make me anxious to see the movie. What would make Spock so mad he’d want to choke Kirk. I am going to have butterflies in my stomach for the next six months, while I wait to see the movie!
#218, I respect your response and you point of view. I suppose some of the attitudes on here frustrate me. I care about Trek, but then so do all of the naysayers. I suppose I want this to be a transcendent event and a happy time. People who are down on this have a right to their opinion, as you say. They care, but they see this as a step in the wrong direction. I also have a right to say I disagree with them, though, do I not? I hold no ill will toward anyone, but I think I should be able to speak my mind about what’s being said. It doesn’t have to be as heated as my first comment, but I feel a need to speak up.
cannot breathe, cannot think, cannot move anymore … can only sit in front of my screen like an owl .. .gaping
So thank you, …
I wonder if Nero finds the shattered Enterprise and goes back in time to find out what happened?
These are the pictures I’ve been waiting for. Bridge, crew, uniforms… All I have to say is the following:
That bridge is all wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
WRONG.
W
R
O
N
G
WRONG!!!!!
The crew is passable at best, Pine actually does have the presence of the Shat. Urban looks like Matt LeBlanc during the last 3 seasons of Friends.
Yelchin’s hair is… too curly.
My final point, how the hell can anyone accept this but have dogged Enterprise for it’s “overly advanced” look?
I wasn’t expecting a carbon copy of the TOS sets and I’ve no trouble at all with them retconning the look to make it more modern, even if that does make it look more advanced than what we got on TNG and later shows. This iteration of Trek has to stand on its own and draw in a new audience; if that means shaking up the established look and throwing that aspect of continuity for a loop, so be it. I for one won’t lose one second of sleep over that decision.
The cast all look great to me, Pine in particular really channels Kirk in that picture of him in the command chair on the bridge. I love the uniforms – retro but still futuristic. The bridge is very interesting, lots of layers to it and somewhat reminiscent of a painting I once saw for an unused Star Trek: Phase 2 bridge concept. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the sets look like.
The only thing I’m disappointed about is that this won’t be premiering on December 25. It would have been the perfect Christmas present.
Easily!
#219 – Dave
Is it just me, or do you sound like someone more eager to see the movie than wanting to wait to rent it?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to see Trek getting such a huge revival like this. But if there are fans that are going to nitpick on something as ridiculous as set design and whether the movie might contradict one throw away line from some episode in the 2nd season or whatever, then I honestly fear for the existence of the franchise. Especially now that the ORIGINAL fans (as in pre-TNG fans) are getting old and seem to be the most nitpicky of all, I say it’s time that the reigns get handed over to some fresh minds and some fresh fans. As long as the characters feel right, I’m perfectly happy. And Abrams, Orci and Kurtzman have given me plenty of reassurance that they knew what they were doing with those characters.
Dave – As I said, voice your opinion, we all do. The internet is a great apple-box we can all stand on and speak our mind. I only feel that malaise when people add to their opinion by denigrating other people’s opinions in the same breath. By all means, SHOUT your opinions in joyish revelry, but attacking other people’s opinions brings us all down to a nasty little place where people then feel they need to defend their position and it spirals out of control shortly after that heh.
Well, into the melee. I’ll see this, but don’t feel the need to run out. That bridge is very Next Gen-like, and I see why they might have added that desk there, but all that glass just looks decorative, not utilitarian. In my opinion the original bridge looks more “real”. I’ll have to see the movie to judge the characters. Maybe putting Pine in Black is a way to differentiate him from you know who. Can it be Trek without Kirk’s fancy dash-dot-dash stripes of gold braid? They gave everybody one stripe, maybe Kirk has two. Are the characters too young for anybody over 30? This could be interesting, though.
I WANT to be excited!
I REALLY want to be excited!
I REALLR REALLY want to be exited!
But……………………
Kirk’s a rogue. And perhaps wearing the ‘gold shirt’ is the final sign of him accepting his fate as a natural born leader? That’s my guess. Maybe he won’t wear it until the very end.
Also with the bridge I’m guessing if we peel back everything, like the extra console, we will actually see the bridge that we remember. Lets face it things will need to blow up wont they? And maybe the idea is that the bridge gets refit after the movie so it resembles more of the TOS look….or I’m letting my fanboy mind go wild. Either way.
Anyways I’m digging the photos. And want more…
Welcome to the iBridge, it’s more expensive, less functional, and way flashier than the bridges of old!
Nice pics. I’m likeing them. Here’s to the new movie, and a trailer in November.!!
I have an idea.. for all the people not happy that this doesn’t look like the 60’s TOS.. do this:
Go buy a large plama screen TV.
Get the original TOS on DVD (not the remastered, the original series)
Wait til May and then watch that on opening day… you will all be much happier.
For myself, I am 41. I have been watching Trek for as long as I remember. TOS was my favourite series.. Treks 1-6 were my favourite movies. I consider myself to be a TOS purist – yet, I am open enough to be really liking what i am seeing now.
I think this is EXACTLY what Trek needs to take it to the next generation (no pun intended).
If you want a carbon copy of TOS… i think someone else said this early on… you would have ONLY been happy if the released THE CAGE and called it a new movie.
Keep on trekkin’!
Spock! That’s not how you do the Vulcan Neck Pinch! Urk!
[...] Nick 10.15.08 It doesn’t look that bad, but I think it looks terrible! If that makes any [...]
AWESOME
#235 – McCoy seems to have two stripes on his uniform.
#238 – Yeah, that’s what I was thinking–Steve Jobs’ Enterprise.
Of course, Lindeoff said it was A Captain’s Uniform, not *the* captain’s uniform.
Incredible! It looks different, yes. But at the same time, it feels right. God-willing, this is going to be an awesome film! Come on, May 8!
I so wet my pants at work when I saw these. I was right about the prominence of Nero’s brow/nose that I saw in the original image.
You guys are a riot complaining about how JJ has “ruined” Trek, but not because he has sullied trek’s vision, but rather he’s sullied YOUR vision of Trek. Did anyone here honestly think JJ was going to let his creative hands be tied because a small ( and I mean small) amount of potential viewers were going to cry foul because his Enterprise bridge wasn’t a perfect copy of the TOS bridge? He would be an absolute fool to do that.
I for one love the new designs, and if they don’t fit into canon, or rather someone else’s idea of what canon is, I really don’t care. Maybe after 40+ years of Trek fandom, it’s time for some shaking up, to get Trek and its’ fans out of this lull we’ve been in.
Besides, does anyone think Nimoy (long considered the “conscience” of Trek) was upset because the bridge didn’t match the design of the “Cage” bridge that he first stepped onto in 1964? Even if he wasn’t crazy about it, he wasn’t childish enough to let him keep it out of this movie. Nimoy has said time and again that the script was what won him over, not the faithful recreation of any uniforms or designs from the TOS era. The story & characters and the ideas are what make Trek great. Everything else is there to enhance the environment and make it seem believable, but they’re just the icing on the cake, not the whole dessert.
It’s amazing. A Satanist taking a dump on a Bible couldn’t elicit the anger and vitriol that these pictures are generating among some of the posters here.
I am about to pass out from excitement over these new screenshots! They look awesome! The new bridge looks insane! Keep em coming!
That Enterprise shot is gonna be sweet.
My problem with the bridge is that it looks like a design from 2008. Trek has always been pretty decent (not perfect) about making timeless designs, with a few notable exceptions. But this looks like, “What would Trek be in 2008? I know! Multiple LCD panels flowing into one another!”
The shape of the bridge is hard to make out – is it circular? Looks like a rectangular room by that shot..
[...] photos from the upcoming Star Trek movie have been distributed to the web. You can find links to them from here. This here’s a photo of some of the crew on the bridge of the [...]
#238 – The iBridge – PERFECT description.
#248 – It isn’t MY vision I want to see, but Gene Roddenberry’s vision. The original Trek has a particular look that all subsequent versions of Trek have paid homage to in one way or another. “Enterprise” did a version of the original bridge, and it looked pretty good considering it was 40 years old. It still worked. I’m not saying it needs to be a carbon copy, but a little bit of the old would have made me REAL excited for this.
The unis are perfect. updated just enough. the bridge design is more functionally detailed than TOS. Capn’s chair is ergonomic. From what I see: So far, so AWESOME!
I like the pics… for the most part.
The new bridge looks like a salon.
Anthony – very happy!!! THANK YOU so much for running this great site!
….and the adventure continues….
#252 Not rectangular. look at the slight curve of the control panel, OLED screens, ceiling and the railing behind Kirk.
#240
I too take myself to be a Trek purist. The thing that always made Trek stand out to me is that it was more about story and less about flash(unlike things like, say, Star Wars).
I’m not pissed it doesn’t look like the 60’s, in fact, there are plenty of CG artists who have posted re-imaginings which keep just the right amount of the original while not making it look like it’s totally different. I know outright that it just can’t look like the original eps. But this being “respectful” to TOS isn’t something I see unless you count “respectful” as saying “Well, the bridge on TOS is a room. So is this.”
I don’t mind the uniforms, save for that printed logo on it. Why does EVERYTHING now have something like that on it(as pointed out, Spiderman and Superman). I like the concept of the black under shirt and uniform top on it, it’s more in keeping with the stuff that came after while still being faithful enough to the original in overall design.
This look, to me, is aimed at people with short attention spans, people who can’t keep the story as their focus and as such, need as much crap going on in the background as possible(this is my theory for why anyone was able to sit through the Prequel Star Wars trilogy, “Hey, the acting/story are bad, but look in the background, is that the Millenium Falcon? Yes, yes it is, oh, hey, blaster fight, cool!”).
I do quite like the look of Nero, Pine, Quinto, and the uniforms. But that isn’t enough so far for me to be able to ignore how flashy everything is.
It’s gonna take a little time for me to get used to the new look (especially the bridge), but I like it. Wow, I’m amazed how much Karl Urban looks like DeForrest Kelley did as Bones. I’m also impressed with the USS Kelvin and can’t wait to see it in the movie.
I know many have commented how similar Nero looks to Shinzon and I agree they look very similar. I might be wrong, but I have a feeling that there’s more to that than Mr. Abrams and company just thinking the “Shinzon” look would make Nero appear more intimidating. I think Nero is either a Shinzon supporter who was outlawed after the Scimitar was destroyed or he’s Shinzon’s son or descendent. Both theories would explain Nero’s look and why he’s named after the Roman emperor (which seems to me to be more than just that the Romulans are based on the Romans). But that’s just my two cents.
Here’s that Entertainment Tonight pic of the USS Kelvin!
http://i38.tinypic.com/xnrpsm.jpg
It’s a cool looking ship!
ok i think i like it for the most part. It seems as tho JJ took the basics for the design and influenced it in a way that shows how our actual technology is evolving in terms of appearance and design
The bridge comments ARE really right on- and funny, everyone!
I’d order a vodka at that bar… from her… any day.
One thing’s for sure- Herman Zimmerman didn’t design it.
#258 – Yep, nevermind, I was looking at the cropped pic from above – looking at the full pic from MTV, i can see its a circular bridge. Cool.
…Someone tell Pine that N’Sync is going to sue over stealing one of their hairstyles :-P
I just want to know two things:
1 chrome again?
2 when did starfleet start contracting with ikea?
I just remember conversations about making the ship feel real… I feel like I’m getting a major Andromeda vibe from this thing (and not in a good way).
That being said, I’ve never liked JJ’s production designer’s work when it comes to tech sets. the guy is obsessed with neon blue and chromes… sigh
I find myself more intrigued than anything by these images, but I’m by no means convinced this movie will work, and likely wont be till I see it. MI:3 is hardly an affirming factor, due to it basically being “Alias: the Movie,” less so mission: impossible. So we’ll see.
Uh, isn’t Leonard Nimoy supposed to be in this?
Lol, at the Kelvin ship. Here’s lookin’ at you kid!
254. Agent Johnson,
I accept the idea that you would want to see GR’s vision on screen. The only problem is, we were never going to, really. Every incarnation of Trek is influenced in one way or another by Roddenberry, but I would argue they are even more influenced by the creative teams who work on them. Honestly, the best we could possibly hope for is that this movie embraces the themes that Roddenberry wanted Trek to have, that the characters are true to their origins, and that it’s entertaining as well as thought-provoking. This movie, by the sheer fact that Roddenberry cannot be involved, is obviously going to have a different feel to it, in part because JJ and CO. are going to put their own creative stamp on it, and that’s okay.
251. Agent Johnson “But this looks like, ‘What would Trek be in 2008?’”
The reason TOS looks timeles is because they had great designers who were influenced by modernist design. But it looks like 1960s designers view of the future. All we have is a couple of stills. I bet JJ had his production designer/design team create a bridge as it could be. Where every button, bell and whistle has a raison d’être. Can’t wait!
“Yep, nevermind, I was looking at the cropped pic from above – looking at the full pic from MTV, i can see its a circular bridge”
…And looking at the detail, it’s obvious they stole the styling from Tron. I think we’re doomed, kids.
When do we get to see the man….Leonard Nimoy in costume as Spock?
For me that will be the moment that Star Trek returns to glory after being watered done by so many sub par down versions of the real thing.
I too am a TOS purist i guess, but im open and up for this movie. The changes which were inevitable are generally good i think and im trying to be positive. we were never going to get everything we wanted but im pleased to say that i think we have got more than i bargained for. These pics still have the original series look to them but its updated for a new audience.
In many ways the bridge couldnt remain the same and needed alteration. I think this was a difficult task. Im suprised by it for sure and expected more of a ‘The cage’ look to it but there you go. Its certainly has a fresh look to it.
at the end of the day we have capt kirk, mr spock and the brave crew of the starship enterprise NCC1701 back – Star Trek has finally come home, thank goodness for that. The human adventure is just beginning.

You’re all smoking crack, that looks terrible, chris pine (who?) as Kirk? Truly horrible casting.
This film looks like it will scar the Star Trek franchise irreversibly.
The film’s makers should all be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
Oh my God. Wow. Oh my God. I wasn’t expecting THIS tonight! My daughter (age 13, the next generation of fans) screamed as loud as I did at every picture — especially the cast shot and the amazing bridge. My God, look how Pine sits in that chair. He has Kirk nailed.
THANK YOU, Anthony — one image would not have been enough. Finally!!
I will snap up a copy of EW.
You know… at first this bridge picture began to upset me… Like wow! It’s not the original command post of the USS Enterprise but in a unique way it is. However after a few minutes I went back and looked at the pictures again.
Upon my second viewing I realized that this is NOT original Trek; it’s something similar, but meant to be different.
What’s that classic, key phrase of Star Trek…? Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. With that in mind, I fully embrace this new Star Trek, the crew, the look of bridge (yes, even that weird console standing next to Dr. McCoy), and anything else that will be given in the coming weeks and months.
Welcome to the new Star Trek. It’s different… That’s GOOD. We’ve had the same ol’look for over 40 years. Give this newness a chance and let’s see what Mr. Abrams can do.
By the way, my sincerest gratitude to the production designers, directors, and writers for keeping the look and feel close to the Original Series as much as possible and yet… providing us with completely new.
Let’s Boldly Go…TOGETHER… with Star Trek in 2009!
I, for one, am feeling a bit more at ease with the concept.
However, having said that, I am frustrated that all of the genre films (such as “Dark Knight”, “Superman Returns”, etc.) seem to all have the same costume designer – one who said “Let’s really make sure they understand they’re watching a _____ movie and throw the logo into every major costume!”
Really? Is it just me, or is this a silly notion? I don’t have anything in my closet that shares these design concepts.
I have serious concerns about the bridge design. I agree it looks like a “theme” space, like maybe they moved the Star Trek Experience from the Hilton into the set… but I do like the Chair.
From the look of who’s wearing what, it seems that some original TOS “canon” elements (such as Sulu’s time in the phyics dept. and everyone’s rank, and Chekov’s assignment) are being shunted to the back burner.
I agree that the story has to come first. Story is the most critical item. And for Nimoy to return to “Trek” (and even acting in general…) the story has to be a seriously solid one. I hope.
I’m reserving judgement on the bridge design until I see more.

In the shot of Kirk & McCoy on the bridge, doesn’t McCoy look like Spalding in Caddyshack, when he’s getting ready to eat his boogers?
Seriously though, thanks Anthony for the pic’s, it’s great to finally see something from the film.
Holy crap! finally we get some real honest to goodness production pictures, super excited!!
Bones needs the short-sleeve medical uniform shirt, otherwise he nails it. I always thought Andy Serkis would have been a good McCoy, but Urban seems to be fine.
Looks like Syd Mead had a hand in the bridge design, not what I expected. If it wasn’t for people in the photo wearing recognizable Starfleet uniforms, I would not have thought I was looking at the Enterprise bridge.
79.
I completely agree. The “desk” doesn’t seem to go with anything on the bridge. Don’t possibly know what the point of it is.
OMFG!!!!!!!
I Cannot Believe It’s True!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no….This is Happening!!!!!! STAR TREK IS back Ladies of Gentlemen
Looks cool. Gonna see the movie. So… thanks for the early (replacement?) Christmas gift.
Keep us out of this.
Mmm yes the bridge design has me a smidge worried, it’s a bit too clean and the interfaces are bit too Tom Cruise’s console from Minority Report looking.
NERO IS ON THE BRIDGE OF THE ENTERPRISE !!!!!! LOOK ! IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE ENTERPRISE BRIDGE IS WRECKED !!!! holy shit, this looks really good. Can’t wait. I’m dying to see this movie.
Oh and why does the chick in the red at the “desk” have what looks like two handheld barcode scanners in holsters?
That…is…AWESOME!
This Enterprise is so clean! I want to live in that bridge and press those buttons!
And that actor who plays Bones is not so hulky like he was on Lord of the Rings, glad he lost a lot of weight!
This is not a disaster. ;)
Awesome updates, Anthony! I admit, I squealed with excitement after seeing all of these pics, lol! I like how the actors look in their
