VIDEO of Entertainment Tonight Star Trek Exclusive April 24, 2009
by TrekMovie.com Staff , Filed under: Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback
As promised, Friday night’s broadcast of Entertainment Tonight included an exclusive sneak peek at the new Star Trek. The segment had about two minutes of footage, including interviews, some behind-the-scenes shots and some new footage from the film. Check it out below. [SPOILERS]
ET Exclusive look at "Star Trek"
Star Trek and Entertainment Tonight – a tradition
Entertainment Tonight is currently produced by CBS Paramount Television and for the history of the film franchise was part of the Paramount family. And so it is no surprise that ET has run many ‘exclusive sneak peeks’ at past Trek films (and TV series). Here are a couple of ‘classic’ ET/Star Trek clips.
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Also from 1986 – ET Star Trek 20th Anniversary: Part 1 & Part 2
Thanks to our friend Kelvington for the new ET clip

Dang, that Mary Hart is a freakin android. She looks the same, still has that cheezy charm and that same smarmy smile.
It begins
1st
24th?
dang it!
Nice spoiler there at the end of the video. Way to go ET.
QUinto? or Keento?
Love the old clips
“A quarter every hour for me in the meter”…. Damn not any more in this city!
It looks like Nero was mad at Captain Robau for telling him what day it was, lol.
Robau: “Hey man, it’s only Tuesday.”
Nero: “NNOOOOOO!!!” [then proceeds to kill him]
Star Trek isnt the only thing with awesome effects. They need to do the same for Mary Hart to keep her looking like that with that fake smile
Lame end for badass Robau.
ST:TFB is going to be sweet,,,
Im STILL Spoiler free,,,!!!
( only the true fans are )
:o)
Dangit, Picard’s Barber, now that’s all I’m going to think about during that scene!
Poor Robau. In the very first interviews they said he was a heroic Captain. He doesn’t look that way here.
Was that Hell Boy sidled up to the bar next to Kirk?
still think the clip was too quick. I CANT WAIT ANYMORE!
This year was just flying by..THEN ..april came
and now its dragging.
lol
Hmmmm….how spoilery are we talking about here? I’d hate to blow it now, this close to the end…
So the ET video is basically a “do you have a shot with these hot male celebs” segment… why else would they put up the dude’s age, hometown, and relationship status.
On the plus side I totally rememeber the ST:VI exclusive and being anxiously excited to see it. 1991 was such a good year for Trek: the 25th anniversary celebration, TNG – Unification 2 parter, and The Undiscovered Country :D
On his website Zachary pronounces Quinto the way an English speaking person would with a Q sound not a K sound. I am shocked that the “reporters” on Entertainment Tonight didn’t do even the most basic research. I happened to catch that episode and most of it was devoted to Twilight so I guess that says it all about who they think their audience is.

No, Robau made the deadly mistake of telling Nero that he had a case of the Mondays. :O
sucks to be Robau
The sad thing is, ET used to be an actual entertainment news reporting program.
Since then they’ve really degraded into a “where are they now” for the D list of former entertainers kinda show.
For about 15 years now all they’ve done is report what Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith are up to. ( They are still doing, “Our exclusive interview with Anna Nicole’s dog walker!” type stories on a daily basis. Sad.)
Sorry ladies! Mr. Spock’s less than married but more than betrothed!
What was so “Exclusive” about that?? It was more lame than exclusive. Entertainment Tonight sucks!! Boooo on them!
Again. Why didnt Robau prepare to get out of the way of Neros lance as he charged him?
The fact that the new ET clip about the new film was short and didn’t mention the other series’ bothers me
1:48 “You can check out the hunks of Star Trek when it flies in theaters May 8th!”
This sounds like the movie is going to crash into my theater. Will I have to step over the hunks of Star Trek to get to my seat?
I wish the Canadian theaters would have online tickets to purchase! None of our theaters have tickets for this yet.
Just watched Simon Pegg on Johnathan Ross last night. He had some nice stories about working with the cast and especially Nimoy. Speaking of which, does anyone know how much screentime Nimoy has because he does not feature heavily in the advertising.
I hate American TV. So over the top and camp. I look forward to Film 2009.
They should have used that trailer music in the film.. It blows everything we have heard of the real score out of the water!
Oh I have loads of video during the time of Trek’s 25th celebration.
ET, Showbiz Today (NOT that abortion titled Showbiz Tonight w/BJ Hummer!) lots of ST VI promotion too!
-cs™
Just got my ticket for 7pm on the 7th, love how they’ve pretty much moved it up a day. But yeah, that ET clip was kinda cool, but shoulda had way more. Its gonna be interesting to see where this takes the franchise, but I do think it’ll draw a lot more people in.
Wow!
Looking at the old clips from ET against the latest, sure does look as if it has gone way downhill in it’s interesting content category. Or is this more evidence that the perception of people today generally having shorter attention spans and only being interested in meaningless trivia is actually true?
Sorry, forget what I was talking about, I saw something shiny…. :)
What’s unsaid is that Entertainment Tonight and other “entertainment” shows have ignored Trek in recent years until its nouveau popularity. Gee whiz, Star Trek might be a blockbuster…let’s cover it since our show is owned by our company CBS/Paramount. Same limited mentality focuses on American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, The Biggest Losers, The Celebrity Apprentice, The Bachelor, and other crap.
As I’ve mentioned before, E.T. selectively ignores genre coverage of singificant stories such as the passing of legends like Jonathan Harris or Patrick McGoohan.
Mark Steines’ adoration of Cher is enough to make me hurl.
E.T.’s fixation on Julianne Hough is a joke. Give her pointed ears and I might take notice.
“What’s unsaid is that Entertainment Tonight and other “entertainment” shows have ignored Trek in recent years until its nouveau popularity. Gee whiz, Star Trek might be a blockbuster…let’s cover it since our show is owned by our company CBS/Paramount.”
Actually this is not entirely true. I remembered they featured Nemesis (they had the broadcast debut of its trailer) and some other news items. I seem to even remember some ET pieces from First Contact when I was young! I *think* they covered the red carpet. Also ET (at least I’m sure it was ET) went to the set of “Enterprise” a few times and did short pieces with the actors. In fact, I remember one or two of the reporters got to be extras on the show as aliens.
#26 – “Again. Why didnt Robau prepare to get out of the way of Neros lance as he charged him?”
Didn’t you see his face? He said “Bring it on, biotch”
Yeah, Captain Robau is just THAT badass.
I don’t think that Capt. Robau dies by Nero’s hand. I think that Robau blocks Nero’s attack with such force that he creates his own time rift and is transported to the future thus living out the rest of his bad-ass existence in an alternate future timeline. =) Sounds feasible, right?
My fav ET clip is Star Trek II
I couldn’t watch the clip because for some mysterious reason I started having seizures as soon as it started. I wonder why?
Seinfeld Reference
Man, I even REMEMBER seeing the ET “TREK II” clip for the first time back in 1981!
Oh ET…. I remember when you were Entertainment journalism, not tabloid television. Glad I didn’t cancel dinner plans to see 10.546 seconds of new footage. That said, i did DVR the spot and in Maine at least they listed Chris Pine as single. I thought it odd that Pine and Keento were both single. Worried me after all this bromance stuff I keep reading about.
Its clear that Paramount wants this to be a “more than fans” event… not ONCE did ET use the term “Trekkie”.
And like Kramer on “Seinfeld”, the sound of Mary Hart’s voice sends me into convulsions.
That new (at least for me) scene in the bar – the alien between Kirk and Uhura… is that the same kind of alien that Morn was from Deep Space Nine? Kinda looks like it a little.
Mary Hart – it’s QUINTO rhymes with PINTO, moron….
Unless you want us to start calling you Mary Fart….
She can’t pronounce half of the Stars names properly….
WE, know how, because it’s Star TREK, not Star TRACK….
- W -
* As fans we learn this stuff early on *
Anyone recall back when ET first started way back when (when it was actually a worthwhile show to watch) the 1701 from TMP was a part of the opening montage?
lolol….
”don’t you want to know my name before you completely reject me ? ”
”i’m fine without it ”
lol, that was hilarious.
emm, seriously wheres the rest of it haha, oh well, not even two weeks left!! ahhhh
// I thought it odd that Pine and Keento were both single. Worried me after all this bromance stuff I keep reading about. //
This is very innnnnteresting….
ummm! Chris is single…..Hollywood loves to bring up gosip about stars and chris happened to get caught up in it! I have a friend who works at paramount and knows a few of the stars of trek .
Anyone who doubts Pines relationship status should read Mens Health May09. Is that a model or his GF ?
This film is going to pwn in the UK, I booked my ticket a week ago, thats like 3 weeks before the films release?? MOST of the seats were already booked and they’ve even listed a midnight showing on the 6th which was also almost completely sold out, ALREADY!! That’s not including the ammount of people who are just going to turn up on the day.
My girlfriend works at the cinema and she has never seen such hype or demand for any other big blockbuster since Mama Mia!!
More than half of ET’s show is telling the viewers what’s coming later in the show. Then, when that segment is shown, it’s same material as the preview, plus a little bit more. Mary Hart gets paid handsomely for looking all glam and regurgitating all that fluff, plus sometimes she gets a cameo in movies. Not a bad gig.
50. (Sovak)
I thought he was dating Beau Garrett? (Not that I care about that kind of crap.)
#52 I’m glad the movie is getting attention there ….but please don’t mention Trek and MamaMia! in the same posting…LOL =/\=
I watched the east-coast feed of Entertainment Tonight, and for Chris Pine’s bio, they said he was single. I guess someone called them up before it aired on the west coast??
Yea ET is a brutal show, even watching the beginning before the star trek preview was painful. It was so short I should have just waited for it on the web. I can’t believe people actually regularly watch gossip shows.
Heads up if anybody gets Canadian TV channels, the Space channel will have an in depth look at star trek on May 1st at 10:00pm (eastern standard time.) It will be a half an hour preview so it is going to be MUCH better than the terribly short ET segment. They also will start the Star Trek movie marathon starting sunday and going right till May 7th.

I was hoping John Tesh was going to mention that he got to play a Holographic Klingon on TNG.
//I watched the east-coast feed of Entertainment Tonight, and for Chris Pine’s bio, they said he was single. I guess someone called them up before it aired on the west coast??//
Or the studio wanted to squash those rumors about him and Quinto. ;)
Maybe by single they mean not married. And by not married they mean available. And by avialable they mean Bi ? Hollywood propagada machine is winding up !
wow… such cynics.
The most accurate parody of Entertainment Tonight is in the film “For Your Consideration”– Fred Ward is the Mary Hart-esque moron and Jane Lynch is the other person (they keep changing them out, so I’ve stopped keeping track).
I got my tickets for the 7th @ 7pm in IMAX! Words can’t describe how excited I am!
Will I be a dork if I wear a Kirk-gold T-Shirt and bring my XI phaser??
@ 62
LOL . I still laugh @ her agent “I’ve been on this new world wide inter-web ” but did you mean Fred Willard ?
@63
yes
Mt TiVo only lists one upcoming special on ST09 and it isn’t even until after opening night. The TVGN is doing something on May 9th.
I’m still working on tickets for the May 2nd screening in Houston, but it seems it is pretty exclusive and you can only get them through various contests.
Not having any luck yet.
Help me, Bob Orci. You’re my only hope.
I’ve got IMAX passes for a May 6th preview, but I’m trying to get into a May 2nd preview.
Confused reader from the UK here… does that video show the “exclusive”, or is it just the ads for it?
Wait, I thought I read that Quinto was gay, right?
So, of course, the Clydes at ET call him “single”.
Jesus. Well, I suppose technically they are right. Don’t want to scare the people in Peoria now, do we?
I wasn’t surprise when it said “single”
69-
It isn’t just Peoria. God knows Star Trek fans aren’t ready for it.
I suspect Takei still gets quite a bit of hate mail. And I recall plenty of sarcastic comments from folks who will “never watch TOS in the same way again” and so forth.
Gotta love that “evolved” Federation sensibility at work. Or maybe, many Star Trek fans are simply closeted New Essentialists.
#63–Go for it! (And no you won’t look like a dork, just a Trekkie, and why would you be ashamed of that? Trekkies rule!)
#68–Unfortunately that microscopic second of the show WAS the “exclusive”. Very pathetic.
Yeah, the East coast feed of this was different…they say Pine is single…and I don’t remember that shot of Nero and Robau either…
I was fortunate to see an early screening in Los Angeles this past Thursday. I’ve been a fan since I was 10 years old (25 + years)….but am not a person so deeply immersed to hold the new film to “canon.” It’s just a film. But I will say the new movie is beyond anything I expected – in a positive way. JJ is definitely a talent given this is only his second film. The pacing, the scope, the action…all superb and fairly relentless. Lens flares – never bothered me! Anthony’s review was dead on in its mention of “conveniences” to move plot. I agree. But while you’re “in” the movie, you don’t care. It provides such a constant, fluid, visceral experience, there’s no way to take it all in at once if you’re a fan. The writing was wonderful. Humor without pushing it too far for laughs, touches and homages to TOS and the original series movies. Really, truly, well done Alex and Roberto. I admire you both as a former screenwriting major myself. I will see this again in a heartbeat. I went with a friend who knew nothing of Trek, and nothing of the movie. He absolutely loved it and as it ended, eerily echoed what Mr. Nimoy’s wife said to him at the screening…”I want it to go on.” The sequel cannot come soon enough. They’ve done enough to respect the past and logically present a story that frees them from the constraints of “canon” – all well explained and executed. It was a great experience in the theater. Hope you all enjoy.
That was awful. Way to trivialize the movie ET.

The SPACE special will have nothing new or exclusive.
I used to watch ET and stuff like that when I was a kid, but every time I try to watch it lately, I want to stick a fork in my eyes and pull it out through my ears.
Kirk’s Eyelift? Oh lord, the abuse poor Shatner suffers from his fans.
What a TOTAL piece of shit promo!!! I want my two minutes back!
For Kirk’s Girdle –
Your name was my inspiration….
I found the ET segment way too superficial for such a movie of the same parent company, for all that matters. I mean, the have here a prime quality product, a potential worldwide blockbuster and deserves less time than the Lohan breakup. The irony.
Hm. I saw that ET promo a third time and I came to a conclusion:
I don’t like Mary Hart at all.
Yeah, a pretty short and shitty promo. But hey, its better than nothing, and I enjoyed the new snippets for what its worth.
ET go home…
hehe, poor Robau. And Spock romance? Are they totally forgetting that Spock is bonded at this point?
stupid commercial.
Hey trek fans, if your in phoenix area, 10 bucks for star trek the exhibit today cause its free admission at the az science center. Lines about 30 min right now but worth seeing, exhibit closes on 5/3
Purchased my ticks for a digital theater yesterday. Man, I can hardly wait.
BTW on Facebook there is a test for What rank you are in the Star Trek Universe and one for which Captain you are.
I ended up being Kirk.
Good thing that my screen name is Dances With Klingons.

Rainy days and Mondays always bring Nero down.
I think Mary Hart has her on personal “Botox farm” somewhere. It’s creepy to watch her yelling and screaming while not much moves on her face.
IESB.net has clips!!

By the way, most are brand new!

Holy Mother of Cracker Jacks!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!
Ive booked my ticket for the London IMAX showing.. nearly every seat is booked between may 7th and June 4th.. good going!
@1:35
I don’t think they should mention Star Trek and Nemesis in the same sentence
89. Johny Boy
There’s half the movie on that site! Guess Anthony is working on it…
89. Johny Boy
OMG….I watched the “jump” clip…..I am stunned…
89. Johny Boy
….I refuse to watch the others…I don’t want to be spoiled my first time and just watching that one clip is to overwhelming for my senses…cannot wait!
Now you see! IESB has more of a “preview” than freaking ET.
Yeah, the “Jump” clip is sweet! The comm officer’s message is really a cool nod to flight ops jargon. Pike is awesome, too.
SPOILER:
Listen for the four-note TOS intro when the shuttle leaves.

#63–Go for it! (And no you won’t look like a dork, just a Trekkie, and why would you be ashamed of that? Trekkies rule!)
Yeah! You’re right! Thanks.
Those earlier ET segments were so much more substantive :(
I really dig the STIV one, mainly because it’s such a delight to see Nimoy kind of cracking himself up and obviously feeling good about the project (as well he should have).

Turns out that both Zach and Chris *are* bachelors.
lay off Mary heart she is awesome- ive loved her since i was 7- classy lady- and still working in hollywood after 25 years.
