First! Seeing it tonight
Nice pics.
On Friday, May 8, 2009, a group of us (fans and newbies) is going to see the it at the Edwards Marq*e IMAX, 7620 Katy Freeway, HOUSTON, TX (the 9:55 p.m. show on IMAX). You’re welcome to joins us.
I’ll have “Trekmovie: Houston Chapter” sign or something to help you find our group. You can contact me through my website.
I like the perspective the behind-the-scenes shots provide…
Good LORD that pic of Quinto as Spock is SMOKIN’.
bump~ six on da screen.. just wanna say cant wait for the movie but just a note to PARAMOUNT. The Promotion of the movie in MALAYSIA IS CRAP!!!!!!
Where can I get a Bad Robot cap like JJ’s wearing?
@5 SaphronGirl
HELLS YA!! YUM! XD
Love that behind-the-scenes photo of most of the cast on the bridge.
Gawd, that bridge is ugly. Every time I look I see MORE stupid barcode scanners and bad store bought props.
Quinto does look great as Spock.
I’ve got my IMAX tix. $75 for a family of four (not including popcorn!). Ouch.
@ 6 – It wasn’t great in the UK till recently! I went to see wolverine yesterday (it is rubbish, btw, but I missed my press screening so had to pay) and there was still no Star Trek trailer! Although during sex with my Misses yesterday one came on, didnt stop, obviously, but I noticed it! Was a shorter version of version three trailer (the one with the decent music)
I am buzzed, can’t wait! Pike is my favourite, and McCoy, well to be honest I think they’re all well cast, definetly starting the I Wish Cpt. Pike Was My Dad club…anyone else want to joing IWCPWMD?
I can see they really didn’t change the console chairs much.
First!
11. – during sex with my Misses yesterday – lol brilliant – engage!
When are we going to get some ‘Making of’ books? Those are always my favorites.
Must disagree – that bridge gets more and more beautiful every time I see it! And just look at all the COLOR ;)
Greenwood simply has “Starship Captain” written all over him.
You can never re do a classic…..to boldy go where no one has gone before….wish paramount would get the message…..

Lol, what kinds of stores are YOU going to? I can understand not liking this particular design, but it’s still a pretty damn expensive and sophisticated looking bridge.
Barcode scanners or no.
I love the bridge image, just look how Anton is looking straight into the cam, he seems a bit confused (”What is this guy doing there?”)
He looks like Chekov in that pic :D
The question is not will I see Star Trek, it’s how many times will I see Star Trek?
And #13… seriously?
Neat how they installed “Lens Flare Generator Lights” on the bridges pointed directly at the actor’s eyes facing the consoles. Useless except for blinding the crewperson and making the screen flash dramatically.
Note how on the still of JJ directing on the bridge, Pine is leaning on a piece of wood. Another reason to have more bridge railings like TOS. I miss that the most from this new design. They seem to have replaced them with the rectangular glass panels everywhere. Bets are, somebody is gonna go through one of them at some point…
Love the expression on Zoe in the KM photo.
Question: Got a Med. drink at BK today, and they gave it to me in a Trek paper cup. On it, the Enterprise had Red collectors, not Blue…VERY NICE photo angle for a change.
Maybe it is a warp travel thing?
These pics are great, but I really would like to see a pic of Pine wearing the gold uniform and a group shot.
The more I see him, the more I think Pike looks like Burt Rutan (big name in aviation). Let the ‘burns go for awhile and he’d be a spitting image!
Wow, even the behind the scenes pics have lens flares.
(ducks)

Heading out the door for Mann’s Chinese right now! Should be fun! Most of my reservations were reflected in Mark Altman’s review and with that being said I’m looking forward to seeing this….:) Maybe afterwards I will change my name to ‘The Happy Klingon”.
I’m digging this a lot. Oh man. Thanks for the BTS photos!
# 10
If you hate the look of the sets so much, why are you seeing this movie? Let alone paying $75 to do so?
Sounds to me that the “store bought props” aren’t the example of stupidity here…
I’m starting to get used to the bridge set. Except for the barcode scanners.
27 — LOL, so true… I wish JJ wasn’t quite so in love with lens flares.
now im no fan of JJ’s and i havent watched any intv or what not with him. so maybe some one else knows more then me on this. but after watching it once. maybe it was me but did he use the term “ya know” a little too often.
also on the bridge dissc. im no fan.
#17 Greenwood simply has “Starship Captain” written all over him.
You are correct. He does look like a Capt and even has a bit of resemblence to the late Jeffery Hunter. He should be a great Capt Pike ahnd i can’t wait to see him or if they do him in the power wheel chair.
Bridge is alot bigger than the originals looks very deep
hey what gives?
wheres the lost trailer thread?
were not done yet
i can understand the removal of the viedo but at least keep the thread open. lock out /remove the link as well as the poor quality link that was posted.
But keep the thread going.
what gives?
What! You mean this ISN’T REAL?
It’s JUST A MOVIE??
Say it ain’t so!
I would have enjoyed seeing a gorn slowly meander by during the outdoor scene. ARGHTHHHHHH
#33
Agreed, I’m going to base my opinion on his abilities as a director on the number of times he says “ya know.” Finally, we’ve found a true litmus test concerning his competency in helming Star Trek.
That it no more star Trek for me. Yep I’m one of those.
35
is that like or a dsslike?
Me?
as to the issue of size. It’a a movie ver as opposed what a tv show has to work with. I would have made it bigger, maybe 10% or whatever. not too larger that it bevomes a problem. but barely larger than you could tell. thers only so much im sure that you could do with cameras and lenses.
JJ looks, in that BTS shot on the bridge set, a little like he’s posing for the Zephram Cochrane statue.
@17
Definately!
The SFA uniforms are pretty sweet!!
3. The Original Spock’s Brain
H-Town Holla!!
I will also be watching the movie at the Marq*e IMAX. However, we have plans to go to the early screening Thursday night. Why aren’t you going then? Hope y’all have fun.
theres gotta be a pirated version out somewhere!!
Good stuff. Behind the scenes stuff would be nicer on the DVD release when that comes. Keep it coming!
Zoe is just beautiful…..
*grrgle*
So Anthony, I see that the Lost thread is gone. But what about the link to the rest of the clips in one place? Where do I find that?
So where did the story about the movie preview on ‘Lost’ go?
I want that Pike uniform!
That bridge simulator looks ten times better than the E bridge.
Pike does not have pointed sideburns. Hard to tell, looks like no one else does either, other then Spock. Great images!
43
those SFA uniforms (red) i find SO-SO
the dark grey arnet that bad. BUT
its not the uniforms themselves that i tend to look at but the arrowhead insignia that draws my eye. I cant help but not like its possition. i think oif it as being too high on the chest. and i cant remeber if we (fans) had done comparisons to this issue. cause i know we tend to do things like that.
By the way, anyone see Lost last night, they included a preview of Star trek with a short clip. Just wondering if Anthony will report on this and if it’s on-line. Must admit, I have not had a chance to look yet.
54
you just missed (You didnt see it?)
it was up and we were talking.
i think there were legal matters that caused its removal
and i had just posted my hero on a pedistal comment too. i dont think any one read it.
could of just closed the comments and removed the links.
too bad.
55.
Thanks, I was busy and didn’t look at trekmovie till now. Oh well.
Just my thought’s, I realize Pine is playing Kirk at a young stage, but I don’t think Shatner would be screaming had he been doing it! : )
FIRST PICS FROM L.A. PREMIERE OF STAR TREK ! ! !

Man Im so freaked out by all this attention building towards Trek…I haven’t seen this kind of excitement for too many movies period….its a trip and a half and Im digging it…..
55.
Yeah tell me about it, I did some of my best posting on that thread.
*grrgle*
This morning I won tickets on a radio show for a May 4th screening in Chicago!!! I totally geeked!
Hey, to heck with the bridge of the Enterprise – I like the Kelvin/simulator bridge. LOL
The pedestal on the captains chair is very bad a$$….I want to see that swivel in the flick…
Looking forward to the movie.
Man, Bruce Greenwood is perfect as Pike. I just totally buy it.
From the mainstream media, I keep hearing exactly what JJA had aimed for from non-fans: “This time Star Trek is cool!” This movie looks great! While I have almost always held that opinion, it’s refreshing and exciting to hear about it from places other than here and TrekBBS.com.
61
i need to see more of be 4 i like it.
so far all im reminded of is a klingon bridge
59
maybe we can re post that thread at alater date
its not like trekmovie posted it before it aired.
If anyone is interested, I found the movie clip from Lost on another website. I’m scared to post the link as the clip might get removed, but it’s still i out there o if you look hard 9.

“First! Seeing it tonight”
You lie!! Not fair!!
The Original Spock’s Brain – April 30, 2009
I have tickets to that Edwards theater to but for the 10:25 showing on the 7th. Who know, I may just come back and see it again on the 8th.
I am going to see it at 7:00pm on May 7th in Las Vegas. The first, non-premiere showing.
the con/helm chairs look like canon
53
Yeah the insignia’s are a bit higher than we’re used to, but it still works fairly well I think.
And it’s far preferable to being too LOW on the chest, as it often was on Sisko’s uniform in DS9. And on Picard in FC in some shots.
God, Zoe Saldana is so gorgeous.
NY Times on “Wolverine:” Not good.

#6: “Although during sex with my Misses yesterday one came on, didnt stop, obviously, but I noticed it! Was a shorter version of version three trailer (the one with the decent music).”
Ewwwwwwwww! THAT was a bit of WTMI that I didn’t need to read.
My bad… that was intended for number 11, who needs to learn a bit about discretion and a lesson from Miss Manners about kiss and tell.
Again, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
What ever happened to the idea of each ship having its own insignia as in the original series? It was always cool to see the variations. If I recall, wasnt the chevron adopted Federation wide only after the Enterprise returned from its original 5 year mission.
#76 I was wondering that too. The original series was copying NASA where each mission had a seperate crew patch. Even Enterprise had patches for each ship.
#10 I think the layout is OK but it is too bright, it should be toned down like the Kelvin bridge. It’s supposed to be a command center not a operating room.
@ MC1 Doug
I don’t think sex is EWWWWWWWWWWW. I happen to think its prety kewwwwl!
Miss Manners. Indeed !
75
Don’t be a Nancy about it.
I like the bridge, even though, for some reason, it made me think of The Max from Saved by the Bell…
Although I haven’t seen the movie yet, the bridge is still the hardest part to like. Those glass panels and the spotlights on the various control stations are just plain funky. The red padded chairs resemble furniture from a retro diner. I’d still like to give the art/production designer a good shake. WTF were you thinking, Man??
They actually had people using flashlights on the set generating lens flares.
Sheesh…
those chairs are one of the few things i like
I’ve got tickets for the IMAX at the Waterfront in Pittsburgh for the 7:15 Friday. I am so fired up! I took the day off to watch TOS episodes and movies all day before hand. I’ve got a friend coming in from Columbus. We haven’t missed a premier since The Wrath of Khan.
Check out the shuttle behind Pike: I’ dying to write ‘wash me’ on it.
When I was in the military in the late 20th century, we washed our aircraft (Kahn made us!!)
#43:
Does this mean that you don’t approve of the position of the insignia on Kirk’s original green wrap-around tunic? To complain about it being somewhere else is complaining about it ever being anywhere else.
Glad it’s coming out a day early in Canada, going on the 7th!
Christ that Enterprise bridge really looks shit doesn’t it.
