Mar 6 2009 New 'Star Trek' Trailer: Spock Hugs
It's so hard for Spock to hug. Trying so hard to remain emotionless but realizing the inevitable sentiment that spawns from a good hug. I think that's probably the main conflict in this movie:
Feb 2 2009 'The Star Trek' Super Bowl Spot
All this fast-paced action and extreme-sports free-falling and kissin'! J.J. Abrams is going to make Star Trek so cool, and we'll all be free to finally body modify our ears into points without fear of persecution. Unless you do it to look like an elf, not a Vulcan--that would be so nerdy.
Dec 15 2008 Advanced 'Star Trek' Banner & Dragons
After seeing this banner from MTV, the characters all lined up, with so many sharp eyebrows and/or angular features, does anyone else get the impression the Enterprise is being run by half-elves? Bones (second from the left) looks like he might be human, and Chekhov (far right) is probably a halfling, but the rest are half-elves. It really makes you think what the stats, class, and alignment of each character would be according to 2nd edition rules, and how those attributes would weigh in on an away mission battle against a Beholder, doesn't it?
Nov 17 2008 UPDATED! Someone Who Pays to See Movies Recorded This 'Star Trek' Trailer for You
An official version is expected later today, but until then, here's a bootleg of the new Star Trek trailer for you to do some watchin' on.
A Star Trek movie with sports cars, on-bridge brawlin', and Uhura bra shots? One thing's for certain: this ain't your (nerdy) father's Star Trek! It might, however, be your douchey step-dad's Star Trek, and he'll probably be mad we were messing with it.
UPDATE: Official, nice-looking version available here, and streaming under the cut. (Thanks, Fox.)
Nov 10 2008 'Star Trek' Posters Get Artsy
Continuing the campaign of marketing Star Trek with primarily dramatic headshots, Paramount has released two new posters. This one is the stone face of Spock. You can guess what the other one is.
Oct 28 2008 New Kirk/Spock Shot Recreates Old Kirk/Spock Shot, but More Boring
Empire Magazine has released an early look at their upcoming Star Trek cover, wherein they recreate an "iconic" shot of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner using the new actors playing Spock and Kirk. I have no idea why they wouldn't recreate the classic shot of Spock standing awkwardly in a winter jacket while Kirk, dressed as Bob Villa dressed as Indiana Jones, accosts him in front of a fake tree. Such a classic, iconic shot.

Oct 16 2008 God, Look at All This 'Star Trek'
All across internet, new production stills from Star Trek have turned up, such as the above shot from UGO. It's Chekov, Kirk, Scott, Bones, Sulu, and Uhura! Not pictured: Spock, Worf.
Below the cut: five more.
Oct 15 2008 Meet the Mannequins of 'Star Trek'
This Friday's Entertainment Weekly cover has a special surprise, nerds: it's New Spock and New Kirk! Despite being airbrushed into an oblivion of smooth flesh and some hair, I have to say, Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine look the parts. Sure, Quinto also looks the part of DJ from Roseanne, and Pine looks so pretty I'm about to propose to this dude, but still, not bad, Star Trek. Not bad.
(Thanks, Matt.)

Jul 18 2008 'Star Trek' ComicCon Posters Work Like the Backs of Collectable Movie Trading Cards
As part of a Comic-Con preview, Entertainment Weekly has a look at the set of four Star Trek posters being handed out at the San Diego convention. Con attendees will each only get one of the posters apiece, meaning fans will be forced to literally murder each other if they hope to complete the logo. I guess that's one way to control the Trekker population.
Nov 13 2007 First Look at Quinto Doing Spock Impression
As apt as Zachary Quinto looks for the part of Spock, I can't help but think this is going to turn into something like the Bob Dylan picture I'm Not There, where half of the movie is spent determining who can do the best impression. Look how much he looks like Spock! Wow, he's doing that strange, droning voice of Sulu! He sounds just like a Scottish caricature!
It's also possible this is just Jason Schwartzman playing an elfin nerd.

Jul 24 2007 Zachary Quinto Looking Like Spock
Zachary Quinto, star of NBC hit Heroes, is reportedly in final negotiations to play the legendary Mr. Spock in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek XI prequel. Obviously the look is amazing, but what's bizarre to me is that I first saw this as some internet fan's good idea with accompanying photoshop job a week or two ago. Does this mean that the internet's idiotic photo manipulations finally being willed into reality? It can only be a matter of time before we're faced with millions of middle-aged guy heads on young, muscular bodies, celebrities with pixelated semen dripping from their mouths, and, perhaps most terrifying, cats literally laughing out loud.
