Empire has released some more images of the upcoming Star Trek movie.
I am looking forward to this movie with MUCH anticipation. I love that so much tribute is paid to the look and style of the original series, updated to be less blocking and klunky (this is the future) and some people will whine that the bridge looks too futuristic. I for one would despise the look of this film if it were to stick too tightly to the limitations of a 1960s production value. The stylizing looks similiar enough that we get a good look at those familiar faces.
Perfect example is the recreation of the classic Star Trek image of Kirk and Spock that is being used as the cover for Empire Magazine. The new image is just the composite that will later have the magazine title and dialogue on it.
Yes, Kirk is “prettier” but honestly I can see why they chose Pine for the role seeing him so tightly matched with a slightly older version of his character. Zachary Quinto is spot on.
I have heard naysayers using phrases like 90210Trek and I haven’t seen anything yet that would make me think this would be a teenaged focus soap at all. That is just bitter net troll talk. Some people just want to hate this because they are upset that Trek died to begin with. The die hard Trek Fans were not happy with what was left of the Trek universe, so why are they upset that they didn’t make a continuing story? (And this is a continuation without continuing… if you know what I mean)
IESB.net grabbed these from Empire Magazine.
