If anything is going to polarise Star Trek fans it's going to be J.J. "Lost" Abrams's remake of the original Star Trek. Well, it's not technically a remake but it has Spock and Kirk and Co. as it "Explores the early Starfleet careers of future Enterprise officers".There'll be the Trekkies who can't stand anyone playing their favourite character(s) but the original actors (who are now 40 years older than then) and then there'll be the Trekkies who think Abrams has done the right thing in reviving the ancient sci fi series.
Personally I'm not a huge Star Trek fan but I've seen a few episodes of the original series, a lot of Next Gen and a few of the movies, that's as far as I go. Not sure if I'll be seeing this remix at the cinema but I must admit the cast is a little intriguing... Simon Pegg as Scotty!? Eric Bana as the big bad guy (of course he's an alien)!?
Anyway, there's a slew of new photos going around the internet at the moment showing scenes from what looks like the final product including a magazine cover that looks like it's for a less-than-hetero audience. First Showing is guestimating that these images are from a new trailer which will be showing before Quantum of Solace, the new Jimbo Bond movie, which is due in around a month's time.
Star Trek is due May 2009. More info and photos at First Showing.
