Courtesy of Paramount Pictures comes TWO MORE poster images for the upcoming STAR TREK feature film by JJ Abrams:

Eric Bana as 'Nero' and...

Zoe Saldana as 'Uhura.'

Now, I just hope they don't go all 'Dawson's Creek' with the sensibilities of the film.  Yes, Eric Bana brings quite a bit of gravitas to any role he plays, but I, quite frankly, haven't heard much about many of the others in the cast outside of Simon Pegg (Scotty).

Courtesy of Paramount Pictures, two teaser posters for the upcoming STAR TREK movie by JJ Abrams:

Will Chris Pine be able to channel a young Will Shatner?  Can you see this kid singing Rocket Man?

Am I seeing Leonard Nimoy in Zachary Quinto's gaze?

I will say this...the trailer looks good!

EW magazine's Star Trek preview hits the stands this week giving all those Trekkies who were wondering what the new look of the Trek franchise was going to be a look at some more elements in the franchise 'reboot'.  It also has an interview with the film's director, JJ Abrams.

What comes as a surprise to me is admission that he was never a big Star Trek fan as a kid:

“I don’t think people even understand what Star Trek means anymore," says Abrams, who saw the first Star Trek film in 1979 with his father at a theater on the Paramount lot. But he feels no warm-fuzzy nostalgia about it. In fact, Abrams can sum up his regard for Trek in two words: Galaxy Quest, the 1999 hit starring Tim Allen that satirized Trek with painful precision. “It’s so ridiculous, so accurate, so sophisticated, it spoils the Star Trek universe,” he says. Plus, at heart, Abrams is still more of a Star Wars guy. “All my smart friends liked Star Trek,” he says. “I preferred a more visceral experience.” Which is exactly why he accepted Paramount ’s offer in 2005 to develop a new Trek flick; creative­ly, he was engaged by the possibility of a Star Trek movie “that grabbed me the way Star Wars did" 

Now, some Trekkies may be concerned that Abrams is going to turn Star Trek into Star Wars, which just may be a valid concern.  And in all honesty, I didn't care much for Trek until 'Wrath of Khan', the most 'Star Wars-y' of the Trek films.  We'll just have to see what happens come the sequels/prequels? release date.

Ok, I'll admit that I'm not a big Star Trek fan, but I am rather stoked about the JJ Abrams reboot of the Star Trek film franchise....
