You’ve seen the new Star Trek movie trailer. I know I’ve watched it probably 30 times over the past weekend. So much is going on in-between the fast action cuts that it is very easy to miss something. Did you catch Kirk firing off his phaser? Did you get a good look at that huge lobster looking creature? How about Captain Christopher Pike in command? Or how about James T Kirk hiding under a bed? After the jump you can see 50 screenshots from the high definition 1080p movie trailer. Click on the photos to enlarge.

Paramount Pictures has released two new posters for JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek. The two new posters are black and shadow filled, featuring Chris Pine as James T Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock.

Star Trek will hit theaters on May 8th 2009.

Paramount was supposedly howing off the new trailer for JJ Abrams’ Star Trek on a 15 minute loop on the lot on Friday. Here is a brief decryption of what you will see:

A 60’s style corvette convertible tears down the road, a policeman in hot pursuit.
The driver, a 13-year-old boy, leaps from the car right as it goes off a cliff.
Reveal: the policeman has a hover bike
The Policeman asks “Who are you? What’s Your Name?” The boy answers “James Tiberius Kirk!”
Kirk years later, a young man (Chris Pine) is riding a hover bike
Voice Over: “You never found yourself here, you never really fit in. What you choose to do with [...]

The cover of Empire Magazine’s Star Trek issue is a callback to the classic Kirk and Spock photo from years past. The magazine also offers a few new photos (click to see the full size versions over on Empire). The first photo below shows Kirk (Chris Pine) and Sulu (John Cho), both in armored EVA suits in some kind of space shuttle. TrekMovie believes the guy on the left to be Greg Ellis who is playing Chief Engineer Olsen

The second photo shows Spock (Zachary Qunito) standing infront of a window on the bridge. I say window and not viewscreen because there is noticeable reflection on the glass, and if you [...]

I know we’re probably all working on Star Trek overload, so I’ll keep this brief. Paramount Pictures has released another batch of photos in Entertainment Weekly. You can check out the previously released photos: Here and Here.

Paramount has begun to distribute the first production photos from JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek around the web. Above is a first look at the crew on the Bridge of the USS Enterprise from MTV. Lindelof says that Kirk’s Black shirt is the Captain uniform, and that the red shirt crew member in the background is of no importance (ie Uhura probably replaces her after she dies early on). The bridge looks extremely cool, I can;t wait to see more of it. UGO has the first cast photo of the Enterprise crew (From left to right: Anton Yelchin as Chekov, Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Simon Pegg as Lt. Montgomery [...]

Next week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly has a big Star Trek feature, and Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine appear in costume as Spock and Kirk on the cover. EW also has photos from their visit to the set. I’m sure we’ll see them online soon, as the issue hits newsstands on Friday.

Entertainment Weekly should probably hire Kevin Smith to write movie reviews. Heck, they’ve sent Diablo Cody to do set reports!? It seems like Smith is seeing all the films early now-a-days. First The Dark Knight, then Watchmen, and now… Star Trek? Maybe so. The Clerks director was a guest on KROQ’s Kevin and Bean show and eludes to having seen JJ Abrams’ Star Trek. Lets take a look at the transcript thanks to TrekMovie:
Smith: I saw a movie last night that I cannot talk about.
Host: Was it good?
Smith: It was phenomenal.
Host: Any stars, any break out stars, and do they trek?
Smith: The stars absolutely trek in this film. It [...]

While no Star Trek panel will take place at Comic Con 2008, Paramount Pictures is releasing four new character teaser posters. The four posters feature (from left to right) Eric Bana as a unnamed villain, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, and Zachary Quinto as Spock. The posters combine to form the Starfleet federation logo. Strangely enough, this is actual the third Star Trek teaser poster released at Comic Con over the last three years. The previously released posters can be seen below. The one to the left was supposedly released before there was even a script.

Update: We now have high resolution versions of the character poster [...]

So first Joe Carnahan looses Chris Pine who jumped ship to JJ Abrams’ Star Trek, and now George Clooney is leaving the White Jazz ship due to “scheduling issues.” Carnahan was scheduled to go into production early next year, and Clooney is currently shooting the Coen Bros’ Burn After Reading, and trying to finish his football movie, Leatherheads. But who knows exactly that scheduling is preventing him to star in Smokin’ Joe’s film.
Clooney’s producing partner, Grant Heslov assures everyone that “George continues to believe in the project and in Joe.” But this all sounds so suspicious. Who knows what will now become of White Jazz. Will the producers/studio still [...]

Now that the full crew of the Enterprise has been cast in JJ Abrams Star Trek prequel/reboot, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at the talent involved. The photo above is obviously photo-shopped (poorly in fact) by myself to show you what JJ Abrams’ on deck line-up may look like. Click on the photo to enlarge. Let’s take a look at thee new crew of the Starship Enterprise.

Captain James T. Kirk had a distinguished career in Starfleet Academy, becoming the first person to defeat the Kobayashi Maru test that stymied cadets for many decades. Whereas any situation would be met by the simulator’s overriding [...]

Chris Pine has dropped out of playing Junior Stemmons in Joe Carnahan’s White Jazz, which means he’s 100% confirmed to play Kirk in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek. I know, I know, we already had a Carnahan story earlier today, but this is some breaking news as Pine was undecided when the news broke a couple days back that he was Abrams final choice for the role of Kirk.
“I’ve been talking to him this past week and knew how tough the decision had to be for him,” Caranahan wrote on his blog. “I don’t envy ever being in that spot but I gave him my full support, even if it meant [...]

I was talking last night to a group of friends about how we all really want JJ Abrams’ Star Trek to be good but with the casting announcements that have been made so far, I’m starting to get a bit worried. What happened to the days when Matt Damon was rumored to be playing Captain Kirk? I’m not saying that these aren’t capable actors, they just aren’t the level of talent and names that I think everyone was expecting.
So today’s Star Trek casting news revolves around a new villain named Nero, who is being played by Eric Bana. And other reports have Chris Pine (Just My Luck, Smokin’ Aces) is [...]

When we talked to Joe Carnahan back in January, he expressed interest in making a Smoking Aces prequel: “I’ve had an idea to do a Tremor brothers prequel, do this, do that. You could explore these characters endlessly.” But the movie came and went, becoming modestly successful ($53 million worldwide) before doing huge numbers on DVD. Now the idea has gotten a greenlight.
“Universal wants to move ahead with a direct-to-video prequel of ‘Smokin’ and asked me if I wanted to Godfather the thing and make sure we did a really cool story,” Caranhan reveals. “The DVD numbers ‘Smokin’ Aces’ has done are astounding and they want to strike while the [...]

Samuel Goldwyn Films has sent us the movie trailer for Blind Dating. So what’s the movie about? It’s a comedy about a blind guy going out on blind dates. Great idea right? Well, let’s check out the footage out after the jump.
