Harry Knowles got the chance to see some early footage from JJ Abrams’ Star Trek. The few short clips he saw were early edits without proper cg or color timing. The one bit I found particularly interesting is the first description of the bridge of the USS Enterprise:

I’ve decided to consolidate a bunch of tv updates down to one posting, because, after-all this is still a movie blog.
