Some images are up at EW.com for the new Star Trek movie starring Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock. There are plus some interviews in the along with an spread pushing the revamp of the franchise.

It was a mistake pushing the release of the film from Christmas Day 2008 to May 2009. that sort of film would do much better in a December release. Now Star Trek will simply be another film among all the other summer tentpoles.

In the essay, J.J. Abrams describes himself more of

a Star Wars fan than a Star Trek fan and that may be reflected in the film. I’m ambivalent about that view. On one hand, Star Trek always seemed more a thinking person’s franchise whereas Star Wars was always about fights, chases and space explosions. On the other hand, fights, chases and explosions seem to be more popular in sci-fi movies than cogitative fiction.

Star Trek: Enterprise didn’t work so well as a prequel. Let’s see whether that film does better.
