“Star Trek” Report June 27, 2008 4:57 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Star Trek.add a comment
Harry Knowles over at AICN is one lucky guy. Knowles was recently screened footage of Paramount Pictures’ Star Trek from none other than director J.J. Abrams. Here’s a highlight (spoilers follow):
He showed me a scene of Ben Cross (Sarek) & Winona Ryder (Amanda Grayson) cradling a baby Spock on the surface of Vulcan. A baby with Spock ears is kind of amazing to look at. But there was no dialogue here, and Vulcan wasn’t really there yet – what was there was a great rock formation that kinda reminded me of that wonky mountain/cliff thing from ARENA / BILL & TED. That said, it wasn’t the ARENA formation – and JJ said that zero effects had been done on this yet – so the lighting wasn’t right, the sky wasn’t right and there were no angry volcano type things or structures in the background, but he assured me… it’ll all look very Vulcan when it is done.
More highlights follow after the jump, or if you like, just head here to read Harry’s complete report.

Star Treki is still nearly a year away, but Paramount is apparently already looking to bring back writers for a follow-up:
“I can give you a spoiler about the Studio’s state of mind (not about the movie itself). The spoiler is that they already want to lock us down to write the sequel,” co-writer Roberto Orci revealed to TrekMovie. “Take that as you will.”
We already know that the main cast have options for two additional films, but this move allows Paramount to quickly move forward on more installments, so long as the film does well next summer.
