Wind, reel and print. The countdown to May 2013 has begun.

Can't wait to find out what changes they've done as far as the ship and the interior goes. The way the bridge was setup in the first was too bright and seemed way too busy compared to the past versions in the tv series and movies. They really need to tone down all the lighting going on.

I quite liked the bridge. My only problem with the ship was the engine room - it just didn't look like an engine room. it just looked like a generic mess of entirely random pipes and vats to me. I later found out they decided to use a brewery to film it in which probably explained how odd it looked, this time I hope they actually kept enough money in the budget for a real one!

Don't they sorta show the classic one with the vertical warp core at the very end? Or well, you see more of a reflection off of a glass really, heh. That whole water pipe thing was fine to me, I mean the ships gotta have more to it than what we're use to seeing in the past.

Now, a reader for Ain't It Cool News sent the following spoilers for the J.J. Abrams-directed film to the site. The spoilers reveal whether or not Leonard Nimoy will reprise his role as older Spock, who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing and a battle scene in the film. Despite AICN saying that "there is a strong "credibility of circumstance" here", the following info hasn't been officially confirmed, so take the info with a grain of salt until we receive further confirmation.

The Spoilers.

 Leonard Nimoy's Spock is definitely in the film and will have long and "stately" robes.

Benedict Cumberbatch = Khan.

There's a "deep space" smackdown between Kirk and Khan in space suits. "Flying" suits per my contact. 

I don't whether to believe that old Spock will return because Leonard Nimoy very clearly stated that he was not going to return to any more Star Trek films to give Zachary Quinto the spotlight from now on....but then again, he has said many times in the past that he would never play Spock again and he has retired twice so who knows. Maybe he changed his mind.

He came back for Fringe.

If it's something minor, smaller part than in the first movie, then it should be fine if he shows up again. He more or less stole the role in the first but his part was bigger and key to the story. It's also good to see how he's got that timing and personality still spot on from the old days. Man, it's just so hard to think of anyone other than Nimoy as Spock, it's going to take more than just 2 movies for Quinto to start to fill that role now.

I think that's the point, they wanted the "engine room" to look like it could exist today in the real world, hence the dirty, grimy, industrial look.

Thats one of my favourite things about Enterprise the series is how everything looks industrial, nothing is shiny and pristine clean.

I get that, and yes it shouldn't be carpetted and touchscreens with no fingerprints like it was in TNG. But the location they shot in was more akin to a water-plant or brewery. They should have taken inspiration from a friggate's engine room or such. It had no feeling of doing anything important - and it looked WAY too 20th century. Also, it was deserted!

[TheLegendOfMart]

Yeah I agree, that's one of the many complaints I have about the film.

Pegg is full of praise for Cumberbatch’s baddy, whom he describes [as] “not just another disgruntled alien. It’s a really interesting… sort of… thing,” he squirms. “Obviously I can’t talk about it.” While not wanting to get specific, Pegg did flatly deny reports and rumors that Cumberbatch is playing Khan…

“It’s not Khan,” replies Pegg, annoyed. “That’s a myth. Everyone’s saying it is, but it’s not.”

Well include the good part cause he's 100% right when it comes to spoilers!

“It just spoils the film,” he complains. “It masquerades as interest in the movie but really it’s just nosiness and impatience. You just want to say, ‘Oh f— off! Wait for the film!’”

Man I can't wait, i've must have watched the older and new movies over and over 10+ times so far. I know 2012 is looking like a busy year so it's best to release the sequel in 2013 but damnit, so long!

It does seem like a long time... I am not a Star Trek fan personally, but I really liked the movie and am very much looking forward to seeing this one.

The latest set of Star Trek sequel photos comes from Anjini Azhar, a young actress who is playing the daughter of Noel Clarke’s character, who is described as a "family man with wife and daughter" (the mother is played by Nanzeen Contractor).

[GP007]

"the mother is played by Nanzeen Contractor" Her last name is Contractor!?!?!? No way!
