Quick thoughts:

*

Note the background colors, red, gold, blue correspond to the original uniform colors for Uhura, Kirk and Spock

*

Nice touch with the reflection of the delta shield logo in the eyes for Kirk, Spock and Uhura. It looks like there is one there for Nero too, but hard to tell.

*

Spock?s shirt looks very close to original TOS

*

As we knew it would, Quinto looks perfect as Spock

*

Pine has the right look of a young, serious, cocky Kirk

*

Hard to tell for sure, but it looks like Starfleet pointy sideburns are still in style

*

Zoe?s Uhura = HOT

*

Nero looks badass, but what is is going on with his ear? He is reportedly a Romulan, did someone chew the tip off?

*

And as TrekMovie.com reported before, no TNG era bumpy headed action on the Romulans?with the new twist of tattoos!?Fascinating

I have to say I am pretty excited for this movie. I don't mind if it deals with time travel again (I love mobius type plot lines). All I'm worried about is whether it'll make sense with the rest of the movies/shows. JJ Abrams doesn't seem like the usual scrub hollywood writer, and I bet he is taking this script very seriously. So, I think it's a good bet he will stay faithful to the ST canon.

May 2009 can't get here fast enough!

The first cut of JJ Abrams? Star Trek has screened to studio boss Brad Grey and executives on the Paramount lot. One source tells TrekMovie that the cut was ?very impressive?, while another said that the reaction in the screening room was ?far beyond expectations?. We?re still nine months away from release, and only a few of the 1300+ effects shots are remotely finished.

Apparently a theatrical trailer is already cut and edited, but the effects in the trailer have to be completed before it can be attached to a movie. Some people are buzzing that the studio hopes to release the trailer on September 26th with DJ Caruso?s Eagle Eye (Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci produced the film). But we?ve already heard that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is eyeing that release. So who knows.

Four new character posters from JJ Abrams? Star Trek have been revealed at VegasCon 08. TrekMovie was able to take a photo of the four posters, which like the Comic Con posters, combine to form the Star Trek delta emblem. Clockwise we have John Cho as Sulu, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Karl Urban as McCoy and Anton Yelchin as Chekov. I spent a few minutes in photoshop adjusting the colors and re-framing the image.

Clifton Collins Jr. said that's exactly what he and Eric Bana had to do for J.J. Abrams' much-anticipated Star Trek movie.

?Me and Eric are the new Romulans,? Collins said of their space alien characters in the flick. "They had a linguist come in and invent Romulan!?

We caught up with Collins last night in downtown L.A. at a party for the limited-edition movie posters celebrity tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon has designed for the upcoming Robert De Niro and Al Pacino flick, Righteous Kill.

Collins said his and Bana's Romulan look could have been somewhat inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean. ?We?re space pirates,? Collins explained. ?Think of Johnny Depp as a Romulan.?

And get ready for some surprise appearances in the movie. "There is, but I better not say," Collins said of possible big-star cameos. "There are certain things that as kids growing up, whether it's Star Trek or other shows at the time, all you got to do is really just hear their voice and your heart warms."

Asked if he was referring to characters and actors from the original television series, Collins simply smiled and said, "Maybe."

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
