Star Trek: The Art of the Film (Hardcover)

[Rico]

This looks like a cool book.  Comes out next week.  The daily pic for today is from it.

Product Description
Director J.J. Abrams' new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, Star Trek features a young, new crew venturing boldly where no man has gone before, as it tells the story of how the brash Starfleet cadet James T. Kirk first meets a Vulcan named Spock, and earns the Captain's chair of the Starship Enterprise. The film quickly became a critical and commercial smash hit worldwide, as audiences — confirmed Trekkers and newcomers alike — thrilled to a state-of-the-art action epic which both respected the legacy of Gene Roddenberry's archetypal modern myth and forged ahead into an exciting future of its own.

Star Trek: The Art of the Film is a lavishly illustrated celebration of that new vision, tracing the evolution of the movie's look through a stunning array of previously unseen pre-production paintings, concept sketches, costume and set designs, unit photography and final frames.

Written by New York Times-bestselling author Mark Cotta Vaz in close co-operation with the film's production team, and including a Foreword by J.J. Abrams, this is the essential companion to the film.

I order this a couple of weeks ago. I have all the art of books and really enjoy them. I'm not sure how good this will be because Pocket Books is not handling this for some odd reason. Titan Publishing is releasing it. They are the ones who have the current license for Star Trek Magazine. It makes me wonder if Pocket is getting out of the non-fiction Star Trek book business after what?...about 20 years.
