Star Trek Cover Story In Entertainment Weekly!  October 15, 2008
by Anthony Pascale , Filed under: Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback

This is what you have been waiting for. Last week we reported that the veil of secrecy is starting to be lifted on the new Star Trek and we noted that some images could come sooner than the November trailer. Well that 'sooner' is this week with Friday's issue of Entertainment Weekly which will be featuring a cover story about JJ Abrams Trek movie. A preview of the cover and more info below.


And so it begins
This weekend's EW (due out Friday) will have an exclusive peek at next Summer's Star Trek, including behind the scenes photos. Here is the cover.

There should be more on the EW website by Thursday or Friday.

About the uniforms
The EW cover preview is the first full color image of the new Star Trek bridge uniforms. You could infer what they were from the promotional posters, but those were 'stylized' and it made it harder to see the uniforms. As reported in the TrekMovie Uniform Spoilers article from July, the new bridge uniform shirts are actually in two parts. There is a grey/black undershirt and a second v-neck shirt over that (red, blue or gold). If you look closely you can see that the over shirt has the delta shield as a repeating pattern in the weave and the undershirt also has a subtle emblem embossed on the chest.

All in all the new uniforms are very much in line with the main Original Series uniforms. From a distance you may not even be able to spot the differences. However these bridge uniforms are just the beginning. Star Trek is said to have more wardrobe than any other Trek film, including Star Trek The Motion Picture. We should expect to see many of the stars in multiple outfits, many of which will be totally new designs.

More to come soon
As noted in our earlier reporting, Paramount is just starting up their campaign for this movie. Right now they are building buzz that will lead up to the trailer coming out next month. This EW story is not the extent of that so you may want to check back with TrekMovie later today.

I was going to say "This ain't your father's Star Trek" but then realized it's me that is old school ST. I am looking forward to seeing this and I hope it can develop back into a franchise of films. I say keep it on the big screen. It look very slick and I am ok with that, but it's going to make some folks VERY unhappy.

This REALLY fires me up for the movie!!!!  So far so good!

Hey Bryan - Why am I not at all surprised by some of the negative reaction over on the RPF?  I've about had it with people being so narrow minded.  Like the pictures of not - give the movie a chance.  Geez - louise!

[Bryancd]

That's why I fired off that comment at Cessna Driver. I mean, boycotting the movie is just silly..

[Rico]

I know - like that will really matter to Paramount.  I mean 5 or 6 pictures and they are ready to write the movie off?  Come on people!  Unreal!  I hate to blow this up to more than it is, but it is one thing the world really can never have enough of --- and that is people keeping an open mind.  If we don't start thinking like that we will never get to the stars.

P.S.  I'm making myself a little promise that I am NOT going to spend much time the next few months trying to convince people otherwise.

I think the photos are cool but they are just photos.  To me it's the stories that made TOS great.  I hope the movie story is great.  That will make the movie great.  So far I like the look.

I've been wondering how they could take the TOS uniform style and update it for modern sensibilities without loosing the "Trek Feel". I have to say; I'm impressed!



The tunics look great! The texture of the shirts gives them a slick, futuristic sci-fi feel without betraying the design of the TOS tunics. Plus, I like the layering effect. Kind of reminds me of the later TNG uniforms.



I mean look at these things! :) Whoever the costume designer is, he or she is a genius! These look true to the original uniforms without looking dated or hokey. I can't wait to see these on the Big Screen!

Like I just posted on the RPF, Star Trek isn't just Shatner as Kirk....it's Gene's vision. As long as the vision is there, it's Star Trek, and I think he would approve. :)

Oh my goodness!  Those pics were awesome!  I can't wait until May!  As I......pass out.

You know what's freaky?  I really can see "siler" or w/e his name is, (yes, I'm lousy with names) as Spock.  CREEPY

GREAT PICTURES

I kind of like the more muted colors of the uniforms as it will look better on the big screen. Nero looks pretty cool and Spock and Kirk look good. I don't really like the bridge set, at least from these pics. I'm looking forward to seeing the trailer and I hope it will show at James Bond because that's likely to be the only film I will see in theater this year!
