Star Trek XI - spoilers!

Meds - I don't think there is an "American version" of the Empire mag.  It's produced in the UK only - I think.  At least when I looked into subscribing and found out how much it cost that's what I found out.

Well, they almost get it right but not quite right on.

I don't think they intended for it to match perfectly.  Obviously they had the first photo to work off of.  I think it's a great compromise.  A nice little homage to the original while still doing their own thing to a degree.  Which is exactly what the new movie sounds like will be.  So it fits perfectly with the way they are taking this whole thing.

[Meds]

Yeah i think its a great looking photograph. I'll keep my eye out for the new Empire.

OK; the Trek Pic Of the day looks cool!  I'm guessing the main viewscreen of the bridge?



It sorta looks like it will be an actual viewport with a computer interface built in.  Or I wonder if it it still represents a camera view of the outside of the ship?

Or maybe it's a viewport in one of the conference spaces surrounding the bridge?

[Darth Gaos]

My guess is the latter and is based solely on the fact you can see the saucer section and the stars are "flowing" by "sideways" indicating that the Enterprise is at warp.

The stars look staionary.  The streaks are the reflection of the bridge equipment stations at the back of the bridge.  It looks like they have the TMP lettering on the ship; I sure don't like that.

Here's another picture from the Empire Magazine story.

Anyone know whether or not the new trailer is showing before the new James Bond flick? 

[Bryancd]

That shot is definitely the main view screen, you can see the lettering on the hull outside, so it's looking forward. The streaks are reflections from inside the Apple store. :)

I've just seen the new Bond film and there was no trailer here but that might be because it would get pirated quickly. I think you may get it when Bond is released in two weeks time.

Yeah, I agree that based on the view of the hull graphics, the portal is at the front of deck one.  I was just postulating that the bridge might be located in the center of the deck, with usable space surrounding it (kind of like a donut).  That would allow room for the captain's ready room, the head, and conference room(s). 

I've just seen the new Bond film and there was no trailer here but that might be because it would get pirated quickly. I think you may get it when Bond is released in two weeks time.

I'll keep my fingers crossed!  I need to see the new trailer NOW.

Some people over a the RPF are speculating that it's a big window on the deck below the bridge, but I don't think they can make the scale work.

I don't think fonts are something important to the film at all. I think that the reason they changed to the TMP font was because it was actually possible to make the font that gene wanted in the first place.

Back in the day, the TMP font would have been a serious pain to work on.

Then again this is also a new movie and I'm not sure the choice of font will make or break the movie in any way what so ever.
