Trek trailer talk

STAR TREK

So word on the cyber street is that the new trailer for the J.J. Abrams directed reboot prequel, STAR TREK, will premiere with the upcoming James Bond adventure QUANTUM OF SOLACE but if you’d like to get a taste of it beforehand, a couple of scoopers over at AICN recently wrote in to describe the trailer. And it sounds like this thing’s gonna rock balls, especially since they mention this: “We also see a woman in silhouette (Uhura?) pulling off her top…” Hells yeah. Here’s a snippet from the more detailed description:


The trailer starts by showing a mid-60’s Corvette convertible tearing across the country side. After a few seconds we see a long shot that shows a policeman in hot pursuit. Another long shot shows the Vette screaming at full speed toward a steep cliff. A slo-mo shot shows the driver leaping from the car at the last second and tumbling ass over teakettle toward the edge of the cliff itself. The driver is a young boy who looks about 13 or 14. He manages to grab a hold at the last second and hang on as a birds eye shot show the antique Vette fall away into an abyss.

We see the boy get up and dust himself off and the camera cuts away to show a troopers boot come down close-up. The black leather boot is obviously the policeman’s who was chasing the car but it looks suspiciously “different.” Just different enough to let the audience know this isn’t a normal policeman. The shot then cuts to where we can see the policeman standing in front of the boy with his “bike” hovering in mid air a few feet beside him. He shouts at the boy, “Who are you?” or “What’s your name?” and the boy shouts back defiantly, “James Tiberius Kirk!”

Read the rest of it over HERE. The Enterprise flies again (or is it for the first time?) on May 8th.
