What do you call that expression on Zachary Quinto's mug on the EW cover? Fellatio Face? There's just something totally wrong there.

On the upside, Karl Urban looks more like Bones McCoy than I would ever have imagined possible.

Back on the downside, Chris Pine is going to SINK this movie.

This movie looks ridiculous

Did anyone notice how Zach Quinto's eyebrows looked completely painted on on the last episode of Heroes? I wondered if it was because he was filming this at the same time, and needed some touch ups. I love that man's eyebrows.

Sigh. What's the point of having Eric Bana in your movie if he's a) not gonna look like himself or b) be shirtless? What a waste.

Karl Urban does look surprisingly good there. I had hoped that at least they'd get them to wear less ridiculous uniforms.

This movie's gonna be completely awesomely bad and I'll so be sitting in the front row! YEAAH!

Karl Urban is McCoy? He may merit some red jeans if he gets pissed off at least once.

That couldn't be more Pegg, but it'll be amusing to hear GlasgaePegg.

Oh and I don't know about "douchey" but he doesn't look like a real human.

Simon Pegg is pulling off a very "I'm as disgusted as you are that this is happening" look.

I love you Montgomery Scott.

Hum, Uhura is wearing a high neck and a B cup. Wanna bet she's wearing pants instead of that micro mini skort with matching panties?

Jerce, fellatio face is pretty apt, he looks completely surprised that anyone would want his dick in their mouth.

Chris Pine has that sexually ambiguous zero threat to your teenage daughter's hymen look. I don't like that look. It reeks of shoddy cunnilingus.

OK, i didn't think Karl Urban would work as Bones, but I'm kinda digging it. He might just pull it off.

Plus, yanno... he's hot. I'd play doctor with him any ol' time.

Hmmm, I remember Karl Urban being a lot hotter in LOTR:2&3. Perhaps I was mistaken.
You were NOT mistaken.

Heeee.

in (the awesome loud bangy) Smokin'Aces he kind of shows his acting chops to an impressive degree in one very short scene
That was Pine? I didn't recognize him. You're right; he was good. But he still looks like a distillation of seventeen douches in these photos. I'm reserving judgment.

I will not pay to promote this asshattery, it's stupid, it's Dawson's Trek, there's only ONE Spock and ONE, Kirk.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!

speaking as pretty big Star Trek fan (though I kind of quit following after Undiscovered Country and TNG) I really hope JJ can inject some life into these movies again.

I'm a hopeless geek, and I know I'm a hopeless geek, but I will not be watching this.

That said, my first response on seeing that last picture was "What the hell is Kirk doing on the bridge out of uniform?"

Simon Pegg is Scotty? Holy dang. And that guy really looks like Bones.

Quinto on that EW cover is so airbrushed he looks like Daddy Quinto procreated with one of those trolls with a jewel in its tummy. Could that be the film's secret new alien race?

I'd love to say that Simon Pegg is enough to get me to look past my Trek hatred and see this flick, but I've learned the hard way too many times that Pegg minus Frost and Wright equals crap flick. Go make a Spaced movie, already!

About time Karl Urban got a decent part. He was way too hot in Lord of the Rings (even with all the hair) to have been ignored for this long.

lizzieborden HOLLAH.

I suspect Anton Yelchin would be able to do a better Russian accent than Walter Koenig, but Yelchin is way prettier than the role really demands. (Then again, that seems to be par for the casting course here.) Add Karl Urban to the mix, though, and Kirk/Spock slashfic might get replaced by McCoy/Chekov slashfic.

I wonder if they've rewritten the part of Lt Uhura so that her role on the ship is no longer "interstellar receptionist".

Finally: John Cho and Simon Pegg are made of awesome, no matter what sort of dreck they're in.

Paramount exec: Jesus I just saw the forwards of the new Trek flick! We poured $150 million into this unholy crap!

Abrams: I know, I really screwed the pooch. Sorry. I gotta go. I need to go reanimate Joshua Jackson for his next Fringe scene.

Paramount exec: Holy fuck! What am I gonna do. I can't shit away $150 million like this. Is it too late to insert Shia Labeouf digitally in post?

Paramount PR guy: Too late, but I got an idea! We'll make it back in merchandising. I'll start things off by putting Kirk and Spock action figures on the cover of EW this month.

Paramount Exec: Brilliant! Just make sure you give the action figures a really gay pose! Trekers will love that!

sistercoyote : 'That said, my first response on seeing that last picture was "What the hell is Kirk doing on the bridge out of uniform?" '

Kirk was always on the bridge out of uniform. Remember that little wrap-around number he used to wear?

------------------------------------------------

I do remember that, he also rocked a blue one with gold trim on the bottom of the sleeves IIRC on a couple of episodes.

BEST costumes were the the gigantic "gortex" jackets from Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock.

At the risk of revealing way too much about my childhood, that shot can't be the Enterprise taking fire. The serial number is wrong. The Enterprise's is NCC-1701.

...Middle school was a lonely time.

I love Karl Urban, but I thought he was a really odd choice for McCoy. Now seeing these pictures and some others, I think he might just pull it off. *crosses fingers*

Is it just me, or does Quinto make Spock look 11 years old in these shots? Seriously not credible.

As for Pine, a friend of mine took a French class with him. Holly from The Girls Next Door was also in the class. That's all I know.

Sarina that's fucking terrifying. And unrealistic, because after Zac Efron finally comes out of the closet in 5 years he'll surely have the sex-change operation done and will fade into obscurity, doing Vegas shows of High School Musical 15 for $50 a night.

At least, that is my dream. Stupid Zac Efron.

I don't think I'm going to like it. There's good cheese, and then there's bad cheese. So far, I'm smelling something foul. ZQ looks a fool, and if he pulls out that Sylar angry face, it's going to take everyone out of the film.

Jerce Sulu was from San Francisco...! It all FITS! Duh. Sometimes I feel so dumb.

Anna von Beaverplatz- It's from Cabin Fever. Best scene of the whole flick, as well.

The ship above is the USS Kelvin. Uhura is not wearing pants. And it seems that Kirk's black shirt is some kind of uniform derivative, or at least GI casual.

I'm also thinking that McCoy looks a bit too hot, too muscular. He's going to out hot Kirk.

Pajibans,

I am a dyed-in-the-wool Trek nerd, and proud of it. I've watched everything...even suffered through "Enterprise". So far, after looking at these pictures (and others, including a too-slick looking bridge set), I've gotta quote Ren & Stimpy's 'Mr. Horse'.

"Nosir, I don't like it!"

I'm hoping to be wrong. Honestly. If not, I'll probably be done with Trek. That will be a sad day indeed.
