R2-D2 LOCATION ANSWER (**SPOILER ALERT**)

During the Drill Machine sequence as the Enterprise comes out of its barrel role amidst destruction of the other Federation ships above Vulcan, we cut to an interior Enterprise bridge over the shoulder of Kirk that is looking out through the front viewscreen.

Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto Talk Star Trek

TV Guide talked to some of the stars of J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek movie. In the clip Abrams says the film is "made for people who may know the series but it's really made for future fans of Star Trek not existing ones." Those comments by Abrams have been quoted in the media before. They really aren't going to placate Star Trek fans angered by what they saw in the Star Trek movie trailer. Actress Zoe Saldana - who plays Uhura - is someone who is very fired up by the trailer. She hadn't seen what it would look like until she saw the trailer as most of it was shot in front of a green screen. She was thrilled by what she saw. Take a look:

Star Trek Goes IMAX

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek wasn't shot in IMAX format, but it will be converted into IMAX format so that fans can see the film in two versions when it is released in May, 2009.

The last film we saw in IMAX was Beowulf; that film really needs to be seen in IMAX to get the full effect.

New Star Trek Trailer is Here

The new trailer for Star Trek is out and it's intense. Some fans are furious at the changes to canon, such as Kirk being a daredevil in his youth whereas in the original series Kirk said he was "positively grim" when he was at the Academy: he was a real bookworm. Uhura takes off her shirt. Spock tries to kill Kirk, etc etc. We have seen every episode of every Star Trek show made and have seen all the movies. We say: wait and see. We'll not pass judgment until we see the finished product. That hits theaters in May, 2009. Here's the trailer:
