Cool News
Check out Sylar's pointy ears!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Continuing their STAR TREK dominance, IESB and now JFX have gotten the first spy pics from the set of JJ Abrams' STAR TREK featuring one of the lead characters. Zachary Quinto as Young Spock is eerie.
He's sure got the look. That was never in question... from the beginning we knew that visually he'd pull it off. I think Quinto's a good actor, so I have faith he'll do the character justice, but I guess we'll see.
Be sure to click over to JFX for more shots and over to IESB for yet more, blurrier, shots and even some video from filming!

spock
-
...is looking and sounding better and better by the day. At the very least, it will be better than Insurrection and Nemesis.
-
Just have a geekgasm in their pants like I did?!
-
Yet another update for Ain't It King and Trek News.
-
FUCKING FAGGOTS
-
He looks like he's wearing Vulcan garb there.
-
That is scarily Nimoy-esque. Despite the other cast choices I'm not too thrilled about, Abrams did good on this one.
-
I had '7' in the office pool for # post a "fucking faggots" reference would appear....<p> taking my money and going to applebees, bitches
-
Earlier this year they dominated pretty much all things Iron Man, now Trek... And I'm pretty sure they put some juicy shit out of the Indy set as well. Coïncidence? <p> Oh, and Quinto looks "pointy" enough, indeed. I'm not a Trekkie by any means, and I don't really care for this flick one way or the other, but it looks like Spock. Nice work.
-
Still not jazzed. How jaded is that?
-
Now that is a good spy photo. Looks good from a distance.
-
The sideburns shouldn't be that thick, and the ears should be more pointed. This movie is going to SUCK!
-
gay spock out for an early evening stroll. Tell me- do you like my pointy ears, boy?
-
With all due respect to TV actors, it's hard to make the move to film. Karl Urban (Pathfinder, Bourne 2) would have been a cooler Spock. Here it's kinda like your buddy from school is playing the role, giving it a bit of a B-level vibe. TV actors + a TV director might = wait for the DVD...
-
Why Vulcans should be polygamists!
-
For the first time in quite a while we'll have big-budget Trek. At the very least it'll be a fun ride with J.J. at the helm.
-
anyone know?
-
Man, it's all Trek, all the Time now.
-
do we know the status of her jeans?<p>I think he looks good. But not in a gay way.
-
Pretty sweet!!!
-
<p>Incidentally, he looks exactly like Nimoy to me.</p> <p>Also, I concur with PickedUp wholeheartedly. The multiple daily Trek posts have already become rather annoying.</p>
-
Spock can't cook.
-
That's fucking crazy.
-
SPOCCCCCCCCK!
-
he looks like motherfucking spock.
-
It's Star Trek. TV on a bigger screen is still TV. Of all the films, only two got even close to being "cinematic." I'm surprised they didn't cast Zach Braff as McCoy.
-
Ear-ily Spock-like.
-
of course he has the look. It's called makeup. I have a feeling the makeup department kinda knew what spock's look was before starting this film.
-
do you realize Trek was always on tv?
-
Looks great.
-
just is
-
this guy quinto is the only actor perfectly cast yeah... i'll see this just for him
-
Actually, my jeans are fine and dandy. :p The eyebrows are gone and I am devastated. Why did they shave off his eyebrows!? Why? The sex appeal is gone. Gone!
-
Zulu Nation. Destroy all nations. Seriously though, he looks amazing as young Spock. Gotta hand it to the makeup people. Gets ya excited for this movie, but the true test with be Kirk. If that doesn't work. This movie could break under it's weight.
-
Am I first to write that?

Thank god I saved these before they are pulled.
by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz
Looks good I will say.
-
Starring just because she's another pretty face -Lauren Conrad as the hot rich white blonde.
-

-
Just the thought of Star Trek breaking under the weight of Kirk made me spew coke out of my nose! Poor shat--the butt of every joke, intentional or otherwise.
-
If Quinto can pull off some of Nimoy's mannerisims as Spock (an I bet he can) it will be surreal.
-
In a Vulcan attire, specially in the last pic... or is it just me ?
-
Hey, Lady!!!!!!
-
...at the hands of a rabid mountain lion? Live Long and Pork Her! Sorry, not shure where it came from.
-
The resemblance between Quinto and Nimoy is uncanny.
-
nothing else to say
-
Might as well admit it, you are SO hot for Zachary Quinto...
-
stealing his wardrobe...just kidding.
-
Those awkward growing pains.
-
Kirk has a lot of guts coming here after what he pulled...
-
The quality of the Internet is not meeting my standards.
-
And more green to the skin.
-
And he seems to feel good.
-
this look cool
-
Jim, old buddy, don't let me down...
-
Someone must have heard about Spock's little maneuver at the battle of Tanaab.
-
Oh, why not?
-
Nov. 12, 2007, 10:56 p.m. CST
Actually he looks like the guy from Shields and Yarnell
by Orionsangels
I just dated myself hehe. Google it bitches! He's actually dressed like Sulu in ST-III "and don't call me tiny."
-
Is the joke here that Vulcan is a hot planet, so that Spock needs to wear two layers of wool when at academy on Earth? Wow. Full-blooded vulcans must need parkas.
-
The world's greatest rat! No! No! Not the bell!!!
-
Sorta like my late grandfolks who used to live in florida but would freeze their ass off the moment they went north of Georgia.

I just noticed that Spock's ears have a 20 degree upturn on the tips! In the original series they had a 22 degree upturn and nothing less. SCREW YOU ABRAMS!!!! See how you all sound? Pointy-eared douche bags.
-
I'm not sold that this is going to be a great Trek film, but I can be happy that they did some mighty fine casting for young Spock. Quinto's looking good!
-
why?
-
It's so damn beautiful.
-
...Then traveling from Make Up to Wardrobe and then to The Set uniform.
-
Both by how much like Nimoy this Sylar guy looks and at the fact that these pics have been up for almost 4 hours without a 'cease and desist'. I guess Paramount is considering these low priority or they're slipping.
-
So what if Abrams is doing a refreashing or changing something cause if not anything else the Star Trek universe needs some new life breathed into it.
-
BITCHES
-
He looks like a poet with the cape.
-
The voice on the otherhand shall command all opinions.
-
Spock (with prep time) vs Darth Vader... could the Vulcan win any sort of match?
-
Christ, he looks good!
-
maybe harry should change the layout of the front page. add a trek column to go along with coax and the others.
-
pegasus admiral michelle forbes gets her lesbian freak on with one of the hot blonde toasters.
-
..his royal Shatness ? Yall know he has to be in that flick....somewhere ? come on.
-
But THE Mr Spock? I don't know, it's going to take some time before i accept anyone other than Nimoy, Shats and the gang in those iconic roles as they simply WERE Those paople throughout my childhood.
-
Yes i know i love Star Wars {The originals that is} but if one more moron who thinks Star Trek and Star Wars is one in the same says anything about my username they can go back to there mom and dads trailer {which no doubt has a model of the enterprise on it} and go f*ck themselves.Star Trek is dead...who cares.
-
looking forward to seeing the rest of the cast.
-
Is it the diet of Plomeek soup, or that maddening mating ritual Pon Farr? Or is Spock just pissed because Captain Kirk, with his warp-drive libido, has attempted to shag nearly anything female (except maybe T'Pau and that cavern-burrowing Horta)?
-
I care. I'm not a big star trek fan, i think i have seen 4 episodes of the entire franchise and never seen the movies. but this is looking good, has me interested and for sure it will own the prequels.
-
Can't wait to see Eric Bana in his Romulan makeup and uniform.
-
They musta took a whole hour just to make up his face.
-
SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK ... takes breath... SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK !
-
WOW. He looks very, very much like Nimoy there. But can he pull off his 'logical' personality?
-
I am just wondering because there is very little wrong with Classic Trek. If they jettison established canon and make Spock a full Vulcan then this is not Trek for me.
-
A member of the Tal Shiar at that~!
-
I dont know about this....
-
He just looks like another young Vulcan, to me. I don't see the resemblance to Nimoy, at all. If anything,Sylar more resembles Eli Roth. Oh, a quick comment about the plotline ovat at IESB. If that's what the film is about, it sounds interesting. However, i fail to see how this would revive TREK. Are we talking about going on with this cast? If that's the case, then that's just plain nuts. As a one off, this could be quite interesting. I'm just having trouble seeing how it's going to breathe any new life.
-
This will be very interesting. I'm old ... and was never a huge Trek fan, but I'm stoked to see what Abrams does with it. But the questions is, will "the kids" want to see it ... because the "Heroes" cast members are in it?! Or because the "Lost Guy" is writing/directing? The post about "seeing nothing but Sylar" cracked me up. Abrams is a genius.
-
No one said it yet.
-
He's just a willlld and crazzzzeee vulcan!!!
-
different crew and done a Trek movie with them. Then again, would anyone care? I think if they had to go back to the past, how about the formulation of the Federation or something like that? Hate to say it, but this just sounds like a rental at best.
-
Yeah, but can Quinto raise one eyebrow half as good as Nimoy did?
-
He looks like he should be walking around the gangster planet with the never ending 3o'clock shadow on his face. Take a shave damn it. Or go back in time and buy yourself an old fashioned razor.
-
That's what most of this talkback is. Nice job on the look of the Vulcan.
-
...aren't plucked enough!!!! FUCKING ABRAMS!!!
-
I call him "Mr. SINO," bitches! You know, at first I thought he looked hauntingly like Nimoy. Now I think he looks like some guy dressed for a Trek convention. This movie will hurt you like a giant Q-Tip to the gonads.
-
... in the original series... he was a lot angrier and shouted a lot. Not kidding.
-
Perhaps JJ can do a Zemecis and digitally insert TOS Spock as well. new/young Spock, old/young Spock, old/old Spock. And a dancing pony.
-
Sorry 'bout that...
-
Now wouldn't ryan reynolds look great standing next to him as young JT Kirk?
-
Nov. 13, 2007, 12:42 p.m. CST
It's strange how the only time I'm excited for this film
by samurai sark
is when there's Zach Quinto news. I used to hate the guy, but what a vulcan/human he makes.
-
The lyrics to the song "Suck My Spock" off Warp 11 first album by the same name - that is about to be remastered. <p> If you cut me will I not bleed green? If you got half a brain you know what I mean My prime directive is to rock If you don’t like it you can suck my <p> Suck my Spock <p> You don’t like my pointy ears I only Pon Farr every 7 years I got a brain like a digital clock If you don’t like it you can suck my <p> Suck my Spock <p> Well you cannot pronounce my name To me you round ears, you all look the same I’ll do a mind meld but I won’t talk If you don’t like it you can suck my <p> Suck my Spock <p> Warp 11: http://p202.ezboard.com/bwarp11bb

Don't you realize that only about 25% of the Trek movies and TV episodes are any good? To expect this to be some knock your socks off great film is a bit of a reach. Which of the Star Trek movies are great films? Seriously? Even the most died in the wool Trekkie must admit that alot of the Trek stuff is absolute shit. TOS, TNG, Voyager and DSN all had their good episodes and their bad and Enterprise sucked donkey balls. Some of the movies were good, others mediocre and others awful. Star Trek has always been a mixed bag, so why are you suddenly demanding perfection. Just be happy that they are trying to reboot the franchise. It might actually be good.
-
So it seems they've got Spock down perfectly in this new one at least. I'm kind of iffy about the rest of the cast, but I'm still waiting to see a trailer of any sort once it's ready before I'll say this movie will suck or rock.
-
spocks got hos.. <P> in diff-er-ent area codes.
-
There has never been a bad star trek. Even nemesis. Fuck off if you disagree.
-
Though I'm hyped by the casting of Spock I'm a little less enamored by the rest of the cast. After all, who can replace Shatner or Jefferey Hunter? It appears even Abrams hasn't found the answer to that question judging by his other choices.
-
Good choice in Casting, now we need to see who's going to fill Shatners shoes.
-
It's Simon Pegg who's the big what the fuck were they thinking...
-
Let me refresh your broken memory (sorry for the trauma): "Row, row, row your boat..."
-
Let me refresh your broken memory (trauma is just one of the services we offer): Picard driving around in a dune buggy.

... are you kidding me? How about the first one? When I want to really relax, I slot that one into the DVD player and skip to the extended scene where the Enterprise flies through the V'ger cloud... and flies through the V'ger cloud... and flies through the V'ger cloud... and we see close-up reaction shots of the entire 500+ crew members... and the Enterprise flies through the V'ger cloud... and ... I have a nice looong nap! Or what about Star Trek 5: Shatner's Folly? 'Nuff said, there. Or Generations with Kirk's epic death scene, "It's... been... fun!... Oh! Shakespearean in depth, that one. Or the one where they were fighting aliens who go to the same plastic surgeon as Cher and Goldie Hawn... or, err... something. I won't even mention Nemesis because that just wouldn't be a fair fight. No kiddies, there's been a LOT of really, really BAD Trek films, wake the f**k up!
-
... where Kirstie Alley (who was hot back then and looked good as a Vulcan) was replaced with 1980s-poofy-poodlecut-hairdo-chick Vulcan. And friggin' Doc Brown as a Klingon!
-
just sayin.
-
The way I see it, there have been exactly three "good" (as in, decently entertaining) Trek movies: II, III, and IV. Everyone gives VI a pass, because it was the swan swong of the old farts--and it was fun--but a Klingon Christopher Plumber spewing Cliff's Notes Shakespeare quotes doth not a good screenplay make. Everyone also gives First Contact a pass, becuase it had some serious Data and Picard on Borg action, but it was also two completely ridiculous and absoloutely imlausible movies for the price of one. (Hey, Borg go back in time? Hey, how bout next time, Borg blow up whole planet.) As much a hack methinks "Jar-Jar" McAbrams to be, there really is nowhere for this franchise to go but up.
-
...is Insurrection. Yes, even worse than Nemesis - by far.
-
It was most like the series, and light comedy is the Shat's forte. Montalban with a plastic chest is entertaining and all, but it's too unRoddenberry. I'm going to go kill myself now.
-
and "un-Roddenberry" can be good. The first season of TNG was Roddenberry with total control and it was fucking gay.
-
<p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
-
with pictures of the entire cast, before some bad quality leaked pictures like that begin spreading over the internet and giving a poor first impression of the movie.
-
I hope he get the character personality as well as the looks.
-
fucking Variety screwed up and called Spock's human mother Amanda a Vulcan. WTF?!?!
-
shes even more load-worthy now.
-
Kirk: Dramatic Pause Dramatic Pause Dramatic Pause... Kirk, out. Bones: He's Dead Jim. (Insults Spock.) Spock: Fascinating. Logic Logic Logic. (Slyly Insults Bones.) Miniskirts: Panty shot panty shot panty shot Story: A Kirk Clone or some random villain tries to overtake Enterprise. Some threat to the Enterprise randomly appears out of space and is defeated.

And James Marsters is Piccolo. For you Dragonball Z fans out there.
-
Give me a Vulcan kiss!
-
But the lip pucker and the swishy cape don't belong on a starship. Maybe part of Starfleet Academy hazing ritual, the Epsilon Eridani frat. <p> Will the crew be wearing boots made for walking on the ship? That always seemed strange.
-
... an evil blonde Vulcan with a 1992-era-Hillary headband and shaved-off sideburns.
-
i dont watch star trek but is he supposed to be wearing that?

I Don't Think that JJA can top TOS version of Trek.
by DarfurOnTheRocks
Sorry, people are getting hyped up for no absolute reason. JJ will NEVER capture the chemistry of Kirk-Spock-McCoy. I suspect that he wants to tap into the preexisting characterizations of Trek, but then go along and call it a reboot. Abrams, your reimagining mean nothing to me.
-
... they were those culotte things... sort of a skirt/shorts chimera (look it up). Basically shorts with flaps on top to make 'em resemble a skirt. My guess is they were meant to prevent Pipple's "panty shot, panty shots." And besides, they all wore those thick-ass black pantyhose under them anyway. It was the 60s and people were real prudes back then.

Especially good when compared to Spock from "The Cage" pilot.
