Sneak Peek: Star Trek

As audiences await JJ Abrams’ big-screen update of Star Trek, crashing into theaters May 8th, MM readers can get a sneak peek behind the scenes in these two pages of set photos, courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

A young James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) share an intense moment aboard the USS Enterprise in the new Star Trek, hitting theaters May 8.

Eric Bana returns to his Hulk roots to go green again as Nero, the creepy Romulan villian. 

Chris Pine going all Cliffhanger as James T. Kirk. Hopefully he hangs on long enough to become the Captain Kirk audiences all know and love.
