Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons gives us a preview of the bonus material that I am most looking forward to:
Going through the much anticipated fifteen minutes of deleted scenes, all the cuts consisted of three subplots - more Sarek (Ben Cross)/Amanda (Winona Ryder) backstory, Kirk (Chris Pine) hooking up with the Orion girl (Rachel Nichols) in order to hack the Kobiyashi Maru simulation, and the one many have been waiting for - the Klingons capture of Nero's (Eric Bana) crew.
Filling in the big gaping plot hole of what Nero's crew got up to in the 25 years between the USS Kellvin attack and elder Spock's arrival, the two scenes feature the ship being captured by a Klingon fleet, and then later an interrogation and escape from Rura Penthe penal colony (which looks like a concrete factory rather than the ice planet seen in "Star Trek VI").
The Klingons themselves aren't fully shown, rather quite striking "Predator-esque" chrome helmets with Klingon-style ridges and heavy trenchcoats cover the actors, leaving only the areas around their eyes and mouths free. It's a look that Abrams admits on the commentary that they hope to bring back in any potential sequel but also keeps any potential redesign of the aliens under wraps...
Here are two bonus Trek related bits o news...
J.J. Abrams Not Directing "Mission: Impossible IV'
He tells MTV
"I'm producing with Tom" adding. "My guess is, given other things, that I will not be directing the movie."
Will he helm a reboot of Superman: Man of Steel instead?
"No one has talked to me about it," Abrams said in the same interview. "Obviously, I’m sure Warner Bros. has a plan for what they want to do." (Uh, No they don't)
Leaving the door wide open for J.J. to helm the Star Trek Sequel.
While Trek screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are not producing Doc Savage as previously reported...
Neil Moritz and Ori Marmur (The Green Hornet) are producing the film instead.
