Yesterday Entertainment Weekly offered a glimpse of four Star Trek teaser posters that Paramount Pictures will be handing out next week at Comic-Con (about the only presence the J.J. Abrams movie will have there). However, the image was so small I wanted to wait until something better was released before I posted anything.
Now the wait’s over, as the movie’s official website has been updated with high-res versions of all four posters. You can see all of them after the break …

I’m amazed at how much Quinto like Spock/Nimoy, but the others? Well, I can’t really judge Tattoohead(that’s Eric Bana, right?) since he’s a new character, but I’m not all sold on the “new” Kirk and Uhura. If I didn’t know it was a Star Trek poster, I certainly wouldn’t know who either of them are supposed to be.
I still feel like the movie will hinge on how good the kid playing Kirk is… I don’t think Chris Pine can carry Shatner’s jock, and he looks like he’d cry for his mommy the first time a Klingon challenges him to a fight, but hopefully I’m wrong and the movie won’t suck.
I just wish The Next Generation had made better movies (First Contact was their only good one, and even that one had its flaws) and helped pave the way for either DS9 movies or at least movies that integrated DS9 characters/concepts into the mix. I’m not fond of recasting the original characters and Trek looking backwards.

How much you wanna bet that the fourth one is actually Scotty (or McCoy) in his “rebellous” phase?
