Thanks to TrekMovie (and Imp Awards) for our first Star Trek character posters. Seriously, aren't character posters the shiznit? We owe it all to the Matrix sequels, by the way, as painful as that is to admit. Those were really the first excellent use of the concept.
Both The Dark Knight and Hellboy capitalized on it this summer, and now looking ahead to next May, here's the first batch for Trek featuring (clockwise) Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Eric Bana.
Dig them Spock ears.
These are part of the glut of merchandising that will hit Comic Con next weekend, and if you're interested in bigger, slightly higher resolution versions of these posters, you can find them at /film.
Also from TrekMovie, international release dates, which have Belgium, Switzerland, and France getting the movie on Wednesday the 6th, with a few more countries premiering the film on Thursday the 7th,

Bay Area filmbud Peter Sciretta has posted the four new character teaser posters released by Paramount Pictures, even though no Star Trek panel will take place at Comic Con 2008.

In case you missed the update, Star Trek is no longer opening at the end of this year. Instead, Paramount has moved the J.J. Abrams reboot to May 2009, although I frankly would've preferred it as a fall/winter tentpole because we have enough summer franchises as it is.
I love the idea of having a guy like J.J. Abrams put this movie together. There simply aren't too many popcorn dramatists who ask the question "What if we do this?" with results as entertaining and unique as Abrams. Even diehard Trekkies might be forced to admit that Star Trek was long overdue for a new set of eyes and a fresh coat of paint.
They're going the prequel route with a promising cast that includes Chris Pine as Captain Kirk,
