Fused Photos: The New USS Enterprise NCC-1701
Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive new, first look at the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) from JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek.
In the article JJ Abrams talked about the significant nature of the ship and its role within the series, saying:
“If you’re going to do Star Trek there are many things you cannot change. The Enterprise is a visual touchstone for so many people. So if you’re going to do the Enterprise, it better look like the Enterprise, because otherwise, what are you doing?”
In the article JJ, who is not a proclaimed “Trekkie” talked about his love for the scene in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, when the audience along with Kirk, first sees the Enterprise.
“The coolest thing about it—maybe the coolest thing in the movie—was when you flew around the ship, you could see all the different panels that made up the ship,” says the director of the forthcoming Trek reboot, slated for a May 8, 2009 release. “It was the first time I had ever seen that level of attention, that love of detail, given to the tangible, practical reality of the ship.”
I do not think it looks that bad. I like the little differences but ultimately it is the same ship from the original and that to me just shows JJ’s ability to not stray from the original too much. I love this a lot and can’t wait to see a trailer.
Anyway, that is for all you readers to decide! Below is another photo you can use to compare the ships.
