Feb 5, 2009 Star Trek Magazine (via TrekMovie) "The Star Trek script is written to play to the strengths of an actor who has those qualities, and Chris Pine is that guy.

That’s one of the things that’s really going to help move it into people’s consciousness in a way that they can really embrace it." - Bruce Greenwood

Jan 30, 2009 LA Times This is the second part of interview that began below.
     
Jan 29, 2009 LA Times 'The key is to appreciate that there are purists and fans of "Star Trek" who are going to be very vocal if they see things that aren’t what what they want. But I can’t make this movie for readers of Nacelles Monthly who are only concerned with what the ship’s engines look like. They’re going to find something they hate no matter what I do." - JJ Abrams
     
Jan 26, 2009 Esurance (via TrekMovie) Coverage of launch of cross-promotion with Esurance. Includes behind the scenes video.
     
Jan 16, 2009 MSNBC (via TrekMovie) Video interview with Robert Orci and JJ Abrams.
     
 Jan 15, 2009 MTV (via TrekMovie) Video interview with Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine.
     
Jan 14, 2009 ScifiWire "They’re big ships, so I’d say that there is a little bit of that, but there’s a little bit more flash and fun and action than you’ve seen before. There are some pretty spectacular visual effects. ILM outdid themselves. It’s amazing." - JJ Abrams
     
Jan 14, 2009 ScifiWire "It’s safe to say that that has not been totally thrown away, but imagine super-advanced submarines. It still maintains some of the maritime origin battle-wise, either a sub battle or ship to ship, cannon to cannon, Master and Commander battle. Just, I think, on a different pace." - Robert Orci
     
Jan 13, 2009 First Showing "The idea of doing a new crew had already become an old idea and the new idea really was going back to the original crew." - Robert Orci
     
Jan 13, 2009 EOnline "There may be some bare midriffs, but you know it's been a long time since the bikini was invented, so I don't think we're going to ruffle any feathers." - Chris Pine
     
Jan 12, 2009 TrekMovie Video Interviews from 2009 Golden Globes.
     
Jan 12, 2009 AP "For Kirk and Spock, it’s charting their lives to a small extent from boyhood and their first encounter, which is a bit contentious, to kind of the beginning of the relationship we all know…They are at odds at first." - Chris Pine
     
Jan 8, 2009 TrekMovie Interview with Barney Burman.
     
Jan 8, 2009 Star Trek Magazine (via TrekMovie) "I saw Zachary Quinto [who plays younger Spock] do things with the character that had never occurred to me, which I found quite delicious. I think he really has found a way to expand the character while at the same time, if you can understand what I’m trying to say, being true to the character." - Leonard Nimoy
     
Jan 2, 2009 Wall Street Journal "I’m not well-versed in the Trek canon, but we’re venturing into territory that’s only been covered in these paperback novels they sell. It’s definitely not going to please everyone. There’s a scene where my character is in a bar and he’s definitely inebriated and under the influence of his own arrogance. It’s him becoming the Kirk everyone knows." - Chris Pine
     
Dec 22, 2008 Facebook (via TrekMovie) "We’re just making final tweaks to the movie — we should be totally locked next week. Then we’re going to flash-freeze it so it’s totally fresh for you in May. I can’t wait for you to see the movie. The cast is awesome. The action and effects pushed the stunt team and ILM beyond their limits. I’m so grateful to this cast and crew — and to all of you for your interest and patience." - JJ Abrams
     
Dec 17, 2008 TrekMovie Video interview with Zachary Quinto, JJ Abrams, and Zoe Saldana.
     
Dec 15, 2008 MTV.com "You make a movie, and I think you always find yourself losing things here and there, embellishing things. It's sort of par for the course. They'll probably end up as deleted scenes on the DVD." - JJ Abrams
     
Dec 12, 2008 TrekMovie Announcing Star Trek XI on IMAX.
     
Dec 11, 2008 TrekMovie "It is the reason why some things are different, but not everything is different. Not everything is inconsistent with what might have actually happened, in canon. Some of the things that seem that they are totally different, I will argue, once the film comes out, fall well within what could have been the non-time travel version of this move." - Robert Orci
     
Dec 10, 2008 Variety Announcing Majel Barrett Roddenberry to play computer voice in the movie.
     
Dec 10, 2008 CBR Interview with writers about the prequel comic book series.
     
Dec 9, 2008 TrekMovie "The humor in it is trying to be character-specific. We are not trying to do what we accused of doing on Transformers, by some of the hardcore fans. And the humor does not go to those places. I think the humor is much more based on who the characters are." - Robert Orci
     
Dec 5, 2008 LATimes "We’re trying to do something in the middle, something that holds on to everything that makes ‘Star Trek’ what it is but also take it into a new place. One thing about the original show was its inherent optimism, and we very much wanted that in this movie. This is a future you would want to live in. And we hope it’s a future people want to watch." - Robert Orci
     
Dec 4, 2008 TrekWeb "About two months ago my wife,Susan, and I saw a near finished version of the new Star Trek movie. Some special effects and new score were not yet in place. Susan can be a very honest and tough critic. When it was clear that the story was wrapping up she turned to me and whispered, " I don't want this movie to end !!" There are some directors who can manage a grand scale and some who can deliver great personal character elements. Not many can do both. JJ Abrams is one of the few. He has given us a wonderful film." - Leonard Nimoy
     
Dec 1, 2008 3News Video interview with Karl Urban.
     
Nov 30, 2008 Sky Movies (via TrekMovie) Video interview with JJ Abrams.
     
Nov 24, 2008 TrekMovie Promotional image for Star Trek XI comic series.
     
Nov 21, 2008 THR "It's insane. We have a life-size Enterprise, but I'm not allowed to talk about it." - JJ Abrams
     
Nov 21, 2008 FemaleFirst "I wanted to begin the trailer in a way that was earthbound and fun, relatable and real, and not necessarily Star Trek at all. Just something that was curious." - JJ Abrams
     
Nov 20, 2008 EOnline "It's trying to be sexed up for a new generation that really isn't used to seeing Star Trek" - Chris Pine

Nov 14, 2008 TrekMovie Summary of Spanish press screenings.
     
Nov 14, 2008 ScifiWire Video interview with Chris Pine.
     
Nov 14, 2008 Empire "There was a big Klingon subplot in this and we actually ended up having to pull it out because it confused the story in a way that I thought was very cool but unnecessary. So we have these beautiful designs that we’re going to have to wait and do elsewhere I guess." - JJ Abrams
     
Nov 12, 2008 TrekMovie Summary of screenings for German press.
     
Nov 12, 2008 TrekMovie "I raided ILM reference photos like a madman. We were deferential to “inviolates” of Star Trek design vocabulary. Additionally, the profile here isn’t 100% representative, because, as you’ve noticed, the Bussards are dimmed. The true profile of the nacelles may or may not be revealed here, and that’s all I’ll say." - Ryan Church
     
Nov 12, 2008 TrekMovie James Cawley talks about the movie.
     
Nov 11, 2008 MySpace "I saw four scenes from Star Trek this morning!! I’m finding it really hard to be articulate here because my head is still spinning. J.J. presented the scenes to a four hundred strong audience of distribution folk and online press. A bundle of pride and excitement, he gave spirited introductions to each clip with his usual combination of nervous energy and sharp wit." - Simon Pegg
     
Nov 11, 2008 EW "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?" - JJ Abrams
     
Nov 11, 2008 TrekMovie Summary of screenings for UK press.
     
Nov 3, 2008 STL Today "When people are paying $150 million to make a movie and your track record is films that are way smaller by comparison, I felt a need to step it up. I wanted to make sure I did my job and did my part and did it as best I could because a lot was on the line." - Chris Pine
     
Oct 31, 2008 TrekMovie Burger King confirms cross promotion with Star Trek movie.
     
Oct 30, 2008 Empire (via TrekMovie) "At a certain point, Star Trek became something totally different, with just the Star Trek name slapped on it. I do appreciate some of the series that came after the original, especially The Next Generation, but The Original Series is to me what Star Trek was all about" - JJ Abrams
     
Oct 29, 2008 Star Trek Magazine (via TrekMovie) "Kirk’ interesting because he is the Everyman presented with an unbelievably epic, daunting task, an opportunity, a challenge, and he has a very difficult choice to make. It just happens it’s one of the big ones, like "try to save Planet Earth" kind of thing." - Chris Pine
     
Oct 28, 2008 Empire "or me, the costumes were a microcosm of the entire project, which was how to take something that's kind of silly and make it feel real. But how do you make legitimate those near-primary colour costumes? How do you make legitimate the pointy ears and the bowl haircut? It's ridiculous and as potentially cliched as it gets. How do you watch Galaxy Quest and then go make a Star Trek movie?" - JJ Abrams
     
Oct 27, 2008 Collider Video interview with Chris Pine.
     
Oc 24, 2008 Variety "All I was doing was heaping upon myself an incredible amount of responsibility, weighing myself down with ‘You must remember to act this way’ and such…That’s when I was really able to let go and accept the parameters that J.J. set forth in the beginning, which was to bring what was special and unique about us to the roles." - Chris Pine
     
Oct 21, 2008 ScifiWire "So this one I enjoyed probably the most since I've enjoyed, like, Wrath of Khan." - Kevin Smith
     
Oct 23, 2008 UGO "I think, I don’t know, but it felt to me on set, particularly with the vibe that JJ creates on set, that it’s going to come off really well. I mean Chris is fantastic, Zack [Quinto] is really, really good. I think they made really wise choices in the cast. And JJ, of course, is force of nature." - Bruce Greenwood
