Star Trek is a 2009 science fiction film directed by J. J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is the eleventh Star Trek film and a prequel to The Original Series, featuring characters such as Kirk (played by Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), McCoy (Karl Urban), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Sulu (John Cho) and Chekov (Anton Yelchin). The film will also depict Kirk and Spock's childhoods. Leonard Nimoy reprises his role as the older Spock, and Eric Bana appears as the villainous Nero. The film will be released on May 8, 2009 in North America.
Filming began on November 7, 2007. The shoot was to last eighty-five days, taking place on 11 sets built at the Paramount backlot, as well as two weeks of location shooting in Iceland. Filming was also done at Long Beach, California, and at California State University, Northridge (which was used for establishing shots of students at Starfleet Academy). Principal photography was completed on March 27, 2008, although second unit filming took place during early April in Bakersfield, California, standing in for Kirk's childhood home in Iowa.
The design work for the film is being primarily done by Transformers designer Ryan Church and Trek veteran John Eaves. NASA Imaging Science leader Carolyn Porco is a consultant on planetary science and imagery for the film. The production team has maintained heavily enforced security around the film. Karl Urban revealed, "There is a level of security and secrecy that we have all been forced to adopt. I mean, it's really kind of paranoid crazy, but sort of justified. We're not allowed to walk around in public in our costumes and we have to be herded around everywhere in these golf carts that are completely concealed and covered in black canvas. The security of it is immense. You feel your freedom is a big challenge." Actors including Jennifer Morrison were only given the scripts of their scenes. The film's budget has been estimated at over US$130 million, with Leonard Nimoy indicating an approximate US$150 million final figure, the largest for any Star Trek film to date.
In February 2008, Paramount announced they would move Star Trek from its December 25, 2008 release date to May 8, 2009. The move was not due to the end of the WGA strike, but to the studio feeling that more audiences would go see the film during summer than winter. The film will still be practically finished by the end of 2008. The studio chose May 8 because it avoided competition with X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Angels & Demons, out in the same month. Paramount's decision came about after visiting the set and watching dailies, as they realized the film could appeal to a much broader audience. Even though the filmmakers liked the Christmas release date, Damon Lindelof acknowledged it would allow more time to perfect the visual effects.
