MEET THE CREW

The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine starts our exclusive account of the making of Star Trek, with the first batch of interviews from the key personnel involved in the creation of the film, including writers, director of photography and the costume designer.

FEATURES:

NERO AND AYEL

We interview the villains of the new movie in the latest issue, as Eric Bana explains why he became involved: "The script was incredibly smart, well written and well structured. I thought the writers had done an unbelievable job of paying enough service to many characters so succinctly but thoroughly."

Meanwhile, his lieutenant, Clifton Collins Jr remembers the disorienting feeling when he came to shoot his first scene on the Bridge of the Narada. "My heart started racing and I thought, 'This looks like that Star Trek thing... Wait a minute, this is Star Trek!"

ROBERTO ORCI & ALEX KURTZMAN

The writers and producers of Star Trek talk honestly and openly about the genesis of the movie, and some of the paths they decided not to take. Learn what role Nurse Chapel might have played, and why the description of Nero as a trucker works so well for them. Plus, an explanation as to what forces guide Kirk to meet Spock Prime, the thinking behind the Spock/Uhura romance, the original name for the U.S.S. Kelvin, and why Bones was so worried about going into space when traveling from Iowa to California.

COSTUME DESIGNER MICHAEL KAPLAN

Lavishly illustrated with exclusive costume designs from the film, the award winning designer explains the roots of the various different outfits seen in Star Trek ­ from the 23rd Century casual wear sported by Jim Kirk to the faux fur that adorned Nero's costume. Learn which famous designers from the 1960s inspired the Vulcan Academy outfits and just how far away the Romulan costumes were made from the Paramount lot!

ERIC BANA MAKES CAPTAIN KIRK HIS BITCH

The Australian actor played a conflicted beast in Hulk and a troubled assassin in Munich. Now the antihero from Down Under channels pure evil as Star Trek's new villain.

AT THE AGREED-UPON HOUR of 2 P.M. a Nissan Pathfinder pulls up outside a sidewalk café in downtown Melbourne and Eric Bana gets out, all long and brawny, wearing jeans and a navy T-shirt. "G'day, mate, how you going? Fancy some lunch?" He's pally in that Aussie-bloke way: big handshake, singsong brogue—he even says things like "fair dinkum."

The plan is that he's going to show me around his hometown. We set off for our first destination, an Italian restaurant. As soon as we pull out into traffic, Bana enthusiastically starts playing the role of tour guide. He's selling the place like a Realtor. "Stop me if I bore you shitless," he says while changing lanes.

Eric Bana continues his press tour, making an appearance at the UK Film Premiere of Star Trek at the Empire Leicester Square on Monday (April 20) in London, England.

At the premiere, the 40-year-old star talked a little bit about his character Nero. “It’s a huge thrill to be able to turn up in a movie as a villain that hasn’t been seen before. I guess it’s a sense of freedom at not being the moral center of the film, not having to worry about how the character looks - that was quite liberating. It was a lot of fun,” Eric told Empire.

British actor Simon Pegg said, “For me, tonight is very special. It’s the Empire Leicester Square. I saw films here as a child… it’s a geek dream come true.”
