Here's a new poster for this summer's Star Trek, and it goes to light speed...at least I think so. This could be a pretty butterfly, or an arm with a hammer coming out of its sleeve. It's a cool enough design, but it looks like a Rorschach test, or the Enterprise flying through a bunch of liquid adamantium.

This week, three other posters were released as well. They are all international posters, and the imagery is much cooler than this one. Two of them you can check out here and here. Both of them are similar to other blockbuster "floating head" style posters like this Iron Man poster. The final one is my favorite, and it's reminiscent of the Independence Day poster.

Anyway, it's not the posters that keep getting me excited for the movie. It's the amazing trailers. May 8 can't get here soon enough if only because this will give hardcore nerds a break from furious masturbation for a a couple hours.

Last week, nearly everyone who caught Watchmen (which I have a review of coming up soon), was treated to a new trailer for J.J. Abrams franchise reboot of Star Trek. If the movie is anywhere near as good as the trailers are making it out to be, Star Trek will no longer be liked by the lonely and obsessed Tribble-loving fanboy and fangirl Trekkies. If this film hits as hard as it looks like it's going to, Star Trek will be mainstream cool.

Nearly everything Abrams has touched (Lost, Mission:Impossible 3, Cloverfield) has turned to solid gold success. There's no doubt in my mind that he's the next Spielberg. He's handling Star Trek with the love of a geek, but he's not isolating it from those who aren't familiar with the series. The cast is young, and even though he looks a bit too young, the more I see of Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, the more bad ass he seems. Zacahry Quinto (Heroes' only interesting character Sylar) already had my support for Spock, but I still want to see some more of Simon Pegg as Scotty. Within this trailer we get some great new action shots, and new footage of Eric Bana as alien villain Nero, and even House M.D.'s Jennifer Morrison as Kirk's mother.

I'm definitely pumped for Star Trek, but it's going to take some getting used to that Star Trek might be cool enough to get you laid by a girl who isn't dressed up as some sort of Vulcan dominatrix...or for that matter, any girl...period. Do you want to see Star Trek?

Not everything warrants a full fledged blog posting all by itself, and thus The Screen Rider presents to you: Cinema Bits. This feature will be a collection of briefs over small tidbits of news you may have missed.

Star Trek - Paramount Pictures announced that it will be attaching a new trailer for the J.J. Abrams directed franchise reboot with copies of Watchmen when it is released on March 6. Both the first trailer and the Super Bowl spot were pretty intense, but I wonder how many people will suddenly be excited about this film when the target demographic seeing Watchmen, more than likely already knows about Star Trek

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - From Transformer World 2005 (I'm not sure why their website is called this) comes the first picture of the titular Transformer known as Fallen. The picture is that of some sort of toy that will be released. This should be a pretty epic villain considering the villains who don't get title focus are GINORMOUS as was seen in the Super Bowl TV spot.

X-Men: First Class - The last time we heard about this upstart, it was announced that Josh Schwartz (creator of series like Chuck, Gossip Girl, and The OC) would be writing the script, and there was much speculation about whether he would make his directorial debut with the film. Well Schwartz recently talked to MTV and told them he hasn't been asked to direct and "would be terrified to have the first thing I direct be a giant franchise movie." He did go on to rule out any focus on the Dark Phoenix storyline, which is the crux story of the X-Men universe, simply because it was done (albeit poorly) in X-Men: The Last Stand. Still no word on who this young, first class of X-Men will be.

Untitled Woody Allen Project - Variety reported that Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins will star in Woody Allen's next film set to shoot in London this summer. They are the first to join what is said to become an ensemble cast, but in typical Woody Allen fashion the script, plot and even title are being kept under tight wraps. I loved Vicky Christina Barcelona, and look forward to any Woody Allen project.

Untitled Adam Sandler Ensemble Comedy - Variety announced negotiations with Kevin James, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and David Spade to all star in a comedy directed by Dennis Dugan (who nailed comedy with Happy Gilmore and then gouged out its eyes with You Don't Mess with the Zohan). The film will follow "five best friends from high school who reunite 30 years later on a Fourth of July weekend." Dugan and Sandler's Happy Madison Productions have made some real agonizing comedic films, but I'll wait for a trailer before I rain on this parade.

The Rum Diary - The film based on the Hunter S. Thompson novel of the same name just picked up recently Academy Award nominated actor Richard Jenkins, and Aaron Eckhart to join the cast (according to The Hollywood Reporter). Similar to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (a film that made me feel like I was on drugs, but not in a good way) the film follows journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) on a drug and alcohol binge as he comes to term with the fact that his life may never get any better as he sulks away in 1950's San Juan.

After J.J. Abrams foray into Star Trek there won't be many people who will be able to make fun of it anymore. This spot looks intense and more and more like an action movie in science fiction clothes. Abrams already got the Mission: Impossible franchise to go back to its roots with a team of agents working together, and not just a Tom Cruise vehicle, and it looks like he's bringing back Star Trek too. Enterprise crew is full of young talent and Simon Pegg's presence on the bridge is all the more reason for plenty more people to check this one out this summer. Trailer is embedded below. Are you going to boldly go where 10 films have gone before?
