Karl Urban
The Japanese know how to do it!
They are ever so slightly out of their minds…but in a really good way.
At the Japanese premiere of Star Trek in Tokyo last night, a replica of the Starship Enterprise was landed on the red carpet.
Hot!
And basking in the Enterprise’s blue glow were producer Bryan Burk (the short rich guy on the end), director J.J. Abrams (our idol), and the hottest man candy this side of the Milky Way.
John Chu, Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, Eric Bana and Karl Urban, all pressed up against each other in a smokeshow smorgasbord.
Do you want to know what’s totally frickin’ awesome?
The new Star Trek movie is totally frickin’ awesome.
From the moment the film, the eleventh in the franchise’s history, begins, it is relentlessly, absurdly, unyieldingly awesome.
Walking in, our fandom skewed more toward J.J. Abrams and his Felicity-Lost legacy than the Trekkie world, but from the moment those familiar starships, at the film’s beginning the USS Kelvin, not the USS Enterprise, dip into sight, a sudden, unexpected glee rushed over us.
He may play the unemotional, hyper-logical Dr. Spock, but Leonard Nimoy found himself constantly fighting back tears on the set of J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek film.
Nimoy reprises his role of the iconic Vulcan and admits he was a blubbering mess as he watched characters from the original 1960s TV series meeting for the first time in the new prequel.
The scene he struggled with the most was when Captain Kirk, played by Chris Pine, met Karl Urban’s Dr. McCoy for the first time.
