(W) Mark Cotta Vaz; Foreword by J.J. Abrams
Director J.J. Abrams's new vision of the greatest space adventure, Star Trek, features a young, new crew venturing boldly where no man has gone before. The film quickly became a critical and commercial smash hit worldwide, as audiences thrilled to a state-of-the-art action epic which both respected the legacy of Gene Roddenberry's archetypal modern myth and forged ahead into an exciting future of its own. Star Trek: The Art of the Film is a lavishly illustrated celebration of that new vision, tracing the evolution of the movie's look through a stunning array of previously unseen pre-production paintings, concept sketches, costume and set designs, unit photography, and final frames.
