New Trek Costumes (Or, Reason #3,456,242 Why I Love The Net)

Nov 09

There are “spy pics” now online that allegedly give us “a glimpse” of the costumes being worn by crew members in the upcoming JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movie.

Thing is, the extras photographed traipsing around the backlot are required to wear long, bulky, and totally protective black trenchcoats–just to thwart this kind of spy work from being executed.

So if you squint, really really hard, and clap your hands and make a wish, you MIGHT see a SLIGHT swatch of color. Maybe. Sorta. Kinda.

Yet there I was, squinting and clapping and wishing, like any dutiful nerd.

How did we view largely useless spy photography of a major movie shoot before the web? I don’t even remember.
