Star Trek: The Art of the Film
By Mark Cotta Vaz.
Foreword by J. J. Abrams.
Published by Titan Books.
Film tie-in edition.
Published 2009.
Hardcover.
ISBN-10: 1848566204
ISBN-13: 978-1848566200
Description:
Director J.J. Abrams’ new vision of the greatest space
adventure of all time, Star Trek features a young, new crew venturing
boldly where no man has gone before, as it tells the story of how the brash
Starfleet cadet James T. Kirk first meets a Vulcan named Spock, and earns the
Captain’s chair of the Starship Enterprise. The film quickly became a critical
and commercial smash hit worldwide, as audiences – confirmed Trekkers and
newcomers alike – 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.
Written by New York Times-bestselling author
Mark Cotta Vaz in close co-operation with the film’s production team, and
including a Foreword by J.J. Abrams, this is the essential companion to the
film.
