TrekMovie: Star Trek Trailer #3: Shot-By-Shot Analysis

This post, ST09 Tidbits (T-59 days): Heroes Preview?, ST09 Game?, Spock Fu?, Nero Wart? + more? has a link to a website which has some drawings of the new Enterprise. It also has a snippet from an interview with Zachary Quinto:

Quinto: There was originally in the film a sequence that was, I think it was, like, Spock against like six people hand to hand. And so I spent a lot of time learning this particular form of martial arts, and … then, literally two days before we were shooting it, J.J. was like, ‘Yeah, we’re not going to do that. We’re not going to do that. It’s going to be a gunfight.’ And I was like, ‘OK … ‘ It’s actually worked out better, though. J.J. is always with a mind toward balance. And I think he understood in the context of the film what it needed, and it didn’t need that in that moment, and so it changed.


Vulcan martial arts?
