The poster for Star Trek: Nemesis
Take a look at this piece of Shinzon.
Trek Today was the first to notice the teaser poster for Star Trek: Nemesis, which was recently posted online by the folks at Faction Creative. The teaser one-sheet, pictured below, shows Reman leader Shinzon in his shimmering costume. The poster bares the film's tagline: "A Generation's Final Journey Begins," and touts the December 13th release date.
The poster should start appearing in US theaters over the upcoming July 4th holiday weekend. The teaser trailer, recently released online, also makes its theatrical debut this weekend in front of Men in Black II.
Faction Creative, the advertising company that designed the poster, has done website and print work for several major studios. The company has previously designed the posters for Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Trek: First Contact, Titan A.E., The Truman Show and Tomb Raider.
In other Trek news, Empire recently talked to Patrick Stewart about the tough salary negotiations that he went through before officially signing on to the project. "I was a breath away from saying this is not worth the time. An absolute breath away," he says. "They were negotiating so uncompromisingly that it had reached the point where humiliation was the only way of settling this and I wasn't prepared to do that."
And what of the rampant script leaks? Stewart says, "That annoys the hell out of me. I don't know why people want to know what's going to happen. What satisfaction could you get out of that? I understand people wanting to know who's in it, who are the villains, but blow-by-blow accounts mystify me. On X-Men 2 I have a script with my name and code number printed across every page. It's a case of 'read your script and eat it.'"

SPY KIDS 2 trailer
His first-ever pilot script got picked up by CBS and was made with feature-quality production values by Jerry Bruckheimer's bustling TV operation and Warner Bros. TV. The missing-persons drama "Without a Trace" was on CBS' hot list throughout development season, and so it was no surprise in May when the show was called up to bat on CBS' fall 2003 lineup.
And even when "Trace" landed the time slot opposite the reigning Babe Ruth of primetime dramas, NBC's "ER," Steinberg took the glass-half-full view and focused on the fact that 10 p.m. Thursday is the best launching pad CBS has to offer, coming out of the fast-growing "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
"It's also a place where a lot of groundbreaking television has been done," noted Steinberg, who gained notice and an Emmy nom last year as the screenwriter of HBO's Roger Maris biopic "61*." He also penned FX's upcoming telefilm on Robert F. Kennedy.
Steinberg, a New York native, had toiled on feature scripts and longform projects after moving to Los Angeles, fresh out the University of Pennsylvania, in the early 1990s. He wanted to segue to series TV, but he had no intention of fielding a police procedural vehicle when he had his first pilot development powwow with CBS execs last year.
But the network helped him hook up with Bruckheimer, whose TV chief, Jonathan Littman, already had the idea (and, more importantly, a pilot commitment) for a project based on missing persons investigators. Steinberg saw it as a unique opportunity to weave a deeply layered character piece around an old-fashioned whodunit.
"In most (cop) shows, the story is about catching the criminal, but here it's about uncovering the true nature of the person who is missing -- their secrets, their dirty laundry -- in order to figure out what happened to them," Steinberg said. "That idea was instantly really cool to me. We're doing a movie every week about a missing person who starts as a blank slate, and we've got to fill in the details of their life. ... By the end of each show, the question of who the missing person is comes into focus for the audience and merges with the resolution of what happened to them."
