Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have been doing interviews left and right for "Star Trek," and they sat down with Paul Byrne of Movies.ie and talked about re-creating – or NOT re-creating, as the case may be – the iconic characters of Capt. Kirk and Spock.

Quinto’s amazing lack of emotion when Spock interacts onscreen with the beautiful Zoe Saldana (Uhura) also came up. "Star Trek" is in theaters right now, and I loved it. Read my review here.

It’s not often you get a reboot that takes you right back into the story and characters without being cheesy. But "Star Trek" manages to do just that. Under J.J. Abrams’ skillful directing, the movie is funny, sweet, and engaging, with good special effects that keep you hooked through to the end. I wasn’t sure he’d be able to pull it off, but he did.

The story takes us back to the time of James T. Kirk’s dramatic birth. His father, George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth) suddenly finds himself promoted to the captain of a Starfleet vessel. During an attack, he saves his wife (House’s Jennifer Morrison) and new baby, as well as the rest of the crew. It sets the tone for the movie and James’s life. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill.

The premiere of "Star Trek" didn’t get a red carpet premiere; it got a black carpet premiere. ReelzChannel caught up with the stars on the black carpet, and I’m sure they’re all feeling like Chris Pine (Capt. Kirk), who says he feels like he’s in a "wind tunnel" with all the press they’ve been doing.

Hear what Pine, Leonard Nimoy, and others have to say about it below (could there be a sequel or two in the works?). "Star Trek" hits theaters this Friday, May 8, 2009, and catch all of Film Gecko’s coverage here.

The stars came out in full force for the Los Angeles premiere of “Star Trek,” held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on April 30, 2009. That’s Playboy bunny and Girl Next Door herself, Kendra Wilkinson, pictured below. See more pics after the jump. The rest of us can see the movie when it arrives in theaters at warp speed on May 8, 2009.

Ten new images for "Star Trek" are below, and as with the previous images, these look fantastic. I’m especially intrigued by the platform scene, and what exactly that is. Chris Pine makes a dashing Captain Kirk, and check out the last image - it looks like similar technology to what Tom Cruise used in "Minority Report" (great movie, by the way!).

What do you think of these images? Do they make you want to go see the movie (in theaters May 8, 2009)?
