Press Release

TITAN'S GOING TREKKING!

Revealing The Art Of STAR TREK
® For The First Time!


Titan Books is thrilled to announce a new deal with CBS Consumer Products to bring fans an amazing, official, behind-the-scenes compendium to one of 2009's hottest movies - STAR TREK: THE ART OF THE FILM!
 
Director J.J. Abrams was characteristically tight-lipped pre-release, keeping all the details of the fantastic film closely under wraps. Now, Abrams has given Titan his seal of approval to reveal all on the incredible production, unveiling for the first time all the behind-the-scenes workings of the film, from start to finish.
 
Written by New York Times-bestselling author Mark Cotta Vaz, in close co-operation with the film's production team, Star Trek: The Art of the Film is a lavishly illustrated hardcover celebration of that new vision, tracing the evolution of the movie's look. Encompassing a stunning and totally unseen array of pre-production paintings, concept sketches, costume and set designs, unit photography and final frames, the coffee-table tome also includes an exclusive foreword from J.J. Abrams himself.
 
Starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Karl Urban as Bones and Zoe Saldana as Uhura, with Eric Bana, Winona Ryder, Leonard Nimoy, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin and John Cho, Star Trek has been a critical and commercial smash hit worldwide. Hardened Trekkies and newcomers alike were thrilled by Abrams' 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.
 
Priced at $29.95 / £24.99, this collectible volume is set for release on alongside the DVD and Blu-Ray releases on November 17th 2009. The movie is essential viewing and this is the essential companion.

"I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry



"...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry

They should do some in-universe companion books too, along the lines of the TNG/DS9 Technical Manuals - but perhaps more like the Star Wars 'Essential Guides'.

I, for one, would like to see a book featuring each starship class shown in the film (about 5-6 Federation ones), complete with blueprints for the decks, weapons systems, and other statistics - plus something on the Narada, Klingon Warbirds, etc.
