Six-issue series offers exclusive
scenes not in film
San Diego, CA (February 25, 2010) - With a record-breaking run at
the box office and huge sales of the tie-in comic books, fans
proved they can't get enough of the blockbuster film Star
Trek. Now, director J.J. Abrams and
screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex
Kurtzman have teamed up with IDW Publishing to present
Star Trek: The Official Movie Adaptation.
This six-issue miniseries details every pivotal moment from the
film, including scenes from the original screenplay that were not
in the final movie. The same creative team that brought fans the
New York Times bestselling Star Trek: Countdown
will again make Trek magic.
With issue #1 available in stores this week, the Star
Trek: The Official Movie Adaptation offers yet
another layer to this already complex and engaging new reality.
"Everything about this movie was great, and when you have so much
amazing material, not all of it can make the final cut," said IDW
Star Trek Editor Scott Dunbier.
Working closely with screenwriters Orci and Kurtzman, and with the consultation of Abrams, Countdown writers Mike Johnson and Tim Jones again join forces with renowned artist David Messina on the movie adaptation.
"We are excited to bring fans a unique way to experience the movie again," said Johnson and Jones, "especially with the amazing David Messina on board. The band is back together."
Star Trek: The Official Movie Adaptation #1, (of 6; $3.99, 32 page color; a licensed product of CBS Consumer Products) is now available in stores. Diamond order code #DEC09 0908.
