New Set Photo of Spock from the J.J. Abrams STAR TREK Sequel


Back in February, we brought you the first behind the scenes images from the set of director J.J. Abrams‘ forthcoming, as yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel, starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Now, thanks to the folks over at MTV we have a new pic from behind the scenes, featuring Spock (Zachary Quinto) in what’s being called the “volcano suit.” Check out the image below, along with a description of the scene being shot.

“Zachary Quinto as Spock filming an action scene for the Untitled Star Trek 2 Sequel. After first rehearsing the scene with a Spock stunt double, actor Zachary Quinto was then rigged to a wire in front of a large green screen and lifted to a height of 10 stories high then dropped at a high rate of speed as if he was falling. In the scene, Spock is wearing a “Volcano Suit” and carrying an unknown piece of equipment with the Starfleet Emblem. A volcano is somehow involved in this scene. The crew had a real fire burning off camera to catch the fire reflections on Spock’s “Volcano Suit.”

The as yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, Peter Weller, Nazneen Contractor and Noel Clarke is slated to hit theaters on May 17th, 2013.
