STAR TREK's Enterprise gets a makeover from various artists

Wednesday, April 8, 2009


As part of the promotions for J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek big screen reboot, various artists have been commissioned to do their own redesigns of Industrial Light & Magic's movie version of the USS Enterprise.

For THE ENTERPRISE PROJECT, the artists were given 34-inch long, plastic models of the film's CGI ship, and then they set to work creating their own custom versions. The results range from whimsical (like the Oreo Enterprise) to creepy (like the ship being strangled by some sort of colossal alien thing in Quantum Mechanix's version.)

The ships will begin touring the globe in March... Which seems like a very long time from now, given that the film premieres in May.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
