New Star Trek Beyond concept art

Some really cool stuff here, including early versions of Yorktown from before they went totally bonkers with the spiralling arms. Also plans for the Kelvin pod, the Federation shuttle and different versions of Krall's drone army. There's also some planet stuff from Orci's unmade version of Beyond.

Don't see full construction blueprints much. Very cool.

 

The shuttle looks similar to the type 11 from INS

 

The shuttle looks basically identical to the so-called Takayama type from the preceding movie - the only real differences are in the cockpit forward windows (the windshield now wraps around the corners), and the aerial on top of the cockpit (now missing) and the side "impulse engine" bulges astern (now added).

So I don't quite see what would be meant by executing this one in prop form. It had been a prop or at least an interactive interior set in the previous movie: surely that one would have been used as is, even if (and probably when) it had been struck down, with someone at carpentry dusting off the old blueprints?

These are amazing and cool.

Also, until I clicked on the first photo, it looked like the Galaxy class nacelles were redesigned to be like TOS, with the light reflecting off it looking like plasma.

 

Great work certainly.

If an intruder were to materialize on board, I could see this exploded view come to life, unfurl to a particular deck to a close up of a moving dot

Some of those background alien makeups are a little plasticky (since they're not meant to be seen up close) but otherwise the alien designs in Beyond are excellent.

 

I just wish they'd shown them more

 

If The Motion Picture is any indication, give it 40 years and they'll pluck one of them for a small part in the current series

I finally see the redshirt alien with Science Officer 0718's headpiece. I wonder why they didn't just use Joseph Gatt, since I know he was fitted for a uniform. Makes me wonder how many of these weird cyborg officers Starfleet has.

 

Looking at other stuff on the site I never knew about:
-Spock Primes Trek V photo was originally going to be a photo of them in the TOS era? (which wouldn't really make sense as they'd be too close in age to the Kelvin counterparts)

-Cancelled ST09 Spocks Playmates (including TOS era figures tie ins to the 2009 film)

Looking for Orci ST3 design stuff on there but can't seem to find any

 

I'd heard that, but I think the STV era photo worked so much better because you could kind of fudge that they'd grow to look like those counterparts (at least as much as in X-Men: Days of Future Past)

 

Everyone I've talked with who worked on ST Beyond tells me Orci's version was better. There's plenty of art out there now from it, and I expect one day a book will be written about it.

I wonder how many of them would say that if STB had been a massive hit.

 

It's my favorite by a smidge over ST09, but the BTS scenes guys are so adamant it makes me really curious!

Release the Orci cut!!

 

I remember him writing somewhere a couple years ago that he was looking into putting out the script online at some point. Whether or not this ever actually happens remains to be seen.

 

paramount is so confused of what to do regarding a new Trek film hopefully they'll re-greenlight Orcis ST3 for immediate post corona lockdown shoot so off the cuff Shatner has to cancel a bunch of convention appearances for emergency filming!

 

In your obsessed dreams.

 

No they're not confused, we're just not privy to it. They have a Tarantino script which is written by an Oscar winner, and it may or may not be made but it's a long-range project. They also continue to tout the Noah Hawley project in press releases as well as their margin call.
