Fab28 is in Israel, right?

Indeed. I'm sitting in my cube being boared...
I got it to load at school. All it was is a flash animation of a futuristic door opening showing that "Enterprise" corridor and an e-mail sign up. I signed up but I'm not too sure about the validity of the site. For one thing, the link to the official movie site is written as "startrekthemovie.com" but the link is aimed at the correct site "startrekmovie.com" Also the graphics are quite pixelated....not sure if Intel would be cool with a site with such poorly rendered graphics.
I didn't know Fab 18 was sold.
I work at Fab 12.

Fab28, Fab18 was sold to Numonix.
The page still won't load

Cool. How did you like your stay in the Phoenix Area?
That's a corridor from the NX-class Enterprise commanded by Archer. 
I mean, I'd like tips of the hat and some continuity between 22nd century canon and the new movie, but that'd be ridiculous.

Are we SURE about that?
All we actually know is that it's a corridor. Maybe that's a corridor on the "Pre-TOS" ship we know will be prominently shown. Maybe it's just stock footage from the NX-01 (as some others have indicated).
Maybe they saved some of the sets from "Enterprise" to serve as Captain Rabau's (sp?) ship... just for example.
Like he said, it's clearly a corridor from ENT.
If it is part of the Kelvin I wouldn't care. I mean, Enterprise was pretty crap, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the corridor design of Enterprise.
One reason I think it's not just an image from the NX-01 is that the corridor, while clearly the same set, isn't identical to the other image.
Look closely at the "structural bulkhead" areas. In the image from ENT, this is a pair of "wall sections" with a small region in between. In the ST-2009 image, it seems to be a single wall with no section in between.
Almost as if the same set components were reassembled slightly differently.
So, my best guess is that it's Rabau's ship (aka "the USS Kelvin")
...are you being serious? Really serious?
Yeah, it's not identical. The image in the OP looks like a photoshop or other CGI image; look at the floor, those structural members and the light beams, for one. It almost looks liek a piece of ENT fanart to me. I'll need to see more than that to be even remotely convinced that they would recycle a corridor from a prior version of Trek for a new ship in this new movie.
Well, I'm SURE that they wouldn't use it for the Enterprise... but for an earlier ship, for corridors seen in a few brief scenes early in the film, and if the set elements still existed and were in storage... why wouldn't they use them? Reuse and modification of sets isn't exactly something new in the Trek world. Granted, this is a new movie and they're largely starting over... the money still isn't infinite and if they can reuse something (in a way that makes sense... as using bits of the old NX-01 sets to represent a ship which was already old 35 years prior to TOS), it only makes sense.

It's also a "tip of the hat" to ENT without having to directly address any STORY or CHARACTER related elements of that show... enough to make the "we love ENTERPRISE" folks happy and still not annoy the "we hate ENTERPRISE" folks.
Seems like a smart decision all around. IF it's the case.
Having the floor look different proves nothing against the claim... since the set components would have been stripped down and stored flat, and rebuilt in another location on top of a different section of the soundstage floor. In this case... it sure looks like grey carpet to my eyes.
Then again, it could be a photoshopping as you say. It just makes sense that it wouldn't be. The world doesn't always make sense, sooooo
Wouldn't the film sets and props be owned by a different studio than the television sets and props? Different studios have different ownership of Trek on the big and small screens.
It's not an issue of the floor "looking different," as you say; it looks synthetic. Hard-edged, ray-traced shadows everywhere; ditto on the structural support members. They don't even look like they have textures.
The more I study the image, the more it looks to me a like a basic mesh of the Enterprise corridor with photos of the wall panels from the actual set projected onto portions of the geometry, then amateurishly lit and post-processed. If we're laying odds on what we think is the most likely source for this image, I'm betting on fan art. There's no way this thing was professionally produced.

It's probably even simpler than that -- one could take the screencap from "Doctor, Doctor" and get the same effect using Photoshop, perhaps with a little help from Illustrator, just by doing some compositing, filtering, etc.

Yes, this could be true, but since Paramount owns anything and everything Trek, it's my understanding that whoever owns the props and sets should yield to their will for such a project.
Even if there was no "forcible yielding" clause involved (and I have no idea if it exists or not), that's no reason that the sets (if they still existed in some form) might not be made available for use.
In fact, the only reason for NOT making them available (if they still exist) would be "out of spite."
Rather, if they still existed (in storage someplace most likely) then the TV division might agree to LEASE them or SELL them to the film division. It would still likely be more cost-effective than building sets from scratch, so it would make sense for the movie folks... and it would allow the TV folks to make a little cash without any money being spent (and perhaps even saving a bit of cash from storage costs.... which as you may recall was the main driving factor behind the huge auctions held recently).
Again, I don't know if this is a real "from the film" thing or not... none of use do. And I won't deny that this COULD be a fake just to fill in some blanks (but then, why rework the shot rather than simply using it as-is???) I'm just explaining why I wouldn't be surprised to see some reworked bits and pieces from the NX-01 sets incorporated into Rabau's ship.
Isn't it completely possible that the site creators simply needed the picture of A corridor from Star Trek, grabbed a shot from Enterprise and doctored it up for the site? Why does the appearance of an obviously Photoshopped picture of a corridor automatically mean that is MUST appear in the movie itself? Its just a graphic element. We're probably just as likely to see the Intel logo stamped onto the Enterprise's computer core as we are to see anything from this half-assed looking website in the movie itself.
Nah. That wouldn't explain the differences that Cary noted, nor the lack of details on the floor and structural bulkheads, and especially not the phony-baloney shadows which do not look like real, honest cast-by-a-physical-light-source shadows. It's a Frankenstein of set photos and cheap CGI, I'm almost positive.
EDIT: Unless you're talking about manipulating the image's details beyond just some color adjustment and filters, in which case, yeah. But having been done on the computer, it's still cheap CGI.
