So what they're telling me here is that this new Star Trek film will involve space battles, starships, a ship's bridge, gun fights, hand to hand fighting, and people running through corridors?
MY GOD, it's like nothing we've ever seen before.

It really does need sombreros.
My contact described Enterprise as looking very similar to the original design on the outside, with the front of the nacelles being the biggest difference to him/her (YMMV). The bridge is similar to the original, but "white", I didn't get clarification on what this meant exactly. The Captain's chair is still square-shaped(!), but it looks like it's made from more modern materials, I think.
November may also bring more news about the film than just the trailer...
Feel free to disbelieve everything I just said

If you look near the bottom of this article (page up about three times from where the comments begin) the photo of Abrams sitting at his laptop with his back to the camera may provide a hint.
Then again, it may not.

Feel free. Doesn't change anything

I remember this picture well, and it doesn't remotely help me picture that set! I wonder if there's a red railing right behind the photographer, the presence of that railing could be what sells this as the Enterprise bridge.
I'm guessing that the "white" comment means that the black desktops and console back panels of the TOS bridge have been replaced by ones of a lighter color, and the brighter colors (though perhaps not the bridge rail) are generally more subdued. This would sort of fit with the impression reported by a set visitor (was it Harry Knowles, again? Don't remember) of a bridge designed by the folks at Apple.If you look near the bottom of this article (page up about three times from where the comments begin) the photo of Abrams sitting at his laptop with his back to the camera may provide a hint.

Excellent. Then consider yourself disagreed with!
This remains the best news I have heard about this film ever.
Found it. From here:
I may be reading more into it than is actually there, but that's what the "white" comment make me think of.
It is kind of an odd choice, though, if that's really what's going on, isn't it?I'm guessing that the "white" comment means that the black desktops and console back panels of the TOS bridge have been replaced by ones of a lighter color, and the brighter colors (though perhaps not the bridge rail) are generally more subdued.

I mean, look at the current trends in computer designs. You see very little stuff that's "white and beige" because that looks "old" to people today. Instead, everything is black and silver,with brightly lit highlights.
Sort of like the TOS bridge, in fact...
There are similarities to the original bridge just as there are similarities of every Trek bridge to the original bridge. The differences are substantial. Note that Harry (granted, never the most precise of writers) uses the term echoes to describe the resemblance of the new bridge to the TOS one. He doesn't say anything like "it's very close to the original bridge, but as if designed by Apple."
Fans who are too anxious about specifics - scale, shapes, colors, etc - will be quite shocked.

My uncle's cousin's landlord's dog groomer's dentist knows a sound mixer, and I can tell you that this is absolutely false.
Well, I can live with a bridge which is significantly different, provided that it's not being sold as "the same bridge." After all, its' semi-canonically established that they can swap out bridge modules... they basically plug in (the only rational reason to have them sitting on top like that!)
And even "swapping out nacelles" can be justified without saying that it's not the same ship.
But major structural/frame changes... or setting a scene in the exact same setting and timeframe but having it look dramatically different... that sort of stuff will definitely "rub wrong."

Well then, there's the rub.
I'm going to need STARTREK11 or Team Trek to verify these claims before I can believe anything.
You're showing by those references that you've been around here way, way too long Sam.
As have I. As have I.
My plan is to squat here long enough that I can adversely possess this website and ultimately claim total ownership of it.
Well, Chris Pine is being sold as "the same Kirk", just as Pegg, Urban, et al. are being sold as "the same character from TOS".
If we are to believe that Pegg is Scotty (and the way he "looks" won't prevent me from doing that), then why not believe Abrams' bridge is the the same bridge from TOS?
