Photo of Zachary Quinto as Spock in uniform?

[Dukhat]

I'm not one to randomly post goofy rumors or alleged photos about the new Star Trek movie (especially since that damned Gabriel Koerner starship keeps popping up from some dork who thinks he's found the new movie Enterprise), but I think I've actually found a legitimate still of Quinto as the new Spock, in uniform. Here's the site where I found it (and no, I don't know where the webmaster got the pic from):

Scroll down to the entry for the new Star Trek movie.

Honestly, I'd understand if someone told me it was fake, but I looked at that pic good and hard, and I for one think it's legit. The thing that got me is that Zachary Quinto's earlobes are attached instead of "dangling," and so is the person's in this photo. The nose looks the same too.

Basically, although this is only a "bust shot," you can plainly see that he's indeed wearing a TOS Starfleet uniform. And the background, blurred as it is, does seem to resemble the TOS Enterprise wall colors.

So, what does everyone think?

*EDIT* I didn't mean to imply that I didn't like Gabriel Koerner or his ship...I just get annoyed whenever somebody posts saying "I've found the new Enterprise!!!"

Oddly enough, the attached earlobes are one thing that mark this as a Photoshop job - there've been some spy photos of Quinto out there that show they've given him unattached earlobes as part of the ear prosthesis, in order to match Nimoy.

This particular "artist's conception" has been out there for a while and I think it originated at Trekmovie.com - at any rate, you can see a fuller version of it there, from October of 2007:

Here's the pic if you don't feel like scrolling down that site:

While you may be a member in good standing over at the Flare Forums, that apparently does not allow you to link directly to images uploaded there, because this one returns a very clear "go away" message.

Everyone can still see the picture by clicking on the first link and scrolling down approximately half-way to Number 11 on the list.


Having looked at it myself, I suspect it may be a doctored image, but I'm in no way any kind of expert in that area.

Edit:

Dennis has beaten me to it.

I've edited my post. And you're right, Polaris. After looking at the full picture at Trekmovie, that image is clearly doctored IMHO. To bad, huh. Oh, well, I guess you can lock this thread.

All righty. Closing.
