Star Trek News of Note

Star Trek enters its final marketing push with cast appearing on the airwaves for both TV and radio, along with new videos and other attempts to get those seats filled this weekend as Wolverine, suffering from lackluster word of mouth, is not going to be the competition everyone thought it might be but it did set the high mark that Trek wants to vaunt over with a $87 million opening weekend.

JJ Abrams wants you to watch Star Trek on the IMAX. Personally, since no special footage I just don't want to cough up to 2x ticket price. Course after watching the movie, may change my mind on that (and therefore buying a ticket twice which I doubt Paramount will mind).
