I Thought That New Star Trek Poster Looked Familiar
Leave it to slashfilm to quickly pull together all the examples of why that new Star Trek poster looks so very familiar. I guess dudes standing in front of stuff and broken-as-hell buildings are the hot new reused movie poster design trend.

This is the official cover for the Doctor Who/Star Trek: TNG crossover: Assimilation2

I went to a few Star Trek conventions back in the old days, before I did Star Wars. was allowed to do things like that.

I started writing Star Wars sort of in the heyday of the syndication part of Star Trek. I think the thing that I was attracted to most about Star Trek is that it completely got rid of all the mundane, boring angle of real space and just said ‘Well, let’s just go out and go where no one else dared to go.’

…The story is really the thing that makes it work. And in the beginning with Star Trek, that’s all there was, was story — and that’s what made it compelling. Gene Roddenberry took the ideas and made them — he put them on television, which really has no resources at all!

Star Wars creator GEORGE LUCAS, remarking on… the better sci-fi franchise, from the documentary film Trek Nation.
