Thank you.
By now, is there anyone who doesn't know J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek franchise is opening in a good part of the world this weekend? (fufL even told you about it as far back as November 2007).
Among the cast, and perhaps of most interest to this blog, of course, is Zoe Saldana starring as Nyota Uhura, who may not be a lieutenant in the new movie's time frame, but she'll certainly have a bit more to do than open hailing frequencies. Not that Nichelle Nichols didn't do that quite well in the original TV series, but I always liked the fact she got to kick a little Mr. Adventure ass in the movies. Speaking of Ms. Nichols, we pause this post, with no disrespect meant for Ms. Saldana for this photo:
Damn.
Onward, and back to Ms. Saldana:
True, these images from an Esquire shot she did awhile back aren't lingerie-only, but we'll enjoy them just the same..
The new cast are signed for two sequels, so Ms. Saldana can be prepared to put on - and, perhaps, take off her Starfleet uniform for awhile longer. Not that she's a stranger to uniforms, or all things Trek; witness a moment of her performance in the Tom Hanks movie The Terminal..
