All the best news at the moment seems to centre around the back to the beginning Star Trek film being made by JJ Abrams. A couple of days ago some lucky journalists were invited to a screening of some major scenes of the new film, and now a leaked image of the ship has appeared.

To be honest there isn't that many directions that can be taken with the look and feel of the ship, the history (is that right?) of the Enterprises NCC 1701 (no letter though to E) is pretty much set in stone and it would take a brave designer to change that.

The new look is a little retro but you can certainly see how this would evolve into the ship we came to love from the series.
