Kurtzman & Orci Reveal 'Star Trek' Easter Eggs & Secrets

eal 'Star Trek' Easter Eggs & Secrets

In a continuation of an interview covered early this week with MTV, 'Star Trek' writers Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci talk about hidden secrets and easter eggs in the new film.

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure - Writer/producer Alex Kurtzman revealed that his favorite "Trek" secret is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment from the scene where the Enterprise comes out of warp speed and into a battle above Vulcan. "When they arrive and all the debris is flying at the Enterprise, take a very close look at the debris," he explained, saying a cool Easter egg is in there. "You'll have to watch it on DVD, because it goes by very fast. But take a close look at what's floating in the debris."

It Ain't Easy Being Green - In the flick, "Alias" actress Rachel Nichols is one of several green girls — beautiful, mysterious aliens from the planet Orion who've populated "Trek" story lines from the very beginning. While filming, Nichols' participation was just as secretive as her character. "They were trying to keep my role really, really secret and undercover — they didn't want anyone to know," she told us. "When [the green girls] traveled around [the Paramount lot], we had to wear full, top-to-bottom ski jackets — and it was summer, mind you — with hoods, umbrellas and boots. Then we'd have to get into a golf cart covered with a big black tent — we called it the Popemobile."  (source MTV.com)
