Concept Mistaken For Leaked Enterprise Image
Written by andy on May 8th, 2008 in Movies.
AICN got the net buzzing today by linking to this image with the suggestion that it may be a leaked design for the Enterprise in the new Star Trek.
….but CGI artist Gabriel Koerner has confirmed this is actually one of his designs. Gabriel Koerner is well known to Star Trek fans as both a beloved fan featured in the documentaries Trekkies and Trekkies 2 as well as an accomplished CGI artist.
Koerner is living the dream working at Digital Domain and has done work for Star Trek Enterprise, Battlestar Galactica and many feature films. He is currently at work on the new Speed Racer film from the Wachowski brothers.
Like any CGI artist who is also a Trek fan, Koerner loves to make Star Trek models and many of his concepts for a ‘new’ Enterprise have shown up online, often mistaken for the real thing (by no fault of Gabe’s). The supposed leaked Enterprise is actually available on Gabriel’s website.

from someone “in the know” at Paramount, I have been told that the story line (take it or leave it as fact or rumour) is that Capt Pike and the Enterprise NEVER really left Talos IV. The entire series as we know it has actually been nothing more than the Talosians creating these stories within Pike’s and his crews’ minds. That’s about pretty much all I have been told. The other tidbit is that somehow Kirk is Kirk and is the one who finally breaks Pike and the original crew free.
Take it for what it’s worth.
