IDW Launches Star Trek Movie Adaptation Comic

The six-issue series based on the hit movie will offer exclusive scenes not in the film.

San Diego, CA  (February 25,
2010) – With a record-breaking run at the box office and huge sales of
the tie-in comic books, fans proved they can’t get enough of the blockbuster film Star Trek.  Now, director J.J. Abrams and screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have teamed up with IDW Publishing to present Star Trek: The Official Movie Adaptation.
This six-issue miniseries details every pivotal moment from the film,
including scenes from the original screenplay that were not in the
final movie. The same creative team that brought fans the New York Times bestselling Star Trek: Countdown will again make Trek magic.

With issue #1 available in stores this week, the Star Trek: The Official Movie Adaptation
offers yet another layer to this already complex and engaging new
reality. “Everything about this movie was great, and when you have so
much amazing material, not all of it can make the final cut,” said IDW
Star Trek Editor Scott Dunbier.

Working closely with screenwriters Orci and Kurtzman, and with the consultation of Abrams, Countdown writers Mike Johnson and Tim Jones again join forces with renowned artist David Messina on the movie adaptation.

"We are excited to bring fans a unique way to experience the movie again," said Johnson and Jones, "especially with the amazing David Messina on board. The band is back together."
