@Krong: Se ti riferisci ad Arex della TAS, ne avevamo parlato un po' di tempo fa, pensando che l'alieno Alnschloss sulla Kelvin fosse prorpio Arex. Purtroppo mi sembra che gli stessi autori e Make-up artist abbiano in seguito precisato che non si tratta di Arex; Infatti prima ad Orci hanno chiesto:
TrekMovie: Regarding the alien security officer on the Kelvin, Alnschloss K’Bentayr, is that character in any way related to Arex from The Animated Series?
Roberto Orci:
Not in our minds, but possibly in the designer’s. You would have to ask the designer.
Poi è stata la volta di Barney Burman (professionista in Make-up effects) che Alnschloss K’Bentayr lo ha realizzato:
TM: Can you tell us whether or not you based the Kelvin security officer on Arex from the animated Star Trek series? What else can you tell us about Alnschloss K’Bentayr?
BB: The character of Alnschloss was
not inspired nor based on Arex. I hope no one is too disappointed. It was based on an original design by the film’s amazing creature designer and a brilliant artist, Neville Page. JJ liked the design Neville had and asked if I could realize it as a character. It was the first alien to work on first day of shooting and it wowed everybody. It was further brought to life by Kasia Kowalczyk, a terrific actress and director out of New York.
p.s: L'unico che potrebbe riportare Arex in plancia è James Cawley, che di recente ha annunciato che "presto" potremmo rivederlo in una puntata di P2
@Darmok47: Anch'io avevo pensato ad un velato richiamo a STII e alla creatura di Ceti usata da Khan.
