J.J. Abrams’ exceptionally-awesome Star Trek hits DVD and Blu-Ray today (go buy that now!) so in honor of that, we’re giving away three copies of Star Trek: The Art of the Film!

“What is this book?” you ask:

292px-Star_Trek_The_Art_of_the_Film_coverDirector J.J. Abrams’ new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, Star Trek features a young, new crew venturing boldly where no man has gone before, as it tells the story of how the brash Starfleet cadet James T. Kirk first meets a Vulcan named Spock, and earns the Captain’s chair of the Starship Enterprise. The film quickly became a critical and commercial smash hit worldwide, as audiences — confirmed Trekkers and newcomers alike — thrilled to a state-of-the-art action epic which both respected the legacy of Gene Roddenberry’s archetypal modern myth and forged ahead into an exciting future of its own.

Star Trek: The Art of the Film is a lavishly illustrated celebration of that new vision, tracing the evolution of the movie’s look through a stunning array of previously unseen pre-production paintings, concept sketches, costume and set designs, unit photography and final frames.

Written by New York Times-bestselling author Mark Cotta Vaz in close co-operation with the film’s production team, and including a Foreword by J.J. Abrams, this is the essential companion to the film.

This 160 page book is pretty gorgeous and is the perfect companion to a near-perfect flick. There’s a ton of insight into what went into designing the film, and there’s even some stuff that wasn’t shown in the final cut.
