They finished principal photography months ago (ahead of schedule, in fact). The Genesis planet appears to have been built as an outside set on Paramount's studios, but I'm not absolutely certain of that. That's what the production stills look like to me. This looks like it's going to be a good movie. There are a lot of sets not part of the Enterprise which we'll be seeing. They also reconstructed sets for a Klingon cruiser (a bit of which was seen in ST:TMP). I've been hearing that post-production work has been going very smoothly, too, so it should come off on schedule June 1. I'm also very optimistic about Nimoy's direction. Someone with his familiarity of the subject and the characters which are so important can only make a better movie. I can't wait to see Spock's funeral (or whatever) on Vulcan with his father and mother (and ...). We're going to have a better Saavik, too. She LOOKS the part more, and I've been told she's more of an actress. Naturally David Marcus will be back, but not his mother. There are also some surprise characters. Only 16 more weeks to go!!
