Google Earth has teamed up with the University of Virginia to produce a 3D rendition of Rome in the year 320AD featuring 250 “highly detailed” and 6000+ other buildings.

The modelling is based on a physical model of the city called the “Plastico di Roma Antica” created between 1933 and 1974. As well as exteriors, the virtual city displays 11 buildings with viewable interiors, including the Colosseum and the temple of Vesta.

Chris Pine (second from left) plays James Kirk in the new Star Trek film

BBC News Entertainment Reporter Neil Smith reports on a presentation of 4 clips from the new theatrical STAR TREK movie.

Director J.J. Abrams was there to introduce the footage.

“‘It was always someone else’s show,’ he [Abrams] continued, citing the original TV series’ limited resources and ‘cardboard planets.’On reading the script, however, he said he would have been ‘jealous’ had another director taken on the project.

Attending reporters were offered cupcakes with the STAR TREK uniform insignia on top.

TrekMovie.com has more. There are spoilers there.

There will be a new STAR TREK movie trailer playing in theaters showing the new James Bond movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
