The reporter for L.A. Times' Hero Complex was on hand for yesterday's first day of principal photography. His report on what he saw and the vibe on the set is now published and online.

"Throughout the morning, the crew members of the Starship Enterprise were scheduled for fittings with the wardrobe department and the atmosphere was a bit like the first day of school with big grins, backslaps, hugs and handshakes," writes Hero Complex's Geoff Boucher. "There was Simon Pegg (Scotty) and John Cho (Mr. Sulu) ducking into the coffee shop just before lunchtime and, on the patio out front, Bruce Greenwood (Capt. Christopher Pike) and cast newcomer Peter Weller discussing their golf swings and the enduring allure of John Le Carre novels. Pegg, with a toothy grin, stopped by Greenwood’s table to pay his respects: 'Nice to see you!' Greenwood responded with a 'My man!'"

A little deeper into the article, Bruce Greenwood talks about the level of security that everyone is maintaining to keep the storyline for the Star Trek sequel under wraps. "Everybody’s got their script – all printed on red paper with every actor’s name stamped across every page — and their brown bag and we’ve all signed these releases that are as long as your leg. The script is good, as you would expect.  You won’t be given anything by anybody when it comes to the movie. It’s easier to push the building than get anything out of anyone."
