    At Long Last, Meet J.J. Abrams' Klingons

    Feeling cheated that you didn't get to see a Klingon prison break in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie? As we promised, those lost Klingon scenes will be on the new DVD, but a few snippets have already turned up online.

    Spike TV has an official clip from the new trailer (which is available in much higher resolution over at Spike's site):


    But it turns out there's less to the Klingons than meet the eye in some scenes. According to a snippet of making-of footage which turned up online recently, some of the Klingons were actually little kids in Klingon costumes, shot from angles to make them look like grown-ups, so the sets would look huge.

    Star Trek will be out on DVD Nov. 17. [Borders]
