Ok, keep in mind this was aired on Conan. Be very aware of that.
However it is true that the first clip from JJ Abrams' STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS was shown.
There's a fairly good reason why we are seeing this particular scene from the movie as opposed to others. Back in April we were privy to some spy shots,
one of which was of Zachary Quinto (Spock) hanging in front of a green screen wearing a suit to protect him from a volcano.
This clip is from that scene.
Here's the description of the scene:
"Zachary Quinto as Spock filming an action scene for the Untitled Star Trek 2 Sequel. After first rehearsing the scene with a Spock Stunt Double Actor Zachary Quinto was then rigged to a wire in front of a large green screen and lifted to a height of 10 stories high then dropped at a high rate of speed as if he was falling. In the scene Spock is wearing a "Volcano Suit" and carrying an unknown piece of equipment with the Starfleet Emblem. A Volcano is somehow involved in this scene. The crew had a real fire burning off camera to catch the fire reflections on Spock's 'Volcano Suit'."
There are comedic caveats involved of course. But I'll let you watch it and decide what you make of it:
Hahaa! Ok, so it's only 3 frames long, but the screen cap shown above does show you Spock's profile wearing a helmet and suit in front of raging flames. Can there be any doubt he is great peril? Give us more JJ!

**SAME DAY UPDATE: High resolution images are here! Thanks Phil.
Jim here. Thanks Jacob for bring these to my attention. Got some new shots from within AVATAR THE GAME and they look awesome.
They were posted to the Comic-Con site today. Check out the human vs. winged creature and land creatures on Pandora!
Lets see who can name these creatures first...
:-)
**ANOTHER SAME DAY UPDATE: Jim here - Yet another trusted source says the smaller aircraft is a Scorpion and the chopper landing in the rainforest is a Samson - which are featured heavily in the final cut!
**SAME DAY UPDATE: Jim here again with confirmed names for these beasts and more info from a trusted AVATAR source.
Here is what he/she said:
"The 'panther' is a Thanator, which was called a 'manticore' in the scriptment. The tan/orange animals being shot from the air are 'Sturmbeasts', which the Na'vi hunt like buffalo. The scriptment's 'titanothere' is in the movie too, but with a new name. Since I haven't seen an image of it online yet, I can't talk about it. The comment about everything being brightly lit is only partially correct. While there are some scenes in the movie like this, much of the action take place in dimly-lit rainforests, and at night."
Be sure to keep clicking to MarketSaw no matter what AVATAR related material emerges on the Interwebs - 'cause we have the sources to explain what is going on in them. Again, no real spoilers here - just damn interesting info! :-) Some more surprises in store for us I am sure...
Jim here. Wow - some great new shots from the Ubisoft authored AVATAR game that everyone is buzzing over. These photos come from news.com.au and reveal quite a bit about the creature design on Pandora. Have a look!
Click to enlarge.
I have a good idea what we are seeing - but perhaps someone else would like to chime in on what you think we are seeing here? You guys wanted more photos on the flora - here they are! How true they are to the movie is anyone's guess, but I see no reason to deviate much when it comes to these designs. The only real differences between the movie and the game is that they take place at different points in time (no movie spoilers as far as plot - but introduces everyone to the alien ecosystem) and of course the graphics will be FAR superior in the movie.
Looks like stunning gameplay! Can't wait to see this in action. Thoughts?
