Another photo has emerged from the Star Trek 2 movie set, this one featuring Zachary Quinto as Spock.

In the photo, Spock, in an environmental suit of some type, is dangling from several wires.

According to the description from On Location News, the photo features, “Zachary Quinto as Spo[c]k filming an action scene for the Untitled Star Trek 2 Sequel. After first rehearsing the scene with a Spo[c]k Stunt Double Actor Zachary Quinto was then rigged to a wire in front of a large green screen and lifted to a height of ten stories high then dropped at a high rate of speed as if he was falling. In the scene Spoc]k 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 Spo[c]k’s ‘Volcano Suit.’”

Recently, Anton Yelchin was asked by Bullett Magazine to submit a photo essay inspired by youth and the results of that essay reveal what interests the actor about people and their growth from youth to adulthood.

There are some self-portraits in the collection, but Yelchin’s photos do not show the glamorous life that an actor might lead in Hollywood.

Apparently annoyed with all of the recent set photos that have been released, Star Trek 2‘s J.J. Abrams has taken steps to stop future attempts to photograph Star Trek 2 production.

Abrams ordered the installation of thirty large shipping containers outside of his primary shooting location, according to Egotastic!. The thirty shipping containers have been strung together, blocking, for now, eager photographers.

Safe from prying eyes on the ground, perhaps the next photos will be taken from a rented helicopter.

In a short interview at WonderCon, Star Trek 2‘s Damon Lindelof spoke about his recent projects, including Star Trek 2.
