Publications like the Los Angeles Times have been quick to assess what the uniform says about the ambiance of the film. According to the LA Times, judging by Saldana's uniform, the movie is inspired by the '60s Star Trek series.
Saldana plays an Enterprise communications officer and from what we had seen from previous uniforms, they had short sleeves and were revamped some. But Saldana's latest reveal shows her in the classic uniform, which is a nod to the '60s series.
In other news about the reshoots, it was recently revealed that a new actress was being brought on board for the filming. A Deadline report revealed that the parts being reshot were with actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, and she will be playing the part of High Command of the Federation. Aghdashloo is known for her work in House Of Sand And Fog and House Of Saddam, and she is also the first Iranian actress to win an Emmy (2009).
Star Trek Beyond is the third entry in the rebooted sci-fi franchise, which already includes Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek: Into the Darkness (2013). The first two were helmed by J.J. Abrams, who's now busy heading up the Star Wars sequels, so this one is directed by Fast & Furious reviver Justin Lin with the familiar crew of Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Sulu (John Cho) and Chekov (Anton Yelchin) all set to return.
One new face to look forward to will be Idris Elba, although nothing is known about his character right now. He's being played as the surprise card, much like Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into the Darkness.
In other latest casting news, it was revealed that Lydia Wilson will also be joining the crew, but little is known about her character so far.
