I believe it's a "prequel" to the original Star Trek series. *Fellow "loser" excitement here too!*
Can't wait!!!


Here it is (youtube of course
):


Isn't that Sylar from Heroes as Spock?

very cool!
found some more info here: rotten tomatoes
LOST's J.J. Abrams directs this reboot of the beloved sci-fi franchise. Zachary Quinto (HEROES) stars as the young Spock, while Leonard Nimoy returns to the iconic role to play the half-Vulcan, half-human in his advancing age. Chris Pine, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, and John Cho star as the rest of the original series' characters, while Eric Bana plays the Enterprise crew's nemesis.
we got a while to wait - trailer said 5/09...

I liked all the series and concepts can't wait to see this one. (Darn where are my pics from those cons I attended in thre 80s.
)

I had only seen a couple of the Scott Bakula series as it was on a station we can't get clearly.

Yes I seen the previews for it and it looks like it will be good.


I am generally not a big fan of Prequels but we will have to wait and see. I find once I identify a character with an actor I can't relate to anyone else playing them...


But I am a huge trekkie so this may be the exception to the rule.

I am a fan as well. I wasn't into DS9 very much but certainly the other two. Something to look forward to besides an end to winter.

Zachary, who plays as Sylar in Heroes, plays Spock! Good choice of actors on their part, he's perfect for the role!

Oooooh yes! It'll be impossible to please us old-time Trekkers with the casting -- who could ever match Shatner and Nimoy? -- but I'm sure it'll be great fun anyway! Can't wait!

The trailer looks good - very exciting!

I think they've cast it well too.

I'll be honest, I'm not much of a Trekkie, but I do greatly enjoy these epic action/adventure type films so there's a good chance I will see this one. I've been seeing the previews and I have to such it is really freaky how much Zachary Quinto looks like Spock!
