Heroes villain becomes Spock next year
2 Spocks for one movie

"Four Vulcan ears are always better than two.

J.J. Abrams, creator of Lost and Alias and the auteur who will be reviving the Star Trek franchise next year, said Thursday that his take on the sci-fi classic will feature dual Mr. Spocks, the younger of the two to be played by Heroes villain Zachary Quinto, as reported earlier this week by E! Online's TV blog.

And serving as young Spock's older and wiser incarnation will be none other than Leonard Nimoy, who was on hand when the good news was announced during Paramount Pictures' panel at Comic-Con, aka fanboy heaven, in San Diego."

I'm foreseeing a 'flashback' movie, which is a little disappointing. We knew it was going to be about a younger Kirk and Spock, but I always figured it would be entirely set in that time period. Casting Nimoy and looking for a way to get Shatner involved tells me it will transition back and forth between the present and past. I think we'll spend more time in the past than the present but I have a feeling the climax of the movie will happen in the present. Something will have to be happening to make Spock (and Kirk it looks like) talk about their younger days.

While disappointing, it will likely be better than the last six movies, with the exception being First Contact of course...

As much as I love Star Trek, I never cared for the original series, probably since I didnt grow up in that time. I will still watch it as I think anything that JJ Abrams does is awesome, so im sure its going to be good.

Well if Nimoy is actually going to be in it, he must view it as being a good script, thus having potential. He doesn't do stuff for the hell of it. He actually seems to care that the fans are treated right by the stuff he does.

They need to get Matt Damon as James T. Kirk before any non-Trekkies will care.

Incredibly accurate although I have just one correction:

ST2 - BEST STAR TREK MOVIE EVAR!

LOL, I can see the script now. Nimoy and Shatner are sitting around a campfire, then one of them scratches thier chin and says "Hey, remember the time when..." Then those flashback wavey things go across the screen and the opening credits start.

Hm... for me it's:

ST1 - Decent
ST2 - Great
ST3 - Meh
ST4 - Decent
ST5 - Crap
ST6 - Good
ST7 - Crap
ST8 - Crap
ST9 - Double Crap
ST10- Double Crap

My expectations are thus even lower than yours.

I don't even consider nemesis canon, theres no way Data would die in such a crappy way. As far as I'm concerned it was just a bad dream for Picard.
