It's only Kirk and Spock with Shatner and Nimoy. Period. I will never accept Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader and I will never accept anybody else as Kirk and Spock.
Shatner, Nimoy and Deforrest Kelley had CHEMISTRY man and it wasn't just buddy-buddy. There was enough heat generated between the three that even their conflicts were awesome. Catching that kind of lightning in a bottle is hard enough with a male/female romance. With a trio of men? Impossible.
I have a feeling they will try to make the relationship like the one between Archer and T'pol (and Trip) which thought it was going back to Trek's roots but had absolutely no chemistry. It didn't work before. Prequels with few exceptions usually suck (exceptions like The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles). Even if they actually start getting decent at the end of their run (Enterprise, Episode III, or X-Men Evolution) they can never wash of the taint of how much they sucked getting there.
And people only say Smallville and The Batman suck only they often do. There is SOME unwillingness to transition but I have never heard that sort of complaint leveled against the Spider-Man movies or Batman Begins.
