I recently saw the trailer for the new Star Trek movie due to come out in May, 2009, and wrote a little peice about it. Here it be at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
Isn't it fantastic? I haven't been this buzzed over a trailer for years. Not since I saw the first LotR trailer after months of nail-chewing trepidation that they'd make a complete pig's ear of the book that's been my favorite since I was 12.
I, too, have been a Star Trek fan since its first airing in the UK. Ground-breaking in its day, and surely it is immortal now. Nothing can kill it(not even Scott Bakula in ST Voyager).
Spock, just ahead of the rest of the team. And the K/S pairing was my first fandom slash sin, way back in the days of paper zines Zeroxed off hand-cracked machines...
There's something so intense about him, so deep and convoluted, all that strength and skill contained by willpower - my favorite kind of man. I'm sure that Zach can produce his own version of that effect.
A Spockgirl, eh? Well, I can't say as I blame you, you've got good taste there. I adore him as well, but there was something about the brash Kirk that sucked me right in.
I remember those early days, those heady early days when we were all so well hidden..... : D
I am *so* looking forward to this movie. I have been jumping on every scrap of rumor for months now, and have been inhaling - mainlining - all the spoilers available now. It looks like it could be really really good! (I sure hope it doesn't suck!)
It was awesome seeing Nimoy and Quinto at a Creation Con in August - they are so comfortable with each other, and in profile the resemblance is uncanny.
Six more months! Argh!
Ahem. If you want spoilers, I can direct you to various places.
You know, I'm kind of getting the picture that the whole Star Trek thing has been going on for *ages* now and I'm way behind the times. No matter, looks like the party is in full swing!
I think it's wrong, very wrong of them to make us wait like that. Why not have a Christmas release, for crying out loud. Looks like they filmed all the important bits with my boy Kirk. *sigh*
Oh! They've met, that's excellent! I always wonder how actors take to being replaced like that - Nimoy's being there is the right attitude. : D
Spoilers? Um. Yeah...*grabby hands*
I'm so spoiler free with SPN, it'll be nice to roll in the juicy stuff before the main event for a change.

They originally planned a Christmas release, but the movie had just started filming when the writer's strike hit. Also, Paramount said that they prefer a May release for what they consider a "summer" movie (i.e., SF/action/comic book hero/whatever movies.)

Thank you for all of this, the info about the releas timing and the strike, as well as the spoiler!!! I'll be going to check out your post about Creation Con, too. : D
A Time Travel story? How could they possibly improve on what fandom has already done? But if Nimoy says it's okay, then it must be. I'm looking forward to this even MORE now.
It's a bit more complicated than that. From what I understand "their people spoke to his people", but they couldn't work out a deal. The one major MAJOR obstacle is that Kirk died in Generations, and finding some way to resurrect him without throwing off the balance of the new story they wanted to tell with the younger characters proved insurmountable
