The word on the new "Star Trek" story is here at Rotten Tomatoes and in even greater detail over at Chud.com. I was not waiting with great anticipation for yet ANOTHER remake of anything. Not that I am against the remakes, just a little tired of hearing about yet another one being announced.
And then this bit of information. Could it be that J.J. Abrams will deliver a Star Trek that is not a remake even though the new cast has been announced to be playing familiar characters in the same old starship?
I guess the answer is "yes" and "no."
The Abrams plot for this new 'Trek' is said to follow Leonard Nimoy as Spock to the past where he encounters the original crew and must help to stop a Romulan plot to kill a young Captain Kirk before he breaks a foot off in their... plans in the years to come.
A future Spock from the current continuity meeting with this young version of himself and the old crew? It is suggested at Chud that this could branch into numerous possibilities for new stories with old staff. If it's played right this may be cool and if not then at least interesting to see.
