First Trek Film Footage Unveiled
Ostracus writes "Lost creator JJ Abrams has unveiled footage from his Star Trek prequel at a press event in London.
The clips featured US actor Chris Pine as the young Captain Kirk, Heroes star Zachary Quinto as Mr Spock and Simon Pegg as Enterprise engineer Scotty.
The audience also saw Leonard Nimoy reprise his role as the older Mr Spock in one of four excerpts from the film.
In his introduction, Abrams said he wanted the film to be released in May 2009, to feel 'legitimate and real.'
Speaking at London's Vue West End cinema on Tuesday morning, the film-maker admitted he had 'never really been a huge Star Trek fan.'" Note that the article doesn't actually contain the footage, just brief descriptions of it. The video clip included is just the old trailer that we saw many moons ago. But that won't stop me from lusting.
the most perfect? are you more surer or is he maybe even more perfectererer?
The original Enterprise was so un-aerodynamic that you could even hear it whooshing by in space. So let's withhold judgment until we know whether or not the new ship whooshes.

> And why have a Korean play a Japanese character (Sulu)? WTF?
I know! And I heard that the guy who's playing Spock isn't even a real alien!
