The New (Old) USS Enterprise

Photos of the new Star Trek movie are slowly making there way out to the public, and Entertainment Weekly gives us our first look at the new USS Enterprise. Well, I guess it would technically be the old Enterprise but with some new twists. I'm still intrigued over this movie, but I'm still keeping my guard up for major suckage that this film truly could be.

Uhura Cast & Plot For Star Trek XI?

The casting for the upcoming 'Star Trek XI' movie is slowly coming along. Rumor has it that JJ Abrams has offered Zoe Saldana (Haven, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) the part of Lt. Uhura of the original series.

Meanwhile, 'AICN' is reporting that they have the plot to the new movie. It could be bogus, but maybe not, so I'll just say that if it's not, spoiler alert. Stop reading if you don't want to know anymore about it. You've been warned.

Here's the plot summary/concept according to them:

A group of Romulans will reportedly go back in time to kill off James T. Kirk, and the elder Spock (to once again be played by Leonard Nimoy) must do what he can to prevent that incident and change the timelines back.

AICN is also saying... "The plan is to use this second timeline as a way of rebooting without erasing or ignoring canon. These new voyages of the Enterprise, they're taking place in whatever timeline starts with this story. ... It's basically the same solution Marvel Comics has in terms of publishing, the way they use their Ultimates line to reboot continuity."

Star Trek XI hits the theaters December 25, 2008.

Yelchin will play a younger Checkov in the new movie, and no word if the original Checkov Walter Koenig will be in the movie as the older version of Checkov. Casting is on-going in New York and London for the remaining spots of Kirk, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, and Scotty.

Sylar To Play Spock?

Rumor mill has started up concerning the upcoming Star Trek XI movie. It appears that Zachary Quinto is in final negotiations to play "Spock" in the movie that is set in the academy days of the original series. If you're a fan of the TV series "Heros" you might recognize Quinto as the evil character "Sylar".

Leonard Nimoy is also rumored to make a cameo in the movie but no word if he will play an old "Spock" or an entirely different character.

J.J. Abrams is directing and should hit theaters Christmas 2008.
