For all of you Trekkies out there, I hope you’re prepared. Whether that preparation is for one of the best movies of 2009 or a total failure we have yet to learn.  But my hopes are high. J.J. Abrams, the director, is not to be taken lightly he is known for producing Lost, Cloverfield and number of other T.V shows and films. Although, I’m sure there is a lot of speculation as to whether he can really pull this off. But with actors like Zachery Quinto playing Spock (Sylar in Heroes) and Eric Bana playing Scotty (The Hulk) where can you go wrong?

There is, however, a bit of drama surrounding this film. William Shatner, the original Kirk, is rumored to have said that he hopes the movie will bomb. I believe this is due to the fact that he desperately wants a role in it, along with old time co star Leonard Nimoy (original Spock). There is much talk about the two of them making an appearance in the film but have made it very clear that it better be more than just a cameo. Personally, I would love to see them both in the movie as long as they leave their “has been” attitudes behind.

The movie is said to release May 8, 2009 a day you should all mark on your calenders!
