'Star Trek' beams back to the future
JJ Abrams' forthcoming prequel is set to hit screens December 2008.
Feb 28 2007
Trekkies, Trekkers and geeks of every size, shape and form should prepare themselves for Christmas 2008, as that's when JJ Abrams plans to resurrect the 'Star Trek' franchise.
The 'Mission: Impossible III' helmer will write and direct a prequel to the original series that concentrates on the early relationship between Captain Kirk and Mr Spock.
Production is set to start this autumn, and although there's been no official word on casting yet, IMDB claims that Matt Damon and Adrien Brody are the early favourites for Kirk and Spock, with Gary Sinise and James McAvoy vying for the role of Scottie. Which is all good and well, but The TOMB thinks that Abrams rules out a return for William 'the shat' Shatner at his peril.
