Heroes villain Zachary Quinto to play Spock

[Syf]

I have some news for everyone about the next Star Trek film.


Four Vulcan ears are always better than two.

J.J. Abrams, creator of Lost and Alias and the auteur who will be reviving the Star Trek franchise next year, said Thursday that his take on the sci-fi classic will feature dual Mr. Spocks, the younger of the two to be played by Heroes villain Zachary Quinto, as reported earlier this week by E! Online's TV blog.

And serving as young Spock's older and wiser incarnation will be none other than Leonard Nimoy, who was on hand when the good news was announced during Paramount Pictures' panel at Comic-Con, aka fanboy heaven, in San Diego.



Here's the link to Yahoo news for the article.

Yeah Jess told me about this this morning. Might not be too bad after all, though I still think it is a bad move going back and doing characters when they were young.

I agree. I'm not pleased with the idea 100% (about 45% happy because it's another trewk movie). But I will go and watch it.

Now, as a bad guy, Zachary Quinto is pretty good. I can't wait to see him as a Vulcan...:)

Im keeping my opinion til i see it :) . The original series was before my time , all ive seen of Kirk is the movies and that DS9 ep with the tribbles :lol:

But i would have liked it if they went for something mre unique ;) , say a temporal battle or about the Dominion war's battle for cardassia :D

im not sure he looks quite right, he cant be much younger than lenoid nemoy was when he was spock
I know vulcans age slowly but you would expect him to look a bit younger
