The new trailers for Star Trek look wicked! Yes, I’ll have to admit, I was a bit of a ‘trekker’ back in the day, and am definitely welcoming the new vision of this franchise to make it much cooler and modern. A bit funny seeing ‘Sylar’ from Heroes as Spock, but he does indeed have the look. If you haven’t already, check out the new website – it is one of the slickest movie sites I have seen in a while: http://www.startrekmovie.com/

I really love how so many franchises are ‘restarting’ it from the beginning, with a much darker/realistic perspective and lots of character development in the ‘badass’ protagonist and how the ‘evil’ antagonists came to be. To name a few, Batman did a great job with Batman Begins…Ironman, actually…all of the Marvel movies have been doing this, 007, etc.

The trailers are best viewed from the site, but here is the youtube one:
