Common, give us your thoughts. Is it the idea of Abrams behind the film? Afraid he'll make it into a "Mission: Impossible 3" style actioner? Not happy about the theme of "Kirk and Spock: The Early Years"? Not feeling Silar as Spock? What's the skinny?
I will say, Quinto does such a phenomenonl job of playing the creepy. murderous-but-kinda-geeky Silar, that one almost wonders if he can look or act any other way. You almost think that the guy can only look deranged. -------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For me, an old adage applies.

The 76-year-old actor will don his famous pointy ears again to play the role in an upcoming "Star Trek" film due out Christmas 2008. "This is really going to be a great movie. And I don't say things like that lightly," Nimoy told a gathering of 6,500 fans Thursday at Comic-Con, the nation's largest pop-culture convention. He greeted the crowd with a Vulcan salute. Nimoy was joined by the newly named young Spock, "Heroes" star Zachary Quinto [who plays the villainous Silar], who bears an uncanny resemblance to Nimoy. Both Spocks were introduced by the film's director and co-producer, J.J. Abrams. "This is a series I loved as a kid," Abrams said, acknowledging that he was "more of a 'Star Wars' kid than a 'Star Trek' kid." "This matters so much to so many people," he said. "I'm honored to be here and do this." While the character of Captain Kirk has yet to be cast, Abrams said that William Shatner, who played the role in the original TV series, would likely also have a part in the film. "It has to be worthy, of him and of you," Abrams told fans, adding that production is slated to begin in November. One fan asked Nimoy what he thought of his "replacement." "It was logical," the actor said dryly. He then closed with Spock's classic line: "Live long and prosper."
