[Morningkill]

Winona Ryder is set to play Amanda Grayson, the human mother of a young Spock (Zachary Quinto) in Paramount Pictures re-imagination of "Star Trek", reports StarTrek.com (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/071109d.php).

Ryder joins a cast that includes Leonard Nimoy, Eric Bana, Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood and Rachel Nichols.

The film, which began shooting this past Wednesday on the Paramount Pictures lot, is scheduled for a Christmas Day 2008 release date. Jane Wyatt previously played the role in both the original series and "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home."

So Zachary Quinto is playing Spock, but what the fuck is Leonard Nimoy playing?

UGK....another remake!

[Mick32]

I think it's a prequel, actually, not a remake. They're telling stories that haven't been seen yet.

[Morningkill]

Yep, it's before Kirk was Captain of the Enterprise. Someone else has that title in this film.

[Fancy Man Frrrunkus]

Clifton Collins Jr. has joined the cast of Paramount Pictures and J.J. Abrams' reinvention of the "Star Trek" film franchise, reports Variety. Collins will play Ayel, the cohort and general to Nero, played by Eric Bana.

Harlan Ellison, the writer of classic "Star Trek" episode "The City on the Edge of Forever," is not happy that story elements of his are being used for the upcoming film and tells SyFy Portal (http://www.syfyportal.com/news424424.html)that a lawsuit may soon happen.

Finally, "Star Trek New Voyages" producer James Cawley claims to have seen the newly redesigned Starship Enterprise being used for the film and isn't happy with it, his comments can be found at Trekweb.
