I was just watching the news about Comic Con today, and I witnessed it, the announcement from the man himself, in PERSON!

Zachary Quinto has signed on with J.J. Abrams to play YOUNG Spock in the NEW Star Trek Movie!

There are no links yet, but I assure you that this is TRUE! HE SAID IT LOUD AND CLEAR!

Yeah there have been rumors for a while on this and then the confirmation today, seems like a good chance for him

Well we already were discussing it in the normal Zach thread, but its happening.

LOOK!



Zachary and Leonard Nimoy (The original Spock for those who don't know)

What's with that weird grin on Zach's face ah well that's still a cute pic..must be touching to diehard Trekkie fans

I think its just a funny angle lol! I'm soo excited!

no confirmed role for William Shatner yet either
way to go Zachary- this is sure to make you even more of a sex symbol. something ive never understood as a guy, but there you go

who is playing young Kirk?
;-)

Ahh those pics are so cute!
I read somewhere that there would be a role for Shatner, but that they haven't found a young Kirk yet!

So is Spock like the main character or something? I know absolutely nothing about Star Trek

Yeah he is, he's the one with the funny ears and the know-it-all

Haha cool. They have the same nose which is even cooler. Lol.

Zach even has his Ears! Not much make-up for him to become Spock!

Ahhh...gotcha.

I'm glad he got it. I really can't imagine any other actor who
would fit the bill better then Zach. He was made for this role.

congrats ZQ
im sure he will make everyone proud by playing this character

more links and info on this i found @ lj

Please don't double post Heroes_fan

im sorry

I saw somewhere that said Leonard Nimoy was reprising Spock Does that mean he'll play an older Spock?

Maybe they travel through dimensions and Leonard Nimoy is in one of them..

The movie is going to be like a "LOST" episode... With Leonard Nemoy being OLD Spock, and Zachary Quinto being Young Spock!

See! That is the key thing for right now, although things can change!

Well that actually seems like a really cool idea..

Yeah, the whole premise of the movie is to show us what was going on during the time Spock and Kirk spent in "The Academy!"

If you know anything about Star Trek, or are a RABID Trekky, then you will know that they have mentioned "The Academy" many, many countless times! And we are finally going to be enlightened... on what life was like for them during "The Academy"

New interview with him

I loved his reaction when he was told that he had a loyal fan base

I have to admit I didn't really understand when they got into the whole Vulcan thing but cool interview (except for him possibly having to lose his eyebrows, that would be weird)

i don't like star trek and never have ...maybe i'll watch it?

I'm sort of in the same boat but hey who knows, maybe the previews will be convincing enough

Everyone on this BOARD MUST go out and RENT "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"

^That is perhaps the BEST Star Trek Film EVER MADE!

OR, you can download it, via BitTorrent. HERE:

Boo..never download movies, for some reason I think that's worse than downloading shows (probably cause you can watch shows for free via the telly)

I did hear that that was the best Star Trek film though..if I ever feel the urge to recruit myself into the Trekkie ranks, I'll make sure to go out and rent that

can't wait to see his spock impression

when's this coming out?

That's funny because he always reminded me of spock for some reason
