These are certainly exciting times for Star Trek. The recent news is certainly encouraging.

To address Mikel's comment, I think the one thing JJ Abrams is doing that will really help this movie is by having the story be Spock-centric, as has been reported. By having Nimoy in the film as Spock, it adds credence to the new actor, Quinto and to the others. Bond never did that, or Superman, etc. Spock's appearance his been debunked as a bookends type of appearance as has been speculated. He appears to play a role in the story and that's about all we know.

The addition of Shatner as Kirk would certainly sweeten the deal. JJAbrams may be being diplomatic in his comment to want to have the Shat, there's likely very little chance they can work him into the screenplay in a meaningful way that's appropriate for the story. We all wish for it of course!
