Geeking Out in Warp Drive: J.J. Abrams’ Revamped Star Trek

I know that the new Star Trek film does not debut until May 8, 2009, but it’s never too early to get your geek on when it comes to revamped franchises like this.  And yes, my nerd fever is elevated because Lost‘s J.J. Abrams is at the helm.

Make sure to bookmark and visit the official movie site, because it’s far too much fun and should prove to be an excellent procrastination activity.

While you may not recognize the new cast immediately, some of their names will ring familiar.  From left to right in the photo above: Anton Yelchin (Alpha Dog) as Chekov, Chris Pine (Smokin’ Aces) as Captain Kirk, Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz) as Scotty, Karl Urban (The Lord of the Rings) as Bones McCoy, John Cho (Harold & Kumar) as Sulu and Zoe Saldana (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) as Uhura.

And of course, Sylar Zachary Quinto (Heroes) as Spock:

Also appearing in the film are Eric Bana, Leonard Nimoy, Winona Ryder,  Jennifer Morrison (House), Rachel Nichols (Alias), Bruce Greenwood (John From Cincinnati), Ben Cross (Chariots of Fire), Clifton Collins Jr. (Capote) and Faran Tahir (Iron Man), among others.

It’s early…but are you in?
