A first look at the new U.S.S. Enterprise.
I’m curious to see how J.J. Abrams brings back Star Trek, a franchise that badly needed some new blood. Recasting the original cast is a bold movie (Simon Pegg as Scotty?!), but Star Trek badly needs an update after years of the same old stuff. This seems to be the kind of bold reinvention of the franchise that could keep it alive, just as the Bond franchise got a much-needed retooling with Casino Royale.
After Fred Thompson’s Presidential campaign expires in another 60 hours, you’ll have plenty of time to watch “Star Trek”.
