Y’all know that, like any other reasonable and logical person, I’m a Star Trek fan, right? Well, an interesting thing is happening to the franchise – it’s getting a re-boot, modern-day Batman style.

Daily Mail sez:

The eagerly anticipated Star Trek film is set to cast off the geeky associations of the sci-fi genre with a handsome cast, vicious fights and sex scenes.

A trailer for the new movie was released online on Monday, no doubt fuelling the excitement of Trekkies around the world ahead of the film’s release next year.

The fast-paced trailer include snippets from the childhoods of Captain James T Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto), lending an insight to the men they grow up to become.

I’m skeptical.  There’s no way the new Kirk can be good – he looks like he’s 19 years old and just walked off the cover of Teen People.

However, it’s already generating buzz, so maybe there’s something to it.  I never was much of a fan of the original series anyway.

Here’s the bootleg trailer:

What do you think about this?  If you’re a fan, will you want to see this?  If you’re not, will you?  I’m posting a poll here.
