"Star Trek" Warps on Its Way

The young and old Spock have been cast for J.J. Abrams' new "Star Trek". The official title of the film is no less than the original title of the first series. Zachary Quinto will be playing the young Spock and Leonard Nimoy will reprise his role as the older Spock. Currently, despite previous reports, they are trying to including William Shatner in the film reprising his role as Kirk. No young Kirk has been cast yet, and despite previous rumors, Matt Damon will not playing the part. Abrams has said they're looking for someone younger.
This makes sense to me and it's good to hear that Shatner is being recruited for the role. I hope he takes the job after this past misunderstanding that they didn't want him in the movie. Zach looks like a "logical" choice for Spock and I'm very excited to Nimoy back in the pointed ears as well. I actually really excited for this.
Below is Quinto and Nimoy shaking hands at Comic Con:

And here is the new teaser poster for "Star Trek". I love the old school font. Click to enlarge:
