StarTrek XI I hear is supposed to be a remake.

According to TheMovieBlog.com The latest Star Trek movie will be a Reboot like Battle Star Galactic. (I like the new Galactic but I still think the original was much better. It just needed a real ending) I'm not sure remake with a new Kirk and Spock is the best way to go. To me it sounds like they just need a way around some of the constrains that Roddenberry build into the show. I can see them trying to twist things like the prime directive to make story lines easy to come up with.

I don't think it is the best idea and it could be an easy way to bring about the death of the franchise once and for all. Star Trek Fans expect things to be a certain way and if they are not that way it is not true Trek.

On the positive side we get a new movie. Which is better than none at all. Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have a tuff job ahead of them if they are going to make the next movie a success.
