SnooGanS85, what are you talking about? The 80's all over again with no original movies, all sequels and remakes? The 80's didn't have any more remakes than the 90's or even the first half of this decade. And nothing about the music harkens back to the 80's for me, unless the next Star Trek soundtrack will feature Europe and synthesizers.

Rewatching the original series on Bluray I've noticed many planets/species/situations that are ripe for revisiting without retreading any of the ground of the previous films. Kirk vs Orions, against the Gorn (which could look great now vs the old "guy in suit" look), and naturally the Klingons.

Im with Sold on this one, lets see an appearance of Khan in ST2! And who better to play him than "Copley" or the villian from "Basterds", or hell bring in Michael Sheen to play a totally new villian or maybe Bill Nighy!

Wow did know one just catch what J.J. just said. He's basically telling us all that "Yeah I'd love to do another Star Trek film, but I want to do it with some integrity." Wow, that's rare in Hollywood these days. After having just seen Wolverine and Transformers 2 and having heard about how great those films would be by their directors and producers because of their awesome action. It's kinda of nice hearing a director/producer say the heart of this (action/sci fi) film is the plot, charcters, and script, and that he's not going to do anything until he knows those are good. Plus Abrams helped create and produce Lost which in my book is the greatest show ever (along with Seinfeld of course). As for another M.I. I thought the third was the best of the series, and was sadly overlooked.

Why didn't he just say "Insert Hollywood sequel cliche speech here."? Would've saved a lot of time.
