J.J. Abrams, producer of hit shows Lost and Alias, as well as director of the upcoming Paramount film "Mission: Impossible III," is slated to produce and direct the next Star Trek feature.
The proposed story will focus on the early days of James T. Kirk and Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first mission in space.

Anyway, good to hear there's another one in the pipe. (I still haven't seen the last one - should rent it on DVD sometime.)
Wesley Crusher should be mentioned as having been clubbed to death at some point in the past
I just had a very similar discussion in another forum :-)
As for the age thing: I'm sure the infinite supply of actors in Hollywood will come up with two persons who can get away with being the juvenile version of Kirk and Spock. Maybe Shatner/Nimoy have sons/grandsons who are actors?
And as to what you can get away with: just take a look at the new Battlestar Galactica series. All I say is "Starbuck".
It's probably more of a question of ... acting ability ...
He was hilarious on Millionaire a while back. He was the last celebrity left in the contestant pool -- they gave him a Fastest Finger question that went like: Put these words in the proper order: Kirk, James, Tiberius, Captain. He got it wrong, but they had to let him on anyway. :)
Hehe yeah. I like Shatner
He's great. Did you hear any of the songs off his latest album, "Has Been"? The one, "Common People", is brilliant. It's a Pulp cover, done by him and Joe Jackson.
Yeah, trot out Bill and Leonard, and trowel the make-up on them. I'd very much like it if Quark were along, though - maybe have him fall through a time-distortion hole/thingmajig to get him back there. Even though he was a Ferengi, he was the most human of the bunch on TNG, and the only one I could really relate to.
