Its great to hear Nimoy's voice again.

I was also glad to see JJ Abrams is directing it. There is a good Wikipedia article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_(film)

The best news of all, no cameo by Shatner in spite of his trying. The guy just doesn't like to stay dead.

William Shatner has repeatedly said he would like to reappear as the old Kirk, despite having been killed off in Star Trek: Generations. He suggested bringing elements of the novels where Kirk is resurrected into canon with the film. Abrams turned him down, stating "You and I could come up with dozens of ways, but every way that we came up with felt like it was transparently fan boys trying to get Shatner in the movie."
