The Geek Beat: To Boldly Go
I think last week was one of the most passionate ones I've seen in my months of Geek Beatdom. We had competing frenzies, for one, as Twilight and Star Trek battled for news supremacy all across the Internet. It was fandom at its most defining. If aliens came down tomorrow and said "What is this fandom of which you speak?" and I only had ten minutes to explain it before they blew up the Earth, I'd just pull up our archives for the week of November 17th, 2008. First, I have to say ... way to go, Trek fans. S

Updated ‘Star Trek’ Trailer With Elder Spock!
An updated version of the previously released trailer for JJ Abrams' Star Trek is now online. What's the vision? It's only a few seconds, but it's huge. If this had been in the original version of the trailer, everyone who have went completely insane with delight. Near the end, it's the last piece of footage shown from the film before the title comes up -- our first look at Leonard Nimoy as the Elder Spock, oh glory be!!!! Head over to AICN for your pick of three exclusive high-res QuickTime versions, or c

IDW Publishing Boldly Goes To The Shelves With ‘Star Trek: Countdown’ Comic Prequel
May 8, 2009 — just another day for some, but to us geeks, it’s a day that’s been marked on our calendars ever since we first heard news that the crew of the Starship Enterprise was getting a reboot — obviously, we’re speaking of the day J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” hits theaters. It goes without saying that we’ve been glued to our monitors like Captain Kirk on a scantily-clad alien hottie looking for the latest news and clips leading up to the release, and n

Humpback Whales Not Included
Hey, remember when Kirk and Spock had to travel around '80s San Francisco dressed like elderly lesbians and went looking for whales? Then you remember the generally loved Star Trek IV: Free Willy, or whatever the hell it was called (I'm not a fan. A whale killed me dad. sue me). Diamond Select is producing this two-pack of Kirk n' Spock in their killer fashions, due in April. Can me crazy, but I prefer my science fiction films to not be spent whale-hunting in the present day. (Via Action-Figure)

While Star Trek: The Next Generation already had a large following during its first run, it remains to be popular in syndication. Along with Star

Gadget Review: The ‘Executive Series Fusion’ by Wicked Lasers
Ever wonder what it might be like to have a Star Trek phaser of your very own? I have. Ever since I saw Kirk and Spock fire at a rock, a Horta, or a crazed crewman, I’ve been intrigued with the possibilities of coherent light. This led to early perusal of The Way Things Work: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Technology for the explanation of how lasers worked and time spent pouring over ads in Edmund Scientific catalogs for real lasers. Eventually, I got to do some experiments with lasers in my col

New Star Trek Trailer With Mr. Spock
Here’s a new extended version of the Star Trek trailer I posted last week. It’s practically identical except for one small factor… Leonard Nimoy shows up at the end as an older Mr. Spock! Damn cool if you ask me. Star Trek hits theatres May 8th, 2009.

New Star Trek TV Spot
From the sounds of the scuttlebutt on the internet, not many true Trekkies like this reincarnation of what they hold dear to their hearts.

CBS On Sales Block?
The company which holds the television rights to the Star Trek franchise could have a "for sale" shingle on it by 2009. Sumner Redstone, the controlling partner of both Viacom and CBS, already is looking to sell a 1,500-screen theater chain he owns, and may need to satisfy investors by possibly unloading either Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, or CBS. And Redstone has made it clear, he's not interested in selling Viacom, according to The New York Times. If he were to sell CBS, it wouldn'

JJ Abrams Star Trek TV Spot
Matt from Atomic put us onto a new TV Spot for JJ Abrams Star Trek that Paramount has just released. I am really excited for this movie, so much so I have been re-watching all the classic Star Trek movies to get warmed up. From director J.J. Abrams ("Mission: Impossible III," "Lost" and "Alias") and screenwriters Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci ("TRANSFORMERS," "MI: III") comes a new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, "Star Trek," featuring a young, new crew venturing boldly where no ma

“Live long and prosper” - Extended STAR TREK trailer featuring Leonard Nimoy!
Don’t ask me why this wasn’t included in the first place because I really don’t know (though I can speculate it’s because J.J. Abrams is worried an appearance from Nimoy, a cornerstone of the whole idea of Trek, would turn non-fans instantly off) but I’m glad to have it anyway. AICN have an extended trailer for Star Trek which has the first look at Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE TRAILER Paramount Pictures insist this is an online only trailer, a pure gif

Geeky: New 'Star Trek' Trailer and Flash 'Terminator: Salvation' Poster!
A new trailer for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek has just debuted over at AICN, but be warned that it's exactly like the other trailer save for one particular scene that comes right at the end. Yup, I won't tell you exactly what happens, but one look at the image above and you can imagine what you'll see. This particular scene was part of the four Cinematical screened last week, and it takes place on the icy planet where Kirk (Chris Pine) gets sent to. It's there where he meets an older version of Spock (played by

Leonard Nimoy Appears in New ‘Star Trek’ Trailer
Ain’t It Cool News got their hands on a new version of the previous Star Trek trailer in what I can only assume will be an Internet only version and this time the special treat is our first look at Leonard Nimoy as Spock in the final moments. And as you can see from the screen capture above he looks just like… Leonard Nimoy. You can check the trailer out in all kinds of high-definition QuickTime right here. For a larger look at the screen capture above click here or on the pic.

First Look: Leonard Nimoy as Old Spock in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek
AICN has an exclusive slightly remixed version of the Star Trek trailer. The huge difference is the addition of Leonard Nimoy as Old Spock, making his first big screen appearance as the character since 1991. How very epic!

Leonard Nimoy Star Trek SPOCK Photo
Spock is back... older.. greyer but definitely back in JJ Abrams Star Trek! Below you can checkout the first photo of Leonard Nimoy from the upcoming Star Trek Movie being done by none other then JJ Abrams. Seeing Leonard in his Spock getup gives me the warm and fuzzies and makes me think how right this movie can end up being. I loved the trailer, I loved the new photos and TV spot and I definitely love seeing Spock. For comparison below you can checkout Leonard as Old Spock and his younger sidekick

Leonard Nimoy Wishes You Long Life, Prosperity
It's (original) Spock! AICN has a new Star Trek trailer that tacks the additional shot on the end, giving a first look at Leonard Nimoy in the film. Has word leaked on why Nimoy is in this, or at least if time travel is involved? Tell me it's not more time travel. I'll accept it in the name of whale preservation, but they cannot keep using this plot device. I do not want to see Spock to find himself in a time portal again. I do, however, want to see him find himself here. Comments (6) Digg Reddit
