Star Trek has a new spock

New Star Trek movie and a new Spock



Holy cow am I excited!!! Those of you that know me know that I love Star Trek, yes I am a Trekkie. Well the news good or not depending on who you ask is that Star Trek has a new spock for their up coming new star trek movie.

From Star Trek .com:
(July 26,2007) at Comic-Con in San Diego, J.J. Abrams and his creative team have revealed new artwork for the second teaser poster. The lettering may be familiar -- and once again we get an Original Series look -- but this time the logo is inverted, and is written with starry letters, all on a white background. You can see a larger version by clicking here.

But that's not all! Confirming once again that this is a Kirk/Spock story, the casting kicks off with the announcement of Zachary Quinto as "Spock," who was joined at the presentation by the original himself, Leonard Nimoy. For the record, Nimoy will be donning the ears once more as well, confirming a storyline that would include both a young Spock and his older self.

Read the complete story here.
But of course the Trek fans will be kept in the dark I suspect until release date, which looks to be in 2008, or until some insider leaks more info and perhaps a synopsis of the new movie in the web-o-sphere. But you can guess it has something to do with the old series, or will be referencing an earlier period in the star trek universe, because Zach Quinto will be playing a young spock.
OOOOOHHHH I cant wait

Star Wars: Spectacular High Resolution Galaxy Map

Admittedly I am a Star Wars Geek. And I say it proudly.
Vive La Force.
This A.M while I was surfing Digg to see whats up and whats news and I came across this great posting.
All you Star Wars Fans are gonna love this.
Haven't you ever wondered where all the planets and galaxies in the Star Wars movies are in relation to each other. (probably not - I'm a geek I know). Chek out the Star Map below for a lay out of the Star Wars Universe.

Click on the picture for the full shot.
I think this is just wicked. And man it must have taken a dogs age to get done.

The Star Wars Galaxy Map was first published in Issue One of The Official Star Wars Fact File in 2002; and then later republished in Issue 65 of the Star Wars Insider, which was released in February 2003.
