Not a lot of new info but some interesting remarks by Damon Lindeloff and by Quinto on the subject of Chris Pine.

Quinto said:
I knew Chris before. It’s so weird, I’ve known at least three or four of the other cast members. Either I’ve worked with them or crossed paths with them, or I’ve known them socially in the past.

Lindelof said:
And fortunately [Heroes executive producer] Tim Kring and I are very close, so I was able to reach out to him and say ‘What's your plan for Season 2 with this guy, because we'd really love to cast him as Spock.’

Hollywood. Where everybody knows everybody else.

Good Article.

I'm looking forward to the Documentaries on the DVD. Should be good.

At last summer’s San Diego Comic-Con Abrams told a crowd of fans that he held high hopes that they new film would also feature William Shatner reprising his role as Captain Kirk (despite the fact Kirk was killed off in the seventh feature film, 1994’s Generations).

"There are still ongoing talks," reported Lindelof. "We're pretty much exactly where we were with Comic Con … Look, the reality is Trek was up and running and in existence and iconic before we came so we've been basically invited to the party that these guys have been throwing for the last 40 years, so obviously it would be HUGE if Mr. Shatner wanted to be any part of the franchise. It's a challenge for us, though, because they killed Kirk off … But hey, it's Trek, anything's possible, right?

Ongoing talks? High hopes? Anything's possible? Hmmmmmm......

And yes, for the new incarnation it’s OKAY if you don’t know what a Tribble is, according to executive producer Damon Lindelof..

I guess, it's ok then to ask my wife out that very night.
