“Leaked” Star Trek Trailer Is Probably An Awesome Fake

This teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie popped up a few minutes ago. Is it the real thing? We're skeptical. For one thing, the Spock "space, the final frontier" speech is probably lifted from the end of Wrath of Khan. For another, would Paramount really let Abrams put his Bad Robot logo at the start of the trailer? We're posting it here because if it is real, it won't be on YouTube for long. What do you think? UPDATE: It's a fake.
