    months before Trek opened, i told my friend, "they're going to do a Space Seed/ WOK redo on the next one just watch." the only difference, i think i said Antonio Banderas would be Kahn. heh. comedy ensues!

    but to be honest, i'd like to see them continue to chart new territory instead of redo old ideas, which is why they went to such lengths with the plot on the first one. it would be pretty dumb move to squander that set up, and i think they know that too. but Hollywood never ceases to amaze me....

    @Bootknife-Jackson: Second. Said to a friend of mine that the success of the "first" film will lead to bigger budgets, bigger expectations, and more studio involvement/meddling.

    @Bootknife-Jackson: Oh Yeah. Number of villains = x -1 where x is the movie number. I can just see the execs now. "Star Trek was awesome with one villain... so two villains will up the awesomeness factor by... a billion."

    Forest Whitaker. If he can pull off Idi Amin, Khan is a cakewalk.

    In reply to Is Nestor Carbonell Bringing His Guylinered Stare To Star Trek's Khan?
    I have been reading stories/rumors about the possibilities of Khan being in the new Star Trek 2 movie.
    I want to say I was there in front of the Tv watching Trek when it 1st aired in the 1960's.I watched all the Treks.I am not a trekkie but I do enjoy Trek.One thing I enjoyed was always new stories which you have to at least give them credit for that.No shows or movies were remade or rebooted till now.
    Now I enjoyed the new Trek film as a scifi-action popcorn blockbuster but not so much as a Trek fan.I didnot hate that aspect and some of it I thought was good to give them credit but there are some major issues I had with that film.Still I support the franchise but now I must say I am kind of getting annoyed.I must state for the record if Trek turns into YARM (or my new term) Alternate YARM I think I will just have to leave the franchise.I have no intention of spending a dime on a Trek that is just stealing from the past.What a bummer this krap is...........................now even Trek is going to turn into YARM !!!
    Whatever

    In reply to Is Nestor Carbonell Bringing His Guylinered Stare To Star Trek's Khan?
    Part of me would love to see Kahn return to Trek in some form or fashion, but the other part of me wonders what the hell the point was of rebooting Trek with an alternate timeline if all that's going to be done with it is recycle previously existing storylines and iconic characters...

    There must be a balance in there somewhere.

    @AngryEddy: Well... many old characters are bound to cross paths with the Enterprise, only in different circumstances, and with different attitudes based on different backgrounds. A sworn enemy could be a friend if X had not happened, and vice versa. Many interesting things can be done this way (see the Age of Apocalypse for examples), and also many boring ones like remaking old stuff with new technology

    I would rather see Orci and Kurtzman create new villains. Ricardo Montalban's portrayal of Khan is so iconic and awesome that anybody else filling his manly chest would seem like a pale imitation.

    PLEASE, NO!

    I love Star Trek, I love Wrath of Khan.

    Let the original series have it's gems.

    For this new crew, I want to see new stories and new directions. Let some unknown offscreen ship handle the upcoming events like Vger and the whale probe. This new crew needs to stand on their own with the occasional nod to the fans.
