Quote"If there?s something I?m dying to see, it?s the brilliance and optimism of Roddenberry?s world brought back to the big screen," J.J. Abrams was quoted in a Paramount press release, which in its title again confirmed Abrams will be directing the new Trek film. Abrams continued: "[Alex Kurtzman] and Roberto Orci] wrote an amazing script that embraces and respects Trek canon, but charts its own course. Our goal is to make a picture for everyone ? life-long fans and the uninitiated. Needless to say, I am honored and excited to be part of this next chapter of Star Trek."

It is really hard to even hope this will not suck.
I think it will help that there is no current series running now.
Skeptical, but sure I'll still see it anyways... sucker and his money syndrome :).

And it will also help that Abrams has an obvious respect (based on interviews I've seen/read) for the series and what it means to most fans...

Good! It was fans and their acceptance of mediocre writing with "TREK" written on it who killed Star Trek in my opinion.
