Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy to play Spock


Director and executive producer J.J. Abrams has announced that Zachary Quinto - one of the stars of Heroes - will play Spock in his upcoming eleventh Star Trek film, and confirmed that Leonard Nimoy will play the older Spock as well!!
As for Kirk's role its still not cast l Abrams introduced Quinto as the new Spock and confirmed William Shatner's statements that Leonard Nimoy would appear in the film as Spock in later years. The writers still want Shatner to appear as well as the original Kirk, but have not yet worked out a way for to bring in the character as an older man.
I was surprised to hear that Nimoy and now perhaps also Shatner will return as their characters... I had no doubts they would appear only I was under the impression it would be a walk on part as maybe another character.... Like as their Dads or something

To me....It sort of goes against the vision originally spouted of a completely new imagining of Trek if these people are going to feature as themselves again.... then again maybe they will just be in the beginning and then thats it.....
