Director/producer/other stuff-er JJ Abrams has mentioned the next Star Trek film in an interview. As you all know when someone says anything about a forthcoming sci-fi or superhero film, it’s our duty as a blog to report the same story as everybody else regardless of how little information we are actually conveying.

Your job, as drooling fanboys, is to then get all excited/angry about what we write.

The range of characters that Leonard Nimoy has played in his time is staggering – there was Spock in Star Trek.

And Spock in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. And, um… oh, you know, all those other characters that IMDb says he played. Like Narab in 1952′s Zombies Of The Stratosphere.

And the latest Star Trek-related news suggests that it might just be able to, thanks to another piece of wayward casting. It's been announced that, as well as the bloke from Heroes, one of Harold and Kumar and Simon Pegg, Star Trek will also star Winona Ryder as Spock's Vulcan mother. What Winona Ryder will actually do in Star Trek remains to be seen, although it's probably safe to say that there's going to be a subplot where Spock experiences all sorts of emotionally-conflicting erotic thoughts about his own mother. Well, he is part-human, after all.
