This time around, you will not see Leonard Nimoy or William Shatner but two new faces donning the Star Trek Enterprise uniforms. Most of us are familiar with the long eared Spock, played timelessly by Nimoy but this time around, Zachary Quinto will play the part. Entertainment Weekly has released a couple of photo teasers for fans to see via the web.

As far as Captain Kirk, Chris Pine is the successor of Shatner, completing a vast overhaul of the classic sci-fi series from yesteryears. As we can see, there will be a lot of innovations and improvements to this classic series and film. This is a good reboot for all followers of Star Trek fame, including yours truly.
