I had about given up that they would have any more Star Trek movies, series etc but recently heard that a movie was due out in 2008 around Christmas.
Other than that I don't know much about it, which cast, or series it is from etc,
Other than it is going to be a "reimaging" what do they mean by reimaging any way, little is being said which is natural, but there are no teasers to be found as of yet, no maybe it is this, or maybe it is that.
Anyone else heard anything?

Yes I got the information from www.startrek.com
I was trying to remember something about an actress who portrayed someone in one of the DS9 episodes you know those silly trivia things, and when I looked it up, found a short piece on the release of a movie due christmas 08
But nothing more than that.

Yes I agree I am not ready for a remake, I wonder though if they are going to go for new characters, I just don't know does this mean they will use a new ship? I mean they stated that there will be a star ship since you can't have star trek with out one, but does it mean a ship other than the enterprise? I am ok with that even with new characters, I am just not sure which direction they are taking this into, if they concentrate to much on money making instead of good story making they could have a disaster, some of the early star trek movies show that yet even with how bad some of the are still have them in my collection anyway.
The link below will take you to the very little bit of information on the star trek site.

Since they stretched the franchise about as far as it could be milked they (Paramount Studios) are probably going to re-invent a young Captain Kirk. Much like they did with the new James Bond. Go back to the beginning and start all over.

One of the things they were talking about was making this a movie even non star trek fans would or could see, so I am wondering if they are going with new characters.
Though the star trek site does have a pole going on, I think the titles they have people voting on give an idea as to what kind of stories people may be interested in, such one of the choices is Star Trek XI: Kirk Begins...
I suppose if enough people vote on something like this then they may go in that direction.
If the writers are going for new characters and enough people vote for something on an early Kirk I wonder then will they maybe have two types of movies to work with, and would that then be the 2010, movie? It has been so long since there was a Star Trek movie, I suppose it is good that they waited to do something right rather than rush it out.
But how much of a rush is it going to be, when they haven't used this time off for writing creating a good story, if the article on startrek.com is true the story isn't even written yet.

Well, this is the first I have heard of this, so thank you for the heads up. I had a look at MAnia.com and found a quote by JJ Abrams, who appears to be involved. I guess the original information came from Variety Magazine?
"...Star Trek XI is on track to be released in 2008.
Abrams is teaming with Lost co-creators-writers-producers Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk on the 11th installment of the popular franchise. Burk, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will executive produce.
No official word on the plot, but rumors say it will feature a younger Kirk at the academy."

You're welcome, this link is to a poll for people who want to vote on a possible movie title.
http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/community/polls/index.html
two of the titles involve Kirk, so this may be true.
The site has an article from the writers as well, However they did do a poll on the rumors of who should play a young Kirk IF it is going to happen.
