I don't like the idea of prequels in the Star Trek Universe. Prequels are limited to what can be done. You can't kill off any of the characters, You can't introduce and new gadgets or aliens we haven't already seen before without questions like where the hell were these guys when Kirk and Picard were captains!? The movie is going to have to rely on the same gimmicks that Enterprise relied on. It's going to play to the crowd that enjoys seeing the first person to use the transporter or the first time someone did warp 5.
As for the cast, I think there's some cool actors in there. Simon Peg as Scotty and Zachary Quinto(Sylar on heroes) as Spock...
