 Well, not a whole lot of Star Trek (2008) news came out this week, but we are under the 500 day mark now, I suppose that's worth a drink. Or two. Either way, there were still some snippets to be had here or there, including a new poster released at The Official Star Trek Convention 2007 in Sin City Las Vegas. More follows after the break... to the round-up!
Star Trek.com: New poster, Shatner and Nimoy have a chat
 Our coverage of Vegas will be simply cover what was learned at the convention, which wasn't much. Firstly, there's a new poster. And again, it doesn't say much more than what we already knew. Click the image to view a bigger version. Also, Shatner does not appear to yet be in contact with JJ Abrams, at least at the time of the convention, as Nimoy engaged in a (apparently mock) phone conversation with the aforementioned director/producer and said, "I told J.J. Star Trek would be better with you than without you. And I remind you that you died in Star Trek VII, but I was not in it. And if I had been in it I would not have allowed you to die."

USA Today: We're going back in time... time... tiiiiime...
No, we don't actually know that this is a time travel story, but it does at least confirm a real detail that has been speculated on for some time now: ST08 will be set before the original Star Trek series. Says Quinto: "I really identify with Spock’s struggle. We’re going back to a time before anything was established. These characters are in a completely different stage of their lives." Also, he is apparently still working on his Vulcan salute. Live long and prosper.
