It’s very nearly the ides of March meaning that the summer is only a few months away bringing with it the summer movie season. Certainly one of the most anticipated movies of the season is the new J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek film.

The trailers I have seen for the flick appear to do the series justice, all without the over acting William Shatner made famous. Paramount Pictures announced recently that the latest trailer for the film that debuted March 6 exclusively on Apple.com has broken download records for the site.

In the first 24 hours of availability the trailer was downloaded over 1.8 million times and the trailer has since went on to become the most popular HD download ever offered on the site with over 5 million downloads its first 5 days. I for one really hope that the trailer doesn’t offer the only interesting moments of the entire film.
