The Los Angeles Times posted an interview with composer Michael Giacchino, in which he talks about his upcoming musical scores for Speed Racer and the new Star Trek movie prequel. Here are excerpts from the article.
"They're still shooting 'Star Trek,' so ‘Speed Racer' fit into the waiting area in which I would have been tinkering around with ideas for it," he says. "I'll start on that in April. What I am thinking about is how so much amazing music has been written for the series, whether it be for the show or TV or the later shows. There's so much stuff there that I love, so to have to put something into that world is very daunting."
"In the same way that J.J. took the story and is re-inventing what it is, this is a chance to create something new, thematically, so I am excited about that challenge," he says. "But I want it to feel like it deserves to sit up on the shelf with the other ones."

No worries, Michael, as long as you respect "that world" (i.e. Star Trek), you have as much creative license to "re-invent" TOS music as JJ has to tweak other ornamental elements (e.g. dashboards) which don't effect canon.
Giacchino's musical soundtrack for The Incredibles is utterly brilliant.

The music will suck if Shatner's not singing on it.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.

An homage to the music used in the original series, rather than trying to ape anything from Goldsmith, as much as I love his work. I'm personally hoping for a retooling of the original opening credits theme.
