Ok, I'm not a trekkie or anything, but I have seen all the movies related to the original star trek, so I will definately see this. So the first two, everybody should know by now, is that Sylar, aka Zachary Quinto is playing spock and Leonard Nimoy will be Old Spock. Over the last few days, some other names have surfaced. Eric Bana signed on to play the villain, Nero. Simon Pegg from Hot Fuzz and Shuan of the Dead will play Scotty John Cho from Harold and Kumar and the MILF lover from American Pie is Sulu And some dude I've never heard of, Chris Pine seems to have nabbed the most important role, Captain Kirk. The other knowns: Anton Yelchin as Chekov Zoe Saldana as Uhura (The chick playing Uhura looks hot.) What do you guys think?
I'd heard of the Kirk and Spock casting. Thanks for the update. The casting looks really good, especially Spock.
I had no idea about any of this, but just seeing the cast I'm psyched for some reason. But who the hell is going to play Kirk?
It's supposed to be a prequel I guess. A movie was almost made years ago(it would have been Star Trek 6 or 7 so early 90s) centering around the Academy years of Kirk and Spock, this movie might be similar to that or take place right after they graduate.
"Reboot" Supposed to center around their first adventure as a crew. They need to prove it to me. Evan
If it's a prequel, aren't their hands tied a little as far as what kind of stories they can tell? If it's a reboot and all the continuity's being dumped, then I guess this could work. I don't see how they'll ever come close to Wrath of Khan though.
Eric Bana will play a villain called Nero. http://trekmovie.com/2007/10/14/this-week-in-trek-casting-a-lot-of-casting/#more-1109
Other than the pick for Chekov, I think it's a good job. That Zoe chick is way too hot to be playing Uhara, lol. Could they have cast a better Spock?
