And Khan. He was awesome. I liked Christian Slaters cameo as well.

Abrams and Nimoy and the new spock at Comic Con 2007.

Highlights:

1. Zachary is the New Spock

2. Abrams will direct the movie

3. Nimoy will be in it

4. They are "trying" to figure out a way to put Kirk in it, but they won't do it if it's just stupid

UPDATE- Kirk and McCoy have been signed...

Chris Pine as James T. Kirk
Zachary Quinto as Spock
Karl Urban as Leonard McCoy
Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott
Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov
Zoë Saldaña as Nyota Uhura
John Cho as Hikaru Sulu
Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott
Leonard Nimoy as the older Spock
Eric Bana as Nero, the villain of the film

Eric Bana as the bad guy sounds cool. I don't know that it's 100% confirmed though.

Simon Pegg as Scotty sounds dope. Pegg is from Hot Fuzz and Sean Of The Dead.

John Cho from Harold and Kumar is Sulu, that could be alright. Sulu had this deep voice though.

-HECK!

This is sounding good to me so far. Not hearing a lot of cheeser stuff.

I been watching the new computer graphics Star Treks here the last few weeks. The planets look awesome, the ship looks awesome, I love that too.

Now that we have Kirk and McCoy, the bridge crew is locked in.

I like the choice of Kirk. The kid looks familiar. I guess he was in Smokin' Aces. I've seen the movie, didn't like it though.

Not so sure with the guy playing McCoy. Doesn't exactly fit for me. But once they're all in costume and spouting the lines, it could all add up.

-HECK!

This is really going to make people happy or piss them off, going with the old crew.

Shatner came out and said the producers are insane for not including him in the new movie.

I think Shatner's a little pissed since Nimoy is going to be in it.

Abrahms should totally have Shatner in there, maybe at the end, saying he didn't die in that one Next Generation movie. Or some shit like that.

-HECK!

I think just some scene with Shatner and Nimoy sitting in a room, drinking some shots, that would work, they wouldn't even need lines.

Hell, just throw in a clip from TJ Hooker and I'd be satisfied.

Hooker.

-HECK!

Some more casting news-

Semi-spoilers, perhaps...


Bruce Greenwood has been cast as Captain Christopher Pike, Kirk's predecessor behind the big chair on Enterprise.

Pike was the original captain on Trek's first failed pilot. The character was later shown in the original Trek's only two-parter where they played clips from the old school pilot and had Pike in that weird black thing where he could only communicate with a blinking light.


Rachel Nichols has joined the cast, from I've read she's going to play Janice Rand. Rand was that blond hottie that appeared on a lot of episodes. Kind of a pseudo main cast member, but not really. She appeared in Trek 6 on Sulu's Excelsior, if memory serves.


Finally, one that kind of surprised me...

Amanda Grayson, Spock's human mother, will be played by Winona Ryder. Another pretty big name joins the cast, sweet. Spock's mom appeared in an original series episode, then in Trek IV.


Filming on the movie started this week.

I hear a teaser trailer is in the works.

-HECK!

I'm all in on this one. Keith Urban is a great choice for McCoy. I'm comparing their features in my head, and I think the width of their eyes seem to match up pretty well...

What else has that dude done?

-HECK!

Whoops, I meant Karl Urban... He was the guy from Pathfinder, also I think he was in Doom, and I also think he was in The Chornicles of Riddick. I like his stern look. He makes a good nastyface...

Found me a good pic of the new crew on startrek.com

I'm happy with most of it. What's good is, if the movie works, these people might sign up for a series...

Sorry, I missed the bottom row of names with the pic. Eric Bana is Nero, the bad guy. Ben Cross is Sarek, Spocks dad. And Winona Ryder is Spocks mom, forget her name at the moment, Amanda or something.

PRODUCTION NUMBER: 011
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 12.25.2008

Subsequent casting announcements have included Chris Pine as Kirk, Karl Urban as McCoy, Anton Yelchin as Chekov, Zoë Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scotty, and John Cho as Sulu.
Christopher Pike, Kirk's predecessor in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise, will be part of the story, and that role will be filled by Bruce Greenwood. There will be a villain named "Nero," played by Eric Bana. Nero's cohort "Ayel" will be played by Clifton Collins Jr.
Winona Ryder will portray "Amanda Grayson," Spock's human mother, and Chris Hemsworth will be a young "George Kirk," father of James T. Kirk.

Sweet balls of crap, that is a sweet pic. Nice pull! I haven't seen that on the net at all.

-HECK!

awesome, good find.

teaser trailor for the movie!

http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/01/21/star-trek-teaser-trailer-launches/

I love Nimoys voice and I also love the old sound effects, I think they called that the planet singing. Makes that spooky effect.

i didn't actually watch the trailor.... i just saw the link and knew you guys would enjoy it.

I did enjoy, thanks!

Heck! was telling me about it in California, but I forgot to look it up when I got back.
