IGN Movies reports that there are talks about J.J. Abrams directing the new Star Trek movie. The main cast, also still in talks and not confirmed: Matt Damon as James Tiberius Kirk, Adrien Brody as Spock and Gary Sinise as Bones. Read the article here.

I dunno, but the three seem like a good pick. They look a lot like their 1960s counterparts and they're all good actors. But Lost's Jin as Sulu? Nah, thanks. He doesn't look anything like Takei did back in the day and he's always seeming kinda "wooden" when acting. But I could live with that. What I couldn't live with would be Halle Berry as Uhura. Not that there have been any talks in that direction, but she's the first bombshell black actress that comes to mind. And I wonder who will play Scottie.

All in all, I am happy that they're going back to the traditional Enterprise. The first one there was.

On a completely unrelated sidenote: I hate McCoy's english nickname "Bones". Why can't they just adapt the German version "Pille" (=Pill)? Sounds a lot friendlier, don't you think?
