Star Trek 2009 official discussion

*Anarky* · 02-27-2007, 11:52 AM

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?

Can't really see Brody as Spock. Sinise seems like a good choice though.

**Barkworm** · 02-27-2007, 12:09 PM

Brody lacks Spock's arrogant look but apart from that he would't be a bad choice.

That's the way it really is, slapnuts, get used to it.

*Anarky* · 02-27-2007, 12:29 PM

I know that it's his "True" name, but I'm just used to Pille. Bones sounds like someone else, while there's only one Pille out there. Bones can be anyone, from an archeologist to a bad ass biker-dude. But Pille, well, Pille's Pille.

As long as they visit the Nazi planet (as seen in the original series) then I'm all for it.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-27-2007, 12:48 PM

I still can't get used to this. Really trying, but it's hard to adjust to.

*Dr. Doom* · 02-27-2007, 02:09 PM

...There's nothing to get used to yet. Calm down.

Zachary Quinto (Sylar on "Heroes") has been reportadly cast as Spock in the new Star Trek film. J.J Abrahms will be officially announcing this at Comic Con. I for one can't picture Sylar as my Spock.... He's nowhere near as hot as Leonard Nimoy. Hrm...maybe tho he'll look cute with Vulcan ears.....

Sorry... I do search for exsisting threads. There's just times when I can't find it in the search. :/

Anyways... I played around in Paint Shop Pro with an image of Zachary Quinto, turning him into the best er Vulcan look I could do. Dude looks weird with pointy ears.

*lol*... Spock's half human and he's smiled before so no it's not illegal.
