Now... before you take this is gold, these are only *rumors* I picked up from the net, but some of the casting favoreds for the next movie are:

Kirk: Matt Damon
Spock: Adrian Brody
McCoy: Gary Sinise
Scotty: James McAvoy (the scottish guy on the Last King of Scotland)
Sulu: Daniel Dae Kim (LOST)

Now, none of these people have actually been cast... but what do you think? good crew or no?

And iut's official, J.J. abrahams signed on to direct

Adrien Brody is awesome.

The rest I'm indifferent.

I hope people won't hate on it like Nemesis...

I think Gary Sinise is a brilliant choice for McCoy. He's got the perfect gruffness. And he's tasty. wink The rest... too Hollywood.

Daniel Dae Kim

Gary Sinise

Adrian Brody I like the rest? No. Is Uhurah and Checkof gonna be in it?

Not being very into knowing who's who in hollywood I really don't know who any of these people are but a Kirk who is not Shatner is going to have a hard time filling up those very big shoes. By the way what happened to the rumor that Tom Hanks was going to be in it it was all over the web? Also I'm certain they will cast an Uhura and a Chekov if they are going to make a new original series movie.

I'm assuming that uhura and Chekov will be in it too, these were the only characters the news article listed as having any clear favorite actors.

I'm stoked about Daniel Dae Kim for Sulu, personally, and Gary Sinise seems like a good choice.

but Matt Damon...... ??!!


Please someone tell me it ain't gonna be so

Excluding McAvoy and Damon, they chose some really good lookalikes. And they may not have listed Uhura because they haven't found the right actress for her yet. As for Chekov, was he even in the first Season? I thought they added him later on to fill in the spot of a Russian.

I thought this is supposed to be a movie based on the beginning of Kirk and crew? Aren't some of these cast choices (the same one's I have heard as well) a bit old? In fact, if this is the beginning shouldn't they be in their mid 20's (if it's post academy) or early 30's (if it's set just before the first five year mission)? That is the reason why I think ultimately most of the rumors are just that - rumors.

Well... I'm not putting too much stock in it; though it was a news article, not a blog report.

Then again the only really older actor among them is Gary Sinise.

Still; there's a chunk of me that hopes that some of these really are rumors.

I dun wanna irritate you any, but would you mind if I edited your post with pictures of the Actors? I think having a mental image of these people would help alot.

    Matt Damon as Kirk?
    I would have thought Affleck would be better.


    At least they're not making an Enterprise movie..

    (they have most of them wrong, but Brody and Damon are correct.)

    I think Brody would make a good spock...

Beyonce could play Uhura. Her facial features are quite similar. And I doubt they would cast a Chekhov, as he was introduced in the second season I think.

I knew there was a movie comig out but the last time I heard something, I heard that Shatner might of been confirmed.
