Boldly returning to where no man has gone before!

Here’s the neat new full-length trailer that’s been running in theaters with the new James Bond movie.  I can’t sign on to this yet, and I have my doubts, but if that’s a young & fit Uhura stripping down to her Starfleet undies, I’ll be there on opening day!

But still no James T. Kirk

Yahoo reports that the cast for the movie re-launch of Star Trek is shaping up.

Rumors abound as to what the story is about. It does appear that Nero is the bad guy, and will be a Romulan. This is an early adventure of the Enterprise crew, but the presence of Captain Pike complicates things for oldschool fans like me.

Seems the whole project is to make Trek ‘cool’ for a new generation of young, disrespectful, & unemployed slackers. Seems as good a financial bet as any, at this point, though.

I don’t have a good feeling about this, but I’ll give it a shot when it comes out on Christmas Day, 2008.

Here’s what we have so far.

Green is confirmed. Red is rumored.

James Kirk	Chris Pine
Spock	Zachary Quinto
Leonard McCoy	?	?
Scotty	Simon Pegg
Uhura	Zoe Saldana
Sulu	John Cho
Chekov	Anton Yelchin
Nero	Eric Bana
Mr. Spock	Leonard Nimoy
Captain Christopher Pike	?	?
