Oh my.. I can't imagine him in a serious role. I bet he can pull it off, but it'll be odd in the first few scenes.

Cool! But odd, too. Like Doohan, he's not Scottish either, but can probably pull off the accent a little better. Do you think they'll have him dye his hair brown?

Plus:

1. Eric Bana as the villain "Nero"...possibly a Romulan?

2. John Cho as Sulu, and

3. POSSIBLY Chris Pine as Kirk.

Damnit, I was hoping Paul McGillion was going to be cast.

That I don't get.

Simon Pegg will I guess be fantastic or woefully miscast? Ambiguity!

Not only him but they got Sulu too...or did we already know that?

Yes. Well, we? The Sulu casting broke first, anyway.

And, maybe Karl Urban as McCoy. Hmm.

I wonder how much will leak about this film? They're building sets now, so presumably the look of the film has already been decided. Is it gonna be classic Trek models, sets and costumes, or will they update it subtly to avoid the more dated-looking elements? Given no-one really knows what Abrams' next film Cloverfield/1-18-08 is about yet, they could well be able to keep a lid on this one as well. . .

In the past Paramount's Star Trek marketing hasn't really consisted of much beyond the official party organs, has it? But I wouldn't be surprised, considering the parties involved, to see some sort of trendy slow-burn viral thing. Solve a puzzle and see a blurry photo of a new old new uniform.

The only role I've ever seen him in is as the youngest Tremor brother in Smokin' Aces. Which isn't exactly a good measure of his acting talent, y'know. I'll withhold judgment on this one.
