OT: Star Trek Movie (XI)

[Atrocities]

"Romulus, My Father"
the Title.

Well they have the principle cast cast.

Sorry no Gary or Matt.

The Cast

It is rumored that the movie will be a remake of Balance Of Terror. This is supported by the fact that Eric Bana will be playing the Romulan Praetor Nero.

I was hoping that Thomas Jane would have gotten the part of Kirk, but they felt he looked too old. (BS in my opinon.)

Gary Sinise would have made an ideal McCoy but he wanted to much money. Instead the part went to LOTR actor Karl Urban. I am ok with this choice but I do wonder how he is going to adapt his native kiwi accent to that of a souther gentleman's?

The choice for Spock was spot on "nailed it" , and other cast say for Scotty, I would have rather seen Paul McGillion get that part, but he just didn't know the right people, seem to be all good ones. (Paul McGillion did read for the part, but lost it to Simon Pegg.)

Bruce Greenwood Cast as Christopher Pike over Tom Cruise, THANK YOU GOD!

It is going to be good to see a TOS movie made. I loved the original series and still do to this day. With the remastered episodes the series doesn't look so dated. To bad the remastered version don't have the full run time as the originals. The originals were 49 to 52 minutes long, the new version are about 40 to 41 minutes. Cut Cut Cut... damn bean counters should all go to hell.

On a personal note, I am jealous of all of these people. I spent my life watching Star Trek, and here they are making a movie about that series and I am older than most of the cast! What the HELL MAN! Hell most of them weren't even born until AFTER Star Trek The Motion Picture! WTH MAN!
