New Trek Film

leowyatt · 12-10-2007, 18:43

Didn't know anything about this film until now, but have just seen that Simon Pegg has been cast as Scotty

how ace is that!!!

Rest of the cast are;

Eric Bana - villan
Anton Yelchin - Chekov (I think this actor was in Disturbia)
Zachary Quinto - young Spock
Zoe Saldan - Uhura
Leonard Nimoy - older Spock
Chris Pine - Kirk

It's an odd number film isn't it?

Therefore it's expected to be rubbish. Can't imagine Pegg in that role at all.

Hoping that this film breaks the odd number curse. I'm trying to imagine a thin Scotty

In my reckoning the whole odd/even curse went out the window with the abortion that was Nemesis. It could have been very cool but they somehow cut out all the dialog, character development, and plot in favor or more fiery explosions. Sure it'd have been three hours long but at least it would've done justice to the franchise and the TNG cast.

Sylar = Spock hmmm

Shaun as Scotty..

Neither really work for me I must admit.

I'm putting a fiver on it being crap.

It'll be different, but nice to get some new trek. I don't care how rubbish people thought Enterprise was it was still trek related entertainment which I miss a lot. Still over a year until this is released and to be honest I can't wait!

Oh dear God I've just admitted I'm a trek fan on a community forum.

Don't worry - there are a couple of us here

I just went thru IMDB and as many of them haven't been in a great deal, I went by photos and just did "can I imagine them playing the part" and the only one who didn't fit was Pegg as Scotty - yes I know in the original series Scotty was always the one who made the most jokes but I just still can't fit Pegg into that role.

I wasn't that impressed with S1 and S2 of Enterprise but I thought S3 was excellent and S4 nearly as good. Wish it had been given a full 7 series run so that they could do the whole birth of the Federation thing properly and tie up the time war.
