....Cos the suits think that if it worked once then it might work again. Which is sad - but its why we get all these movie remakes.

You're right. It's really sick how there is such a lack of imaginaion out in tinsle town. And some yahoo coopting Roddenberry's body of work by "re-imagination" and posts it this board asking for approval. Makes me shake my head and spit on the ground.

Here's the cast of the new Trek movie:

* James Kirk - Chris Pine
* Spock (young) - Zachary Quinto
* Dr. Leonard McCoy - Karl Urban
* Montgomery Scott - Simon Pegg
* Pavel Chekov - Anton Yelchin
* Uhura - Zoë Saldaña
* Hikaru Sulu - John Cho
* Nero (the film's villain) - Eric Bana
* Spock (older) - Leonard Nimoy

The latest news is that Josh Lucas (Stealth) is in talks to play Captain Christopher Pike.

Pike is in command at the start of this movie, with Kirk taking command of the Enterprise by the end of the film.

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

I got a laugh out of William Shatner's recent comments regarding the fact he isn't in the new film. He actually believes that "his" fan-base is going to determine whether the film is a success or not?
I love him on Boston Legal, but the fact remains that Kirk died in Star Trek: Generations. To bring him back (like they did with Spock) would require a substantial amount of timing in the plot...and that doesn't seem to fit in with where this new film is going.
I would actually like to see more with CPT Pike in command and the female Number Two before Kirk takes over and Spock becomes First Officer.

I agree in part with what you are saying, but if you check the Trek fan boards, a lot of fans feel strongly about "The Shat" not being in the movie.

Nimoy is popular, but he's been out of the spotlight for years now, while Shatner is still very visable and popular with non Trek fans. He's got a hit series and he's won two Emmys! Having Shatner attached could potentially bring in casual fans, and as we know, the hardcore fan base just isn't enough these days to assure any follow ups! Shatner might be right.

oooh, oooh, oooh....I hope they have scary aliens with two heads & laser rifles that are powered by living parasites. I hope they have lots of references to starboard nacells, warp inducers, plasma relays, and deflector dish tachyon pulses....'cause that's real science fiction, don't cha know. I do like Eric Bana. He could be effective if they have a decent script, but somehow I doubt it.
