www.mania.com/54407.htmlHere is the latest from J.J. Abrams. Captain Kirk is definitely in the film and things are moving toward actual shooting. I expect we'll learn soon who will make up the cast. I'll keep an eye out for more stuff.

FROM MANIA.COM
Cho as Sulu, Pegg as Scotty in STAR TREK
The actor has taken on flesh eating zombies at the Winchester in Shaun of the Dead. He fought toe-to-toe against the N.W.A in the "nicest town of England" in Hot Fuzz...Now, Simon Pegg will be in charge of "Giving it all he's got." for Captain Kirk in the next adaptation of STAR TREK, says Variety. The trade is reporting the genre actor known from Edgar Wright's two recent films will be slipping on the uniform as engineering expert Scotty in the forthcoming trek from director JJ Abrams.
Meanwhile, John Cho (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) has been cast as Sulu, says the Hollywood Reporter. The actor will be portraying the famed helmsman of the Enterprise.
Both Cho and Simon Pegg be joining fellow cast members Eric Bana (Villain Nero), Leonard Nimoy (Old Spock), Zachary Quinto (Young Spock), Anton Yelchin( Young Chekov) and Zoe Saldana (Young Uhura). Chris Pine has been offered the role of Captain Kirk but it has not yet been decided that he will play the part due to two choices, Star Trek or White Jazz.
STAR TREK hits theaters everywhere Christmas Day 2008.

I think he will make a good Scotty. Well, I don't know much about Pegg. I'd have to see something he's been in however I'm sure he has something or he wouldn't have been selected. We'll see. |

Yeah, I could see him as a young Scotty.
Dunno...don't exactly have high expectations of this though. Will wait for the DVD probably. ;D

Chris Pine is Kirk in STAR TREK
From Mania.com
One has to wonder how director Joe Carnahan feels about being snubbed twice by J.J Abrams. First, he had the directing gig set for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III only to lose the gig, something Abrams eventually was awarded from Paramount. Now, he has his lost the lead actor attached to his upcoming WHITE JAZZ film and why did he lose him? Because Chris Pine has opted out of the project and selected J.J Abrams' STAR TREK film instead, a project set to film at the same time as Carnahan's film. Joe has updated his blog letting the media know that Pine will indeed be suiting up as Captain Kirk in the next installment.
With this casting announcement, the cast is almost entirely set for JJ Abrams and producers Bryan Burk and Lindelof. Here's the official cast for the next film:
Chris Pine-Young Kirk
Zachary Quinto-Young Spock
Leonard Nimoy- Old Spock
Eric Bana-Nero
Simon Pegg-Young Scotty
Anton Yelchin-Young Chekov
Zoe Saldana-Young Uhura
John Cho-Young Sulu
Note to our readers: The rumor is still going strong on sites such as Trekmovie that Karl Urban will be playing "Young Bones" but this has yet to be confirmed by JJ Abrams, Paramount or any press release from Variety or Hollywood Reporter. Until it is confirmed, we have 3 major characters involved that need to be cast. Bones and Kirk's parents which will be involved in the film according to studio sources. Prduction will begin in November and last through March of 2008.
STAR TREK hits theaters Christmas Day 2008.
I guess I have to find out who the flip Chris Pine is. ;D
