STAR TREK XI CASTING RUMORS

Thought I'd post the latest casting rumors on JJ Abram's upcoming STAR TREK prequel. IGN is reporting their insider(s) are saying the roles of KIRK, SPOCK, McCOY and SULU may be none other than MATT DAMON, ADRIEN BRODY, GARY SINISE and DANIEL DAE KIM (Lost). I'll go with em, seeing as I don't think this prequel should be made with those characters. Sorry, its just that Kirk &Crew are those original actors. Its a simple as that. I'd rather see a "prequel" showing CAPTAIN PIKE, and keep the design in realm with the original show; same costumes, ship, etc... albeit with some more budget... but still staying true to that look. And while I'm on a roll here, I plead to JJ to please remember that Star Trek is about SCIENCE and IMAGINATION. It's not about sexiness and action. While it can have those elements, at the forefront its about a SCIENCE vessel exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, and boldly going where no one has gone before - something the later ST incarnations forgot.

SCIENCE.
IMAGINATION.

Anyway, that's the latest casting choice rumors and it could be worse,
so whatever.

*apologies, I wanted to post this earlier today, but was too busy. Plus it takes time to find those "perfect" images and put together. No one appreciates the art of JimSmash. heh.

Hey! The original Sulu guy was on Heroes a couple of weeks ago. The license plate on his limo was NCC-1701! Just FYI! I thought it was cute.
