Sylar to play Spock in JJ Abrams' Star Trek re-make!

[Ranger REG]

I thought he was better with Chris O'Donnell because as you said Val Kilmer seemed to young.

Yeah. Young enough to be Robin while Chris can be Batman.

If Val Kilmer work for law enforcement, he can be the perfect narc (along with Johnny Depp in 21 Jumpstreet).

Really? Where were they when Scott Baird took the job helming Star Trek: Nemesis?

:\

Where were they when the Shat helmed Star Trek V: The Final Frontier?

Which only goes to prove that even with help crap can still be made.

Speaking of help, JJ Abrams is about to make his first biggest mistake in Trek film history, if the rumor is true:

He's wooing Tom Cruise to play Christopher Pike.

Actually I can see that. It makes me fel just a litle bit better hearing that he is going to have Christopher Pike in the movie after all he was Spock's first captain.

I don't dislike Tom Cruise I have enjoyed most of his movies and I tune out his real life stuff when I go to see one of his movies.

Actually I can see that.

I can't. Besides, he's too short to be Pike. JJ is better off casting Katie Holmes.

I swear, I'd dress Tom up as Sonny Bono, or one of them Sackville-Baggins hobbit.

Little bit o' thread resurrection right here, but I thought I'd interest all of you in this:

Take note that this is indeed the confirmed cast for the new Star Trek film. While I do have some reservations on some of the choices (Chris Pine as Kirk? Having not really seen this guy's work I can't really say I'm sold), I must admit overall that is some inspired casting on the producers part (Zoe Saldana! Bruce Greenwood as Pike? Brilliant! And Winona Ryder as Spock's mom? This I gotta see!).

But oh, such a long wait. Stardate 12.25.08 can't come fast enough.

He has the eyes and chin. He needs to lighten (and thin) his brows. He and the cast could pulled it off if they go to boot camp with the US Navy and NASA.

I see Jennifer as a Romulan (though I will dream of her as my Klingon lover).

I see Rachel as Christine Chapel.

I'd rather she play Janice Rand, one of my favorite supporting characters from TOS. It's too bad Grace Lee Whitney was fired during the first season. But then again, after what happened to her back then(being sexually assaulted by some sleazy ass TV exec), perhaps her being sacked was a blessing.

I see Rachel as Christine Chapel.

Oooooh... Nurse Chapel. Another fave. Despite the fact that she was Gene Roddenberry's wife, I always thought Majel Barret played this character very well.

At least they brought her back into the fold, last seen on Captain Sulu's ship, USS Excelsior on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and a part of Voyager episode, where Tuvok once served under Captain Sulu.

I'd liked her better as raven-haired Number One in the pilot Kirk-free episode, "The Cage."

Thanks for the update! I think some of the casting choices are inspired. Still not sure about the Kirk thing which could make or break the show.
