The teaser trailer for Star Trek XI is out on the apple website now. IMDB also has a lot more casting details than the last time I looked.

Captain Kirk will be played by Chris Pine (never heard of him, but he looks right)

Uhura will be played by Zoe Saldana (never heard of her, but she looks right)

Bones will be played by Karl Urban, who played Eomer in Lord of the Rings.




And now the real reason why I'm now stoked to see this movie...

Sulu: John Cho. You know, Harold, from Harold and Kumar.

Scotty: Simon Pegg. That's right. I almost died laughing. Screw the rest of the movie, I want the adventures of Sulu and Scotty played by John Cho and Simon Pegg.

I really hope that the people who make this movie don't try to make it too serious or AWEXXXOME!!!, because that would spoil the fun.

Either way, I have to wait untill December. In the mean time, why not entertain yourself with this image.

Jenn and I were watching Star Trek TNG the other day, and one of the episodes we watched was "Lonely Among Us". In it there's a bit where Captain Picard gets posessed and starts acting strangely. The way Patrick Stewart chose to portray Picard acting strangely was with untimely pauses, odd word emphasis, and posed, cocky body language. In other words, he appeared to be doing an impression of William Shatner playing Captain Kirk. I'm wondering if it was deliberate.

Jenn and I recieved two DVD sets for our wedding. One was Star Trek TNG, another was the LOTR extended box set. I've noticed that klingons and dwarves have similar fashion sense in terms of scale mail and long curly hair styles. This makes me wonder, do dwarven women have a fashion sense similar to klingon women, with the fishnet sleeves and leggings, and cleavage exposing armour?
