New Star Trek Movie Details
January 18, 2008 by Jeanne
The new "Star Trek" movie will be hitting theaters on December 25, 2008 and now we’re getting our first look at the USS Enterprise. Any other Trekkies out there feeling warm and fuzzy? I know I am! I was in Las Vegas recently and was fortunate enough to go to the "Star Trek Experience." It just made this new movie (the first in 6 years) even more exciting!
JJ Abrams the man behind the hit television show, "Lost" is bringing the 11th installment of the "Star Trek" series to the big screen. There’s already been some casting news. I know that Eric Bana ("Munich") is being brought in as a villian and Winona Ryder will be playing Spock’s mother.
Here are some side-by-side comparisons between the new and original cast for the major roles (for even more information, visit the official Star Trek site!).
Chris Pine vs. William Shatner as Captain Kirk
More after the jump!
Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy as Spock
Karl Urban vs. DeForest Kelley as Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Simon Pegg vs. James Doohan as Scotty
John Cho vs. George Takei as Lt. Hikaru Sulu
Anton Yelchin vs. Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov
Zoe Saldana vs. Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura
I am excited that Star Trek hasn’t died. I’v been a Star Trek fan since
I was a kid. I hope this brings out a
new TV searies.
