Shaun of the Trekkies?

As most of you know, I'm not a big Trek fan. Goes back to that whole "science fantasy" crap. However, I might just be down for the new Trek movie coming out next Christmas. And why is that you ask? Very simple, Simon Pegg as Scotty. F'ing A! This is just about the only thing that could get me out to see this thing. It's just brilliant.

But what about the rest, you ask? Well, if you're a big fan, you probably already know most of these, but for those who aren't... here's how it breaks down.


Chris Pine as James Kirk


Zachary Quinto as Spock (is that his first or last name? Educate me Trekkies!)


Karl Urban as Leonard McCoy


Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott


Anton Yelchin as Chekov


Zoe Saldana as Nyota(?) Uhura


John Cho as Hikaru Sulu


Eric Bana as Nero (Villian)

I also am told that Leonard Nimoy will portray Spock as well, so this will probably be some sort of flashback or the like. Filming for the much anticipated film is supposed to start next month at the Paramount studios, but will also film for two weeks in some ice bound European country. I don't remember which, sorry. I also want to the thank the good people over at dtheatre.com, where I totally stole these side by side pictures from. I'm sorry, but they were just too cool. Except for that one of Eric Bana, that's from my personal collection.
