• Description : Star Trek is a science fiction film...(more) directed by J. J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is the eleventh Star Trek film and a prequel to The Original Series, featuring all of the main characters, portrayed by a new cast. Leonard Nimoy reprises his role as the older Spock, who meets himself via time travel,[5] and Eric Bana appears as the rogue Romulan Nero. The film is scheduled to be released on May 8, 2009 in North America and the United Kingdom. Cast * Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. The actor dropped out of starring in a film adaptation of White Jazz to take on the role.[6] Pine said he wanted to evoke Kirk's characteristics, but not completely replicate William Shatner's performances.[7] He also cited Harrison Ford's performances as Han Solo and Indiana Jones as an inspiration because of his "absolute grumpy manner; the accidental hero. Not to say that I modeled my version of James T. Kirk on anything in particular but I think I definitely have wanted to bring that kind of Harrison Ford humor to Kirk."[8] Before Pine was officially cast in the role, it had been widely rumored that Matt Damon would play Kirk in the movie. Damon, upon hearing the rumors (including William Shatner giving him a "seal of approval" for the role)[9] contacted Abrams to ascertain the truth, only to be told that the Kirk in the film was a younger man and he was "too old" for the part.[10][11] Damon commented that if sequels are made featuring an older Kirk than portrayed by Pine, he would be interested in playing the role.[9] o Jimmy Bennett plays James Kirk as a boy.[12] * Zachary Quinto as Spock. * Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Like Pine, Urban said of taking on the role that "it is a case of not doing some sort of facsimile or carbon copy, but really taking the very essence of what DeForest [Kelley] has done and honoring that and bringing something new to the table". Urban has been a fan of the show since he was seven years old and actively pursued the role.[21] * Simon Pegg as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. To perform Scotty's accent, Pegg was assisted by his Scottish wife.[22] Paul McGillion auditioned for the role, and he impressed producers enough that he was given another role in the film.[23] o Chris Doohan, the son of the original Scotty, James Doohan, makes a cameo appearance in the transporter room. Pegg has e-mailed Doohan about the role, and the actor has promised him his performance "would be a complete tribute to his father".[22] Chris Doohan previously cameoed in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. * Zoe Saldana as Uhura. * John Cho as Hikaru Sulu. Abrams was concerned about casting a Korean-American as a Japanese-Filipino character, but George Takei explained to the director that Sulu was meant to represent all of Asia on the Enterprise, so Abrams went ahead with Cho.[25] Cho acknowledged being an Asian-American, "there are certain acting roles that you are never going to get, and one of them is playing a cowboy. [Playing Sulu] is a realization of that dream — going into space." He cited the masculinity of the character as being important to him, and spent two weeks fight training.[26] Cho suffered an injury to his wrist during filming, although a representative assured it was "no big deal".[27] James Kyson Lee was interested in the part, but because Quinto was cast as Spock, the producers of the TV show Heroes did not want to lose another cast member for three months.[28] * Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov * Eric Bana as Nero, the film's Romulan villain.[30] Bana compared his screentime to a cameo appearance, but said, "It's a really well-written script, great part. Couldn't say no. I don't actually look at the size of parts ever."[31] Bana is a fan of the franchise, since being "a huge Trekkie when I was a kid", and felt "if I get compared to any of [the classic villains], Ill be doing well". His scenes were shot later in principal photography.[32] * Clifton Collins, Jr. as General Ayel, Nero's henchman.[33] * Bruce Greenwood as Christopher Pike.[34] * Chris Hemsworth as George Samuel Kirk, Sr., Kirk's father.[34] * Jennifer Morrison as Winona Kirk, Kirk's mother.[35] * Brad William Henke as Frank, Kirk's abusive, alcoholic uncle.[36] * Spencer Daniels as George Samuel "Sam" Kirk, Jr., Kirk's older brother, who appears in a scene with Jimmy Bennett.[12] * Ben Cross as Sarek, Spock's father.[34] * Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson, Spock's mother.[34] * Greg Ellis as Chief Engineer Olsen.[37] * Faran Tahir as Federation Captain Rabu.[38] (less)
