[soundboy]

As you guys/gals know, there will be a new Star Trek film under the direction of JJ Abrams. Of course, Shatner is out and Nimoy is in for the new film. Anyway, here's the news....

Winona Ryder joins cast of next Star Trek film (http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20071109/en_movies_eo/7e59fe7e_fba04c11_bd87_d487ba441f94;_ylt =AsTnxhdKD68_ctGaUsXPlShxFb8C)

:) This is very interesting casting as J.J. Abrams & Paramount try to reboot the Star Trek franchise with fresh faces in iconic roles going back four decades. I hope it works, as Star Trek could use a fresh perspective on Gene Roddenberry's original vision!

Huh? Spock's mother was human. Are they willing to mess with the whole mythos just to put Winona Ryder in pointy ears? :thumbsdn:

I believe that "Vulcan Mother" bit in the announcement was a publicist's typo!!! At least I hope so!!!:righton: :laugh:

Who's playing the young Nurse Chapel?

[lukejosephchung]

Whoever plays Nurse Christine Chapel, I hope she's as hot looking as Majel Barrett Roddenberry was in the original series!:pineapple:

I don't think so. There was reference to the controversy in the article.

Just a typo. Panic not:
(The Variety.com article states that Ryder will play "the Vulcan mother of Spock," but this error was corrected in the print version of Daily Variety this morning.)

I wonder what her 'method acting' for this role will require? She shoplifted previously for a role (her defence, apparently), so...

;)

Ryder does it for me so the more of her the better.BTW,pics!

You gotta say Winona has aged very well. Still a great looking girl.
