 Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:00 pm Post subject: New Trek movie: Sylar as Spock! |
 |
|
Fresh outta ComiCon: the dude who plays Sylar on Heroes is to be our new Spock. This is seemingly logical to all involved. (He's a tall, lanky sort who frowns well and probably will look dandy with pointy ears.) What's buggin me is ... what is this new movie about that it will sport New Spock (this Zach Quinto dude) and Old Spock (Leonard, he of the we-shan't-discuss-it Bilbo Baggins song) and no DS9 goodies for the uber dork geeks like me?!
Surely someone here knows more about this new ST venture than I do.
Or you can comment on Zach Quinto's relative hawtness, real or imagined. |

Maybe they are doing a prequel of some sort? Sounds interesting though...I enjoyed the Star Trek films.

Hmmm, it hit the news a few months back, but lets bring you up to speed quickly!
(I re-sized this one because the poster was huge)
To quote from this article:
| Quote: | | So what, exactly, will be the plot? Early reports (like this one in Variety) said that it will focus on the young, post-Starfleet Academy days of James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, but Abrams wouldn't specify. Still, he assured us it's a story that even non-Trekkers can enjoy. ''On the one hand, for people who love Star Trek, the fix that they will get will be really satisfying,'' he says. ''For people who've never seen it or know it vaguely, I think they will enjoy it equally, because the movie does not require you to know anything about Star Trek. I would actually prefer [that] people don't know the series, because I feel like they will come to it with an open mind.'' |
SHOCK! JJ Abrams Directing STAR TREK reboot! Really?
Trekkies have a new leader
Looks around for more AICN articles:
News of two days ago: Yes, But Can He Scream?? Russian Born Actor To Be JJ's New Chekov!!
Some Confirmed Details On The Casting For The New JJ Abrams STAR TREK! (with castin profiles)
No Kirk For You!! Mr. Ears Instead!!

And of course the section at Startrek.com
Another good overview of newsbits at Trekmovie.com.
Happy reading!

I've been keeping upon this since over a year ago when they announced the rumor of JJ Abrams as well as the Early Spock and Kirk years being the plot.
Sorry, Rhaps, but I dislike the thought of Damon even being considered! It was worse that they even mentioned Ben Affleck in the same breath. *gags*
I'm actually rather intrigued about Quinto playing Spock. He and Nimoy have a very similar "look" and facial structure that he could pull off a young Spock.
Also, Nimoy supposedly has seen parts of the script since he is going to be in the movie as well and apparently thinks it is great, which is saying a lot because he can be awfully picky and critical when it comes to screenplays (thus the reason ST: IV - THe Voyage Home was such a hit).
People are already doing screenshots and manips fo Quinto as Spock on LJ... as such from one of the icons I use/borrowed (made by a gal named mrs_spock):

I know, but I liked the idea immediately. That guy is such a great actor.

Yeps, I agree! For the rest he's unknown to me, but when I saw images of him I thought: oh that's spot on!

Well That's promising!

| I'm with ya on the Matt Damon as Kirk being kinda iffy. I agree with JJ that he's a little old to be "just out of the academy." But who else could possibly pull off the combo of macho and "I feel pretty" that is James T? |

well a lot of people have been calling for actors who arent as well-known but definitely up and coming in their career... which I guess could be said about Quinto since he is popular but isn't a huge movie name like Matt Damon. I've pondered a few ideas but none seem to really work for me or give a good vibe... the search is on.
Initial reports brought up Gary Sinise as McCoy... which really I could go for because they have a similar look and voice.
All in all though, I'm not too keen on the Academy plot but a lot of people are starting to think it might actually be the last years of the five year mission that TOS didn't cover. but who knows for sure....

Isn't it? I absolutely loved it when I saw mrs_spock post it in an LJ community. she had a bunch of others but this one was my favorite.
