One thing I'll say about this new Star Trek XI movie is that the casting should seem obvious for J.J. Abrams and the other people involved in this. Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin on Abrams's
Lost, would make a perfect Sulu. And if anyone has been watching recent episodes of
Heroes, Zachary Quinto (who plays Sylar) has been interested in playing Spock, which would be a perfect role for him.
If they cast unknowns, then I'll be a little disappointed. Then again, the great special effects that the film
will have could make up for it.
