“Heroes” star Zachary Quinto has indeed been cast as the new younger Mr. Spock for the upcoming eleventh film of the Star Trek franchise that currently has the working title of simply “Star Trek.”
This announcement was made by JJ Abrams himself last night at the Comic Con in San Diego, California. Paramount has been promising for weeks that some kind of important casting news for the new film would be coming out of the Con and now we have it.
Also, JJ indicated that apart from all the rumors being spouted everywhere, he does want William Shatner in this film, but he wants to ensure that the veteran actor’s appearance is done right and with all the dignity it deserves.
“We’re desperately trying to figure out how to fit Shatner, and it needs to be worthy of him and the movie,” stated Abrams to a full crowd of Con attendees on the first day of the event.
It was made official just weeks ago that the other tent-pole actor from the original series of Trek, Leonard Nimoy, who played the first Mr. Spock in all the original series episodes, including the first pilot and in six of the ten films, will be returning as the older Spock in this movie. Nimoy joined Abrams on the stage and indicated that he was pleased with the choice of Quinto as his new replacement stating that it was afterall, “logical.”
“He’s [Leonard] donning the ears one more time!” smiled Abrams.
Abrams also made it known to those on hand that the search for the actor to portray the younger Kirk is still underway.
Wow….thats excellent!
The original Star Trek series was kind of like a cross of the three sometimes four Musketeers , Paladin(kirk), Perry Mason(a large part of Spock), Jesus(the part of reasoning mastery over emotions displine of Spock),Banacheck(spelling error)as an detector of the mystery in some the episodes shared partly by all of the four main characters and of course the emotions were always exposed when needed as motives by the character of Dr McCoy. I hope someone can use this for writing an new character formula for further original Star Treks series of movies or series revival. There are so many possible reformulations of how the characters can slowly adopt parts of other characters view points only to discover that each of the rest of the characters have start reasoning a little like the old point a view of the single changing character. This would expose new facets of how the group of character reason together to conquer problems and what they feel, how they comfort each other and their ethical motives.
Good choice for Spock.
