About the new Star Trek trailer...

Choices for the characters are indeed, inspired. All new names, or relative unknowns in Hollywood except for Ryder and Bana, yet all are solid actors.

Chris Pine as James T. Kirk -- Pine is mostly known for his one-off TV appearances in various TV series, including CSI, ER, Six Feet Under, and more.

Zachary Quinto as Spock -- Quinto is best known as the psycho super-killer Sylar on Heroes.

Erica Bana as Nero -- we don't know who this Nero is, as he's not a regular Trek character, but Bana's known for his roles in Black Hawk Down and The Incredible Hulk, as well as roles in Munich and Troy.

Simon Pegg as Scotty -- inspired indeed. Simon Pegg is best known for "Shawn of the Dead", a Zombie movie spoof. Though he was actually in Band of Brothers.

Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson -- Amanda is Spock's human mother. Winona Ryder... she's always a bit "other worldly". :)

Zoe Saldana as Nyota Uhura -- young pretty black girls who can act seriously aren't that easy to find. Ms. Saldana is probably best known as Theresa in "Guess Who?", a new version of "Guess who's coming to dinner?" (originally starring Sidney Poyntier) opposite Ashton Kutchner. She also guest-starred on various crime TV stuff.

Karl Urban as Leonard 'Bones' McCoy -- hmmm... Honestly, Mr. Urban mainly act as the foil or as minor characters in movies, such as Doom and Resident Evil. Though he also played Eomer in LOTR movies. As our beloved "Bones"? We shall see.

John Cho as Hikaru Sulu -- Cho as best known as "Harold" as half of the "Harold and Kumar" duo in two movies. I'm sure he CAN act, question is "how seriously"?

Not as critique, but this crew is certainly prettier than the original. :D
