Is Urban Trek's New Bones?
Ain't It Cool News reported that New Zealand actor Karl Urban (Doom, The Lord of the Rings) will play Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek. The role was played by DeForest Kelley in the original Star Trek TV show and subsequent films.
The report, based on an anonymous source, appears to confirm a rumor earlier reported on TrekMovie.com.
If it's true, Urban would become the latest young actor to join the film's reported cast, which features Chris Pine as Capt. James T. Kirk and Heroes' Zachary Quinto as Spock. The cast also includes Eric Bana, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana and John Cho, as well as original Spock Leonard Nimoy.
Star Trek will begin production next month with an eye to a Christmas 2008 release.
--------------------
They'll finally, after 44 years, have an Aussie in Trek?
My bet is Bana gets to fake an American accent again. *eyeroll*
Wouldn't fucking surprise me.
