Mission: Impossible III director and Alias creator
J.J. Abrams resurrects the classic science fiction
franchise created by Gene Roddenberry with this
feature film that embraces the rich history of the
influential television and film series while also
exploring some uncharted territory. Heroes star
Zachary Quinto assumes the role of the Federation
Starfleet lieutenant and Vulcan made famous in the
original series by Leonard Nimoy (who also appears
in an older incarnation of his original role),
Spock, with Anton Yelchin stepping into the role of
USS Enterprise navigator Pavel Chekov, Zoe Saldana
assuming the role of communications officer Uhura,
Simon Pegg keeping the ship in top shape as chief
engineer Montgomery Scott (aka "Scotty"), and Eric
Bana tormenting the benevolent space explorers as
the villainous Nero. Harold and Kumar Go to White
Castle co-star John Cho also boards the Enterprise
as Hikaru Sulu, with Chris Pine and Karl Urban
assuming the legendary roles of Captain Kirk and
Leonard "Bones" McCoy, respectively. ~ Jason
