I agree with spock/uhura fan.

I hope Zachary doesnt get recast,he was the one that looked the part the most. I really hope all is well him and the cast.

Thank you, serenity. Yes, I hope the entire cast stays as they are, but especially Zachary.

Yep, Keesner. I think I read somewhere that he's a superstar in India. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Roy

Not so sure about the "superstar in India" part. He's of Indian ancestry, but he's an English citizen, born to parents who had emigrated to Kenya. Nearly all of his credits seem to have been in Western film and television.

My brain is probably mashing him up with something I read about someone else, then.

[teacake]

eh, he won't be Spock forever and even though I think it's the best casting in the history of the universe I accept that there may be another Spock some time. But really I would rather we got this one for the next two movies.

Some day we may be having threads about who's your favorite Spock like with Doctor Who

Just to put things in perspective, remember that THE WRATH OF KHAN was supposed to be Nimoy's swan song as Spock.

And THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY . . . .

And "Unification" . . . .

For all we know, an eighty-year-old Quinto will someday be playing Spock Prime 2.0 in the blockbuster reboot 2009's STAR TREK.

Well, let's see how he feels in 2016 or so when they sit down and start talking about making a third film in the JJverse. When it starts filming in 2017/2018 maybe he'll be ready to play the role again.

Deep Roy played the Oompa-Loompas (all of them) in the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[M'Sharak]

That he did - 165 separate performances.

Zach Quinto will be 86 years old during "First Contact Year" (2063).
It would be fitting if they make a Star Trek Movie that year (perhaps there may still be a few people around who care), and it would be fitting if Quinto plays "Old Spock".

EDIT TO ADD:
I'll be 98 years old, and I'll see it if they make it (I hear "98 will be the new 68" by that time ).

Even tho he's a "different" Spock, they've already played the Spock-Dies card. I think he's safe, ditto for Kirk, they will both do all three movies.

If anyone among the regular cast should worry, it's Uhura. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see her die in this upcoming movie. If McCoy gets more development in the next movie than he did in the last, he's also in danger for #3, although that's more of a long shot. Right now, he's too peripheral to bother killing.

Ideally, CBS will pick a few of the cast who are willing to do TV for a live action series to launch a few months after the third movie. That means Spock and Sulu, maybe McCoy, the others are unlikely. They might just need one to provide the PR boost for a show starring an all new cast of characters.

If they kill off Uhura, Trek becomes a total sausage fest. Not gonna happen! (unless they bump Alice Eve's maybe Dr. Dehner up in her place?)

I see your point, I made a comment in another thread where I said Uhura might play an important role in the new film as she gets her own comic cover in the upcoming countdown series . I just guessed Cummberbatch’s character will break her arms.

However she could go out Jean Grey Style in X-Men 2 and then come back in the last film and be all psycho.
