Casting ideas?/So let's cast a few more characters!

GARY MITCHELL: Ashton Kutcher :lol:
 
Re: So let's cast a few more characters!

Rand was intended to be older, perhaps the same age as Kirk, and was meant to be a confidant for Spock. And remember, Grace Lee Whitney is actually older than Shatner is. Thus, a better choice for Rand would be Emily Procter (she's a little old, actually), or Ali Larter.
 
Re: So let's cast a few more characters!

Was she? I would think she was meant to be younger, probably in her twenties like Colt or Smith.
 
Re: So let's cast a few more characters!

I love how Abrams casts relative unknowns for many of his projects. Its really exciting to not know the actor and have less judgements about their performance coming in. Which is why I intend on being Chapel or Rand in the next movie.

Either role would be amazing, and Im interested to see how much they include of them in the next one. (If they have both of them or just choose one to add to the cast.) There wasn't much female interaction in the current movie. Which worked quite well, and I enjoyed, but Uhura needs some support!

Nurse Chapel: Elizabeth Mitchell (I favor the image of her as the seasoned professional)

Khan (if they go that route): Naveen Andrews

And Rosario Dawson as an ass-kicking Klingon.
 
Re: So let's cast a few more characters!

Robert Downey Jr. as Sybok or Kor and Mickey Rourke as Garth of Izar.

GARY MITCHELL: Ashton Kutcher :lol:


And we have a winner! :guffaw:

Let's face it...with the tastes of modern Hollywood and the fact that Kutcher and Lockwood(circa 1965)have a few passing facial resemblances between them I could see Paramount wanting someone like Kutcher to play Gary Mitchell in a future/the next movie. He'd appeal to Gen X viewers and knowing some people in the studio they'd probably think he and Chris Pine would make a perfect young duo to pal around on-screen.:lol:

You're right. Now we only need a role for Megan Fox.

Hippie Girl #2 (the one with no lines) in the inevitable reimagining of "The Way to Eden". Could probably be done as a subplot or in flashbacks.

You've got my vote.

There is going to be a vote, right?
 
Re: So let's cast a few more characters!

Oh I love it. All the more reason to hate the episode.... and the bird.

We need a Justin Timberlake cameo. He's had one in Star Wars, after all.

Oh, and Megan Fox cought catfight Angelina Jolie. :p
