Diane Carey, actually.
Chris Hemsworth is [NOT!] Sarek
- Thread starter Cranston
- Start date
How many characters are going to be IN this frakkin' thing?!? 
This better be a joke. I haven't checked the rest of the forum yet.
That role belongs to Ellen Green!

You know the rules... pic pic pic.
Sarek shouldn't be hot- The Young George Washington looked like a Young Mel Gibson, ie S T U D.
Why can't historical figures be HOT?

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
Nah, Sarek should be played by Keanu Reeves or Nic Cage.

Yeah, it probably is in a flashback capacity; especially since Abrams' style often involves crosscutting between present and past events that all seem to tie into the overall plot.

Coincidentally, Kirk's mother appears to have been called Winona Kirk.
It looks like the only reference in TOS is the Tarsus IV thing. I guess "canon" is pretty sparse in this area.

I always thought Adrian Pasdar would make a good Sarek.

He's a blond muscley Australian actor who recently went to the US to try his luck in Hollywood. Won a Best New Talent (Australian) Logie Award in 2005. Solid Kirk-family qualities.

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
I knew there was something wrong with this idea....
So I'm guessing Spock's parents knew Kirk's parents? or what?? Ryder is ok for Spock's mum and this Aussie guy is ok for Kirk's dad if during that time K&S at most toddlers... So we'll have 3 Spocks? Who will play the youngest one?

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
However do you extrapolate that with any conviction? Just relax and enjoy the wait.
We had five in "ST III" and three in "Yesteryear" (TAS). So what?

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
Actually, this guy looks more like a young William Shatner than Chris Pine does, IMHO. Time for some role-swapping?!
Given that he's younger than Pine (outdoing even the casting of Winona Ryder as the mother of the 7-years-younger Zach Quinto), I assume that his role will be in flashback, a la Thomas Wayne in Batman Begins or Jonathan Archer's father in Broken Bow. Seems a good bet, given Abrams' penchant for time-juggling in Lost and MI:3.
With at least 3 time periods (old Spock's time, young Kirk & Spock's time and, er, really young Kirk & Spock's time) his movie is really beginning to say 'EPIC'! Can't wait!

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
If they do something about his height, that's a great idea.
Also will be amusingly weird for Heroes fans. Especially if Milo shows up as a Romulan.

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
But, sadly, no acting qualities - he was in the trashiest of trashy Australian television programs. They can find blond, muscley prettyboys anywhere...it's Hollywood for goodness' sake. And I really don't want to see Hemsworth try to do an American accent.

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
Who says Kirk's father is American? We only know that Kirk himself is from Iowa.

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
I've never regarded the long-lasting "Home and Away" to be "trashy". It's a prime time soap opera, sure, but the truly trashy stuff tends to be a flash in the pan.
Chris Hemsworth did a good job of playing a boofheaded muscley surfer, but I haven't seen him do anything else. Except I know that he managed to charm the judges and audience of "Dancing With the Stars", week after week, so he's not that bad.
And he's managed to win the ST audition with JJ. So he obviously has something going for him; unless you wish to imply "casting couch" rumours.
And Hemsworth won over all of them. Onya Chris!
Kirk's Dad was definitely American? Do we know that? Nope.
Where's your sense of pride in a fellow Australian making into Star Trek?

Re: Chris Hemsworth is Sarek
^ The vast majority of Aussie actors that get cast in US productions are forced to conceal their Australian accents...Rachel Taylor (who is from my hometown) in Transformers being a notable, recent exception.
The mere fact that an Australian actor has been given a role in a Trek production is not enough to make me proud. Since a great Australian, Eric Bana, has already been cast in this film, it's hard to get excited by a guy who played a character I don't like in a show I can't stand and who wouldn't be out of place modelling boxerbriefs in a Best & Less catalogue.
