So now that Eric Bana is the official bad guy......

Does anyone picture him as a Romulan?? He does seem to have a slender face, and I can see him as cool and calculated, unemotional with occasional outbursts. His Bruce Banner was very restrained and similar for the most part.

The other question is, can he bring people in the seats at the theater yet?? Well, I predicted $70-100 million extra gross for a big star, but in my opinion, he's probably not quite to the level of a Russel Crowe in draw. He HAS proven he can carry a major film though. And of course we need to ask if TOS fans approve (though they are honestly not the MAIN target of the movie).

I've never heard of him. When I looked him up on IMDB I noticed that his most recent completed project is called Romulus, My Father in which he plays Romulus. So he's got that going for him.


Edit: Ah, I see someone in the TrekXI thread on the subject has already pointed this out.

I never heard of him, so I cannot say either way.

He's actually the first cast member I've heard of. At least the villain will be good. :thumbsup:

Ordinarily I would just move this thread over to the Trek XI forum (since the topic is strictly about that). But since there's already a far more active thread already open there, I'll just close this one and direct all of you to it.
