WHO is doing this?

 

[Kegek]

If this is:

1. A fan film, it belongs in Fan Productions.
2. The Abrams film, it belongs in Star Trek XI.
3. An old casting sheet from one of the first ten movies, it belongs here but please give a little context.

Thank you.

Dangit, too bad I don't live in California!! I'm athletic and I know how to march!!! But don't touch my eyebrows!!! Can you imagine going around life with scary eyebrows because they grew back weird after being shaved for a Trek film!! I was in the background on the big screen for one second and have the crazy eyebrows to prove it!

Can't, he's over 70.

There are some clues in the casting call. First, it sounds like they're looking for a bunch of cadets. That means some academy scenes (cue Star Trek 90210 comments). Second, it sounds like they're looking for a lot of Vulcans... that means spending some time on Vulcan... since as we well know there was only one Vulcan in Starfleet back in the day. Third, there will be multiple alien races represented since they're looking for freaky facial types. Fourth, No Fat Chicks (or Dudes)! Apparently, everyone in the future is in good shape!

That's par for the course in movies, isn't it, save for Will Farrel and Jabba the Hut?

 

[CaptainDonovin]

I'd be perfect if they were looking for someone to play a Tellarite.

 

[Akiraprise]

Wish I could go, but they wouldn't want me anyway. I'm not thin. Not Shatner fat but Spandex clothes probably don't look the best on me.

Good luck to anyone going.
