They're hiring little people!

[Dale]

I am surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but Star Trek is hiring little people... dwarves, midgets and the like for shooting this March. What does this mean? Is it the return of the little gold guys from "Journey to Babel?" Ferengi? Some other sort of aliens? Abrams has said he wants the aliens in this movie to be more dramatically alien... so what sort of creatures can we expect these little people to portray?

That would be interesting, if true. Got Link?

Yay, I was hoping for Ithenites. :thumbsup:

 

[Dale]

I have always had this personal theroy that the Ithenites, based on their odd coloration, flashy clothing and greedy behavior at the buffet, were the seed for the creation of the Ferengi.

Okay then. Wonder what their role will be...

They (the Ithenites) don't look very dangerous but neither did the Packleds.

They must be diplomats, no one could stay angry with them around.

I'm thinkin' Ewoks.

 

[Mr. Open Minded]

i thought of the race that Picard was hosting a party for in Insurrection. They were short weren't they ?

 

[Aragorn]

The Ewoks are the real force behind the Dominion.

The Tellarites are four feet tall in a few of the books.

Well, it better not.

Joke all you want about imaginary small scifi characters...but let's not have any jokes about small people, please. My PM box can't handle the action.

Maybe we'll finally get the long-awaited return to Platonius in the section dealing with the Five-Year-Mission.

They could do a big Yub Yub number at the end when the Romulan Empire is defeated.

Right, I was watching Showbiz India last Saturday and they interviewed Deep Roy, the little guy who played the Oompa-Loompa in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. He said he had a role in Star Trek, that he finishes filming in March and he was very, very adamant about how he "can't talk about the role."

The First Federation, Balok's people.

My little brother went to a daycare called Academy For Little People... Maybe there's a Starfleet version?
