Who gets billing?

[RobertScorpio]

I wonder if it will be the old 'alphabetical' billing, or will it go by so called star power? And will Nimoy get the last card "Special Guest Star" or does he get "and Lenoard Nimoy" at the end...

I think Quinto might get billing over Chris Pine...but who knows.

Then again they could save the credits until the end and, as I said, do the 'starring in order of appearence" thing...

I expect Winona Rider to get third or fourth billing after Pine and Quinto and maybe Urban, she's not the star of the movie but too well known to be billed after the rest of the crew. Nimoy will almost definitely get the "and ..." spot at the end of the credits.

I had thought about Winona...but if she just has a 'bit' part, I am not so sure how high up the chain she will be...she might get a 'with' right above Nimoy's 'and'..

And then there's always shatner's cameo..so you never know (wink wink)

I bet she ends up stealing the show.

I know it's unlikely, but I really hope Nimoy gets top billing.

He better not, this isn't his movie.

Abrams - Pine, Quinto, Urban, Pegg.... then the rest + Wynona + Nimoy at the end

It pretty much comes down to what contracts demand, but Nimoy will most certainly have a standalone credit at the end, be it at the top or bottom of the film.

Yep...I see it going that way as well..

So maybe she won't be billed after all.

Ten years from now John Cho is going to think he should be equally billed as Chris Pine.

LOL...you're probably right. I wonder if he has a 'closet' to come out of too???

Alphabetical, then "with Eric Bana" and "and Leonard Nimoy." Its how its listed in the trailers. Probably not gonna change.

Exactly. It's been alphabetical since day one. If it were going to change, it would've been done before the listing of the cast in the trailer. Very egalitarian, really.

More importantly, I wonder if she'll be able to resist the temptation to steel a bunch of Star Trek artifacts on her way out.
