No idea who she is but she's hot. 
This works.

yup for sure! Sharr
She even looks good wearing the hardware:
Yep, She'll do just fine.

I thought it was interesting that the story directly beneath the Saldana story on trekmovie.com was about Anton Yelchin. He seemed to be confirming the fact he was definitely playing Chekov. Maybe I missed something, but wasn't that still an unconfirmed rumor??
Although I appreciate when people refer to material on TrekMovie.com, it is not OK to just copy/paste articles...and especially not without a link. Feel free to quote a section, but always provide a link.
By the way copy/paste copywritten material is also against TrekBBS rules

It seems that Abrams has so far tapped all "buzzworthy" talent for this film...
...Zachary Quinto, one of the most popular characters on one of the most popular current TV shows. 'Heroes'. Anton Yelchin, whose film 'Charlie Bartlett' has gotten quite a few good early reviews, and now Zoe Saldana, who is in one of next years most awaited projects -- James Cameron's 'Avatar' (not related to the animated TV show).
I wonder who the next will be to join the cast, and I wonder to which "buzzworthy" project that star is presently attached. Maybe it will be someone from Abrams' 'Cloverfield/1-18-08' project...possibly Mike Vogel: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1036181/
EDIT: Fixed Spelling of Yelchin's Movie from 'Charlie Batch' to the correct 'Charlie Bartlett"...what can I say -- I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan

Yeekers, maybe if she put on about 20 pounds...Uhura should not be a stick! 
As long as she's a semi-decent actress, she should do okay, it's not like Uhura is such a well-defined role anyway. But eat a burger or something.
Ah HAH! Suddenly this rumor is seeming a lot more likely. Avatar's already underway so I'd imagine it will hit in time to give Trek XI's new Uhura a little PR boost and help the movie overall.
Pretty good. I still say Bailey looks more the part. But not by a huge margin. Vogel has a bit of generic-square-jawed-hero-ness around him. I'd like Kirk to be more unique.

Well, she's certainly worthy enough. I've never seen her act before so I can't comment on that.

I've no opinion of her either way as I never heard of her before now. This is not a bad thing. I've been saying all along that they should cast unknowns in the roles (Quinto as Spock is a good casting choice, but we're already hearing some grumbling from people who think of him more as Sylar). I personally would have preferred Rosario Dawson, and in recent weeks Freema Agyeman of Doctor Who also started to go up my list of preferred choices (and if Michelle Ryan can lose her posh Brit accent for Bionic Woman, Freema can drop her's for Uhura). But if this rumor turns out to be true, I don't see a problem with Zoe Saldana as Uhura.
Cheers!

Gene Roddenberry told me via Ouija Board that he'd "hit it."
