The "Big News" countdown thread.
- Thread starter Jon1701
- Start date
JJ Abrams: Always was a Star Wars kid rather than a Star Trek but still excited. Starting production in November. Wanted to share a little bit of casting with all of us. “How do you possibly top and even match the cast that was in the original series?" We're desperately trying to figure out how to fit Shatner, and it needs to be worthy of him and the movie. “So we're on that." And we're looking for a Kirk.
3:08 - Q&A: First off, loved you on Heroes, how much will your performance be from Leonard Nimoy, how much will be your own. Answer: As much as he wants to be, I guess is the answer. I intend to bring my own spin and working with those guys I'm sure we'll find it.
3:09 - Wondering if George Takei has said anything about being Spock yet and who would you choose as Kirk? Answer: I haven't talked to Takei yet, and I put the decision in their hands and intend to work with what they choose.
3:10 - Teasing with “more casting stuff". He's going to yet again play Spock again: Leonard Nimoy takes the stage yet again and the audience goes wild. More photo flashes than anything

3:11 - Q&A with Nimoy: Thanks for years of entertainment, and I've never seen a man wear a suit like you did in the video for Bilbo Baggins.
3:12 - What do you think of the casting choice that they chose to replace you in the new film? People have asked me why I've been doing this movie: because we have a great director and a wonderful actor, and the answer is: “it was logical." By the way, I should mention, a fabulous script, this is really going to be a great movie, and I mean that.
3:13 - Abrams: We look forward to seeing you next year with much more to reveal. Nimoy “Live long and prosper."
3:13 - Paramount Panel has wrapped up and all is done and finished with this one.

So that's it? I got all excited over nothin.
I wouldn't say nothing. They weren't going to lay out the entire movie for us and they covered some basis confirmed Nimoy (which is big news guys he's de-retiring to this that says alot in my book)
This is only the iceberg's tip.
Sharr
comingsoon.net says Abrams "confirmed" they'd be getting Shatner back as well, yet the information provided from the link in the thread makes no mention of it.
