John Cho, who played Harold in the critically acclaimed (yeah right! hehehe) stoner film Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, has been cast as Hikaru Sulu in the latest Star Trek film.  Offhand, the new flick directed by J.J. Abrams (of Lost and Alias fame) and produced by the Lost team of Abrams and Lindelof, is well I dunno…

Couple of other casting bits:

  • Chris Pine is Kirk.  Well I don’t really know the guy.
  • Zachary Quinto (yes! aaaah!!! Sylar!!!) is Spock.
  • Eric Bana is the bad guy.  His name as released is Nero, so he’s what? Romulan?  Will he have a fiddle?
  • Karl Urban, Eomer from LOTR will play Bones McCoy ( “Dammit Jim, if you don’t shut up, I shall whack you with a sword!”)
  • Winona Ryder plays Spock’s human mom, Amanda Grayson. (oooh. nice.)

So I don’t know.  From the get-go this Star Trek movie comes off as… nicely weird. :)
