PARAMOUNT PICTURES/BAD ROBOT[JAMES KIRK] 23-29 Handsome,cocky self assured and earnest. Great physical condition. 6 ft or less
[LEONARD(BONES)MCOY] -28-32 Medic on the Enterprise. Smart, clever and a bit danger-loving. Dark hair, blue eyes.
[UHURA] 25ish -African American. Brilliant, beautiful, heroic and FUN!, Uhura is almost tom-boyish - as if she grew up in a houseful of brothers.
[SULU] 25-32 -Asian American male (preferably Japanese). Helmsman on the Enterprise. Extremely fit, capable and dedicated. A bit of a wildcat
[MONTGOMERY(SCOTTY) SCOTT] -28-32 a brilliant ship's engineer. Must be able to do a flawless Scottish accent!
The good news: plenty of fanservice. The bad news: plenty of fanservice. As we found out during The Prequels That Shall Not Be Named, stuffing a film with familiar faces to shout out to the fans doesn't mean squat unless there's a good reason to put them there. May the plot be watchable.
And speaking of things that could bite the fandom in uncomfortable places, J.J. Abrams is allegedly in talks with none other than Tom Cruise to play Cpt. Christopher Pike. Those of us who really did like the original series need to go wash out that vomit taste that just appeared.
