Wow.. you guys are harsh today.. I watch these guys every morning and they are great, btw they are #1 in LA.. let's see you do a live three hour show Monday through Friday and never make a mistake.

Well today isn't my best day ever. Don't mean to take it out on anyone.

everyone has bad days. Great to see some set shots, can't wait to some more, keep em coming. Has anyone seen any pics of the good Mr Simon Pegg yet.

News teams and Star Trek have always been kind of at odds.  Especially when they think we are all still a bunch of nerds with no life outside of Trek.  But I cut them a lot of slack these days.  I haven't seen many of the main actors yet in costume.  They are keeping things pretty secretive.

Will be like opening a good present when we see the costumes. You're not overly keen on Simon Pegg being Scotty are you Rico. I'm a big fan of Peggy ever since Spaced (seriously check that show out if you haven't seen it, 2 series and both available on DVD), and he's a big Sci Fi fan so i reckon he'll give it his best. according to Nick Frost he and Simon went away on holiday last year and he couldn't figure out why Simon kept drifting into a Scot accent, looks like we know why. Plus on a personal note my friends reckon i look a bit similar to Peggy (every film i go to they say good acting Meds, especially when Run fat boy run came out ha ha), so i'm hoping his Scotty will be great purely for the lookalike pointing.

I'm sure Pegg will do fine, I just thought Paul McGillion who played Dr. Beckett on Stargate: Atlantis would of been a better choice.  He looks much more like James Doohan and is Scottish too.  But he did land a small part in the movie anyway.

A bit of an interview with Eric Bana....

While Bana and the rest of the cast have remained fairly mum of the plot of the movie, at the New York press conference for "Boleyn," Bana did answer a few questions about his upcoming stint in outer space.

You've said that your character Nero will only be making a cameo in the upcoming "Star Trek," but isn't he the main villain? What can you say about that?

Bana: Well, I guess he kind of is, but I guess what I mean is that in the context of the roles I usually do, the weight is firmly on other areas, you know what I mean? It's not one of those roles where you're carrying the movie, is what I'm saying. I feel like I'm very much in a supporting role, not one of the main guys. So "cameo" is a way of saying I don't feel like, as I am in this film or some other films, where you're clearly carrying a lot of the film. It's a luxury to not be in that position. It's nice to be offered a part like that.

What made you want to do it?

Bana: I couldn't resist. I read it and I know J.J. pretty well and there was just no way to say no, it's just too much fun.

So you're not a Trekkie?

Bana: I like the show, I liked the original as a kid. I loved it. I haven't seen a lot of the movies since, but I was a fan of the original series. But even if I was crazy about the original series, that wouldn't have been enough to make me sign on to a film I didn't want to do. I just read the script and I went "That is an awesome script" and it's J.J. and it'd be a good time, to play a character like that. It was a very easy decision.

Have you filmed your part yet?

Bana: No, they started shooting quite a while ago. I've got the plum gig on that film, I've gotta say. I haven't even started yet. I just go in at the very end and do my cameo.

Is it just me, or do the black starfleet uniforms look a lot like the uniforms worn by the crew of an Imperial Star Destroyer?
