Big news from the future, folks! Now that Star Trek 3 has finally gotten itself a new director (Justin Lin!) and a pair of new writers (Simon Pegg and Doug Jung!), casting is underway. And you’ll never guess what they’re looking for…
Join Captain Jessica Chobot as she explores four new roles the Star Trek threequel is looking to cast, what they say about how the film might take shape, and whether we’ll get to see Bryan Cranston, a.k.a. Heisen-Borg, take on the crew of the Starship Enterprise! (Probably!!!)
Thanks for watching today’s show! Don’t forget to catch the latest episode of Nerdist: Play, then let us know in the comments below whether you’re Team Fight Trek or Team Smart Trek!
Can we get Bryan Cranston to do a Half-Life movie? He could pull off Freeman
Team Smart Trek
I’m team Smart Trek but I know Action Trek would make a ton more money 🙁
Smart Trek = Real Trek Please real trek
Space Balls!!! Great, there goes the Galaxy…
Smart Trek!! that’s what attracted me to trek in the first place!
Spaceballs joke at the end ftw! \m/
Well, if they don’t cast Walter White, maybe they can get Jesse Pinkman. Who wouldn’t want to hear him utter the immortal words, “Beam me up, bitch!” ?
Smart-Trek, this franchise is about exploration, peace, and the understanding of other cultures. What Abrams did was star wars in the 23rd century.
Nice, I’m down for smart and action. Also no one told you because they were too bust staring at it, not for being too big but for being nice
We are the ones who assimilate!
McCoy’s ex-wife has NEVER been seen on screen, She’s been seen in books only, and very very few of those.
We are the ones who assimilate!
Smart Trek, and your ass is perfect.
Kevin Spacey as a villain?
Jessica Camel-Chobot
Nice Cameltoe
Javier Bardem if not Cranston!
Rowan Atkinson would make a good villain.
Kirk vs Mr Bean! Awesome!
Time marches on, Jessica. Sooner or later your find it’s marching on your face.
Maybe sooner rather than later YOU’LL use spell check. Pretty sure you meant you’ll not your.
Team Smart-Trek! Action Trek is just Star Wars.
Indeed. Trek is about exploring the human condition. Vulcans being about pure logic was not done by osmosis, it serves a purpose. Vulcan logic versus human emotion, what wins out?
