J.J. Abrams Says Jack Black is Not Harry Mudd in Star Trek XII

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:38, 9 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek director J.J. Abrams sent an email to AICN editor Harry Knowles regarding the rumors that actor Jack Black will play the role of Harry Mudd (played by the late Roger C. Carmel in the TOS episodes "Mudd's Women" and "I, Mudd") in the upcoming Star Trek XII sequel. Here are excerpts of his email :

"Yes, talking to Jack Black about doing something -- but not Mudd." Abrams wrote 

 

"Bryan, Damon, Alex and Bob and I have not had MEETING ONE about a sequel."


"Brief, casual, blue-sky conversations, of course. But "okay, what's next for The Crew?" Not a meeting. So any character decisions, let alone actor discussions, feel like a ways away."

The full report can be found at AICN.

I'd rather have Uhura mud wrestling an Orion chick.

It cant be Jack Black because we all know it'll be Will Ferrell.

And wouldn't THAT make certain aspects of fandom combust!

What's the point of talking about this now, anyway? The ink has barely dried on the prints of Trek XI being shown in theatres. Are they planning to move up XII to 2010 or something???

with Shatner as the Emperor, no Shatner.

And no, I don't think there's a way to do a scene without taling away from the film.

Wasn't this something that was suggested by someone on here as a joke?

Black as who? Khan? | Report this post to moderator

I think Jack would make a FANTSTIC Harry Mudd. I would see the sequal if he is in it and I am NOT a fan of the last one. But I can also see him as Cyrano Jones. Very few actors have the chops to play either part- he does.
