Sources Say There Will be No Original Series Cast Members in Star Trek XII

Features

By GustavoLeao / 11:37, 20 December 2011 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to Collider.com, director J.J. Abrams is gearing up for a mid-January start date for the sequel to his highly successful Star Trek pic, and details on the project are starting to trickle down. While one of the neater aspects of the 2009 flick was Leonard Nimoy reprising his role as Spock with the help of a very convenient time-travel aspect, we now have word that no cast members from the original Star Trek series will be popping up in the sequel (sorry William Shatner). Sources tell Showbiz 411 that Abrams has no plans to include any original cast members in the sequel.

While it’s not exactly mind-blowing information, I think it’s wise to stick with Abrams’ rebooted cast. Nimoy’s inclusion in Star Trek was a nice way to bridge the gap between the other films and Abrams’ take, but there’s no need to dwell on the past in future installments; we’re happy to follow the new cast in original, separate stories. Following Benicio Del Toro’s departure from the flick, Edgar Ramirez is now the frontrunner to take on the villain role. The untitled Star Trek sequel opens in 3D on May 17th, 2013.

Now you all went and did it. You had to go and open that box for all the Shat fans to come tumbling out. They're everywhere, and I give it only three weeks before Bill says he'd gladly appear in the new film to start this whole train up again.

I, personally, don't care who's in it: I just want a good story and to be entertained!

I hate to compare the Abrams film with the Berman era, but...

"Encounter at Farpoint" had DeForest Kelley as McCoy to send TNG on its way.

"Emissary" had Patrick Stewart as Picard to do the same for DS9.

"Caretaker" had Armin Shimerman as Quark.

"Broken Bow" had James Cromwell as Zephram Cochrane.

Nimoy's inclusion as Spock in the 2009 film is NO different from those appearances. It is now time to let the new cast do their thing WITHOUT anyone from the past shows/movies.

Let them stand on their own for this one.
