According to IESB and AICN, actor Karl Urban (Lord of the Rings, Pathfinder) will play the new Leonard "Bones" McCoy in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie.

According to AICN sources, Urban as "Bones" is "pretty much a done deal".

The role was played by the late DeForest Kelley in the TOS series and movies.
 
Star Trek writer Roberto Orci told Trek Movie Report that McCoy has a substantial part in the film. Just about all of the TOS characters are now accounted and cast. 

UPDATE : According to StarTrek.com and The Hollywood Reporter Karl Urban has signed a deal to play McCoy.

The original report can be found here and here.

The Stargate shows go down well with women (ahem) because of the men in it. Apparently.

"I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry

"...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry
