By GustavoLeao / 15:43, 1 November 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to FreezeDriedMovies, 27 year-old actress Rachel Nichols, currently starring in the parking garage thriller P2, has been cast in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie.

No info on which role Nichols has been cast, but according to online speculation, it could be Janice Rand (played in The Original Series by Grace Lee Whitney), Number One (Pike's first officer, played by Majel Barrett in The Cage), Chapel (also played by Barrett) or maybe even a Romulan or a love interest for Kirk

Nichols worked before with Abrams on Alias.

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

The original report can be found here.

Quote from c.p.:
No doubt when it has there'll be an uproar. ;)


For a lead female character, yes, there can be grumbles from male fans, regardless of sex appeal. Hottie Jessica Alba expressed disappointment over negative fan opinion about her appearing too Hispanic for Sue Storm in Fantastic Four.

I'd question the casting of Rachel Nichols for Pike's Number One.
