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.

This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights.

I'm going to say :
NO SHATNER
NO NIMOY
NO MUDD
NO KHAN.

There are potentially a whole new universe of aliens and villians out there. With the ability to portray them as more than "forehead of the week".
Why limit yourself?
Cheers.

Disagreed. Khan has to be in the next movie! Bring on Javier Bardem...

Nimoy and Shatner cameos - YES !!!!
Khan and Mudd - NOOOOOOO !!!


Shame on you Gustavo... SHAME! You honestly want to dig up Shatner and Nimoy again (who will be 79 years old when the sequel is filmed) for the sequel? At least Khan, Mudd or whoever else would be younger actors and make sense. Remember now, Khan and his supermen are still in cryogenic freeze on the Botany Bay and were uneffected by Nero's timeline altering. Let's please let these old actors be so the new crew can have their own film. Just look how First Contact did when the TNG crew was allowed to shed their TOS-costar baggage.
