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.

Ditto. It can be done as a small scene or cameo without taking away from the movie.

But what incarnation of Kirk would Shatner play? Would it be a flashback of Kirk Prime, or an older new-timeline Kirk somehow brought back to timeframe of the next movie? If so, they wouldn't share any common memories, except for their meeting on Delta Vega. Unless Spock Prime finds the Nexus and somehow telepathically pulls Kirk Prime's "echo" out of it. After all, the Nexus does not exist in space and time the way we do. Of course, I'm sure I'll get a lot of negative comments for this suggestion. But remember, "this is only a web page."
