Jennifer Morrison is in this?

Chris

It was just confirmed on the weekend. Maybe it helps explain why she went blonde.

unbreakable clarity

house_cameron: JJ Abrams on Jennifer Morrison, Aussiello reports

Oh, thanks for the info but I wouldn't mind to know more about it

Thanks Chris And it'll be interesting to watch it and to be able to post it about it

I'm sure I'll enjoy it and even more if Jenn is in it . And like I said, I don't mind if she only gets a few scenes because I think this will be great for her

Btw, I think it's interesting what you said about maybe this movie is the reason she went to her natural color of hair again.

Dingbat

Woah! Aroa's here?!

This looks like a great cast. Havent seen many of them act, but I'll see it.

Winona Ryder...hmm...I laughed when I first read she was gonna be in it, but I guess once I see her in costume and all, I'll understand. I loved Amanda, so I'm not sure...

That's a very nice opening post. Great pics. Lets me visualize it more...but no Leonard Nimoy??? The shame!

Really looking forward to seeing Quinto as Spock. I hope he pulls it off well.

Chris

Thanks for the link Aroa!

Amy, the opening is a work in progress. I hope to have time tomorrow to work on it some more.

Cryostar

Whoa, she went blonde?! Boggle.

Did everyone see the set pictures of the young spock?

Dingbat

I did! Actually quite convincing. Now that I've seen ZQ as Spock, I think he'll work perfect. I've never seen him act, but I assume he's good. Looks quite similar to Nimoy!Spock

unbreakable clarity

Chris- You're welcome I love what JJ Abrams said: "She is most excellent"
Btw, if you need info about Jennifer for the opening, I can help

Amy- Yes, I'm here

If you mean Jennifer, yes. Actually, blonde is her natural color of hair.

Chris

Thanks, I'd appreciate that Aroa.
Jennifer's a natural blonde? I didn't realize that. Hubby prefers her as a brunette.

If I come across the Spock pics, I'll put them up.

dukesmom

Chris

Thanks for that dukesmom.

Quinto as Spock

Major spoilers at IESB

doggone

Correct me if I'm wrong here: In the original Star Trek, don't Vulcan's live a long long time.? Isn't Spock supposed to be something approaching 100 years old and Kirk is in his 30's..?? If so, how does this fit into a movie where everybody is young..?

Cryostar

Hrm, it's feasible, not sure if I like it.

As for ZQ as spock, he reminds me of a romulan, honestly. Don't know why.

Chris

Yes, they do. I think Spock's father Sarek was just over 200. In Enterprise, T'Pol was supposed to be mid-60's.

As to how their ages fit in the movie, apparently there will be 2 Spocks and time travel is involved.
