Karl Urban plays McCoy. A good actor, he was terrific as Eomer in the Rings Trilogy. I think he’d be a good McCoy. Also, I read that Bruce Greenwood is Captain Pike. Greenwood was very good in “Nowhere Man”, a very good paranoid series that had an unfortunate title.
I don’t have any plans to see the new “Trek” until it hits DVD. Having said that, though, if Morn the Barfly from DS9 happens to be in it, I’m on my way to the theater NOW!!
OK...I might be in the minority here and more than a few folks have suggested that I’m a bit old fashioned but,IMO,there are certain films/TV shows that just can’t be....just shouldn’t be...remade.Star Trek falls well into that category...as does ‘To Kill A Mockingbird” and many other films and shows.
You said — I don’t have any plans to see the new “Trek” until it hits DVD.

Well, it might not have hit DVD yet — but — it is on the P2P network (BitTorrent, on The Pirate Bay...) :-)
I just got through watching it from a BitTorrent download...
Karl Urban is at his best in the Chronicles of Riddick
