In the first place, Tom Cruise is not an actor worthy enough to portray a character made famous by Leonard Nimoy (he doesn't have the right look for it, anyway). Second, I've heard that Mr. Nimoy will personally be selecting an actor to portray Mr. Spock for the upcoming #11 movie. Third, you can't ever trust a journalist who would mistakingly say that an actor will play a Star Trek character in a new Star Wars movie. What total BS!!!

But since it's the Daily Star, which is barely better than a cheap porno mag, we're talking about, anyone would be mad to imagine they'd print anything remotely true! To be honest, though, it ***isn't*** damaging that the papers are wildly speculating on who is the new Kirk, Spock or McCoy: it's fantastic! Can you imagine them doing the same for a new Picard or Data? The best thing about going back to the iconic TOS characters is that everyone in the public has some vague notion of who Kirk and Spock are. The fact that the casting is a big enough deal for the papers to make up stories in lieu of the facts means loads of free publicity for Paramount and lots of anticipation for the new film!

Abrams for Pedestriant Pictures Corporation." I'm now stoked.

Basically, the tabloids make stuff up and don't do any factual checks (it would take away from the hacks time in the pub) so this is just another shovel on the already steaming pile of manure that is the British tabloid press. Even if JJ Abrams puts out some info it won't matter, the lazy media and the tabloids will just make it up anyway. A Cruise cameo as a redshirt might be fun...
