Are they going to install a couch on the Enterprise so that Cruise has a place to jump up and down? Tom Cruise’ name is a box office turn off for me. I’ve been a fan since the original series premiered, but the presence of Tom Cruise in the series will end my interest.

#276..Sounds like how Nick Meyer directed Shatner in TWOK…many takes per scene simply to calm him down and get the line spoken and not shouted.

I’d root for the “Rut” to appear in some capacity in this Star Trek Movie too…he’s great. :)

And also like your suggestion of a ‘Pike’ era series…as that would give us TOS imagery without recasting a ‘Kirk’ crew which would conflict with the new Movie(s) Kirk crew that we will be getting used to, and would not be able to commit to a series no doubt…

Keep Tom Cruise away from the Star Trek franchise completely! His stupidity over mental illness doesn’t hold up to “Trek” standards of fairness to all life forms!!!

Like your idea of Robert Patrick as Pike by the way…if we can’t have Ray Liotta…

More support for Paul Gross as Pike! Sure, he’s not an A-lister, but he was damn good in Due South (his voice might be a little too high-toned, though). I wouldn’t mind supporting the Canuck in any Star Trek role. Plus, he looks a lot more like Jeffrey Hunter than Tom Cruise… Not to mention that the whole Cruise eccentricity would much more likely hurt the film (if not creatively, then at the box office) than aide it in any way – if you’re going to cast a big star as Pike, pick one that people don’t cheer *against*.

I’m not totally against big-names in Star Trek; in fact I’ve been wanting Tom Hanks involved in Trek for ages (in a different role perhaps). That guy got a lot of respect from me for Apollo 13 and particularly for From the Earth to the Moon.

Ray Liotta does look a lot like Hunter.
