[...] Further Star Trek casting has been announced, this time it is for chief communications officer Lt. Uhura. Actress Zoe Saldana has landed the part, but I have no idea who she is. I saw this story a couple of days ago, however being that I am not one to make outrageous claims … I waited for confirmation. A quick IMDB check shows that she has been in: The Terminal, Pirates of the Carribean, and the modern classic Drumline. Every thing’s been pretty tight on this production, and at this point I’m not sure if I should be excited or afraid. [...]

[...] TrekMovie.com has another Star Trek casting scoop (remember we were first with Quinto as Spock). Sources close to the production tell TrekMovie.com that 29-year-old actress Zoë Saldana has been offered the part of Uhura – the USS Enterprise’s communications officer originally played by Nichelle Nichols. Apparently the deal is not yet final and one outstanding issue may be related to her schedule starring in the James Cameron sci-fi mega movie Avatar which is still in production. Sources indicate that Avatar will be doing location shooting starting in October and Star Trek is slated to start shooting in November. Dealing with a busy actor’s schedules is not new to the Star Trek producers – the same had to be done for Quinto. Insiders tell TrekMovie.com that casting for other Star Trek characters is still ongoing. [...]

Hooray, it’s Anamaria! She should’ve been in the “Pirates” sequels. I realise Uhura’s role will probably be quite small in this (and Chekov’s) but at least this guarantees we’ll be getting good actors for the roles in future films.

My two cents on the uniforms: they had damn well better change them. Please no velour. Please not brightly-coloured long-sleeved T-shirts with sparkly insignias. Please give them some goddamn pockets.

Dear God. Please not another cliche’d time travel story. Time travel is such a tired concept in science fiction and especially in Star Trek. If they do another stupid time travel story, it’ll be dead in the box office. I guarentee it.

AND as big a fan of Star Trek as I am, I’m not sure I’ll be all that keen on seeing it if that’s the general plot. It sounds stupid as heck.

It’s going to take some kinda woman to fill Uhura’s red panties.
