For those opposed to having Checkov in this new one, Star Trek.com says that Checkov will be a “Starfleet Cadet” in this new film.

If he’s Chekov…than I really need to get in contact with casting.

Conan O’brian as Charlie X. Come on folks don’t deny it!

Dude doesn’t sound anything like Chekov, and he’s a friggin Russian.

The kid definitely has the ‘cute’ factor-and that’s a good thing. It will bring in the younger, ‘teenage girl’ crowd.

I find it ironic, as it was the same reason the character was created for in the first place!

Yelchin knows NOTHING about Star Trek? Why not watch box sets on the weekends? :) Oh, right, all that you’ll see is yellow spandex shirts, tight pants, and space boots…and Shatner! Where the hell is Shatner? It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything from him regarding the movie except that time when he said he was disappointed about not being in the movie with that blonde interviewer. I know he’s probably busy with Boston Legal or something but by rights he should be in this movie

Loved your mock-up…his ‘Chekov’ hairstyle just made me believe in this guy a little more now…

Casting is definately on course for this thing…but an awful lot rests on a good ‘Kirk’…and in my case…a good ‘Scotty’… ;)

Anton Yelchin is a fine choice. He was GREAT in the elsewise forgettable ‘Alpha Dogs’, and is getting a lot of early Buzz for the title role in ‘Charlie Bartlett’. ‘Charlie Bartlett ‘isn’t coming out for several months yet, but critics who got a sneak peak are already talking about Yelchin’s performance.

It looks as if Abrams is getting actors with a lot of “positive buzz” around them and/or their projects, Such as Yelchin, Zachary Quinto with ‘Hereos’ and Zoe Saldana with James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’.

They really should just headhunt Andy Bray.
He IS an actor- not an impressionist.

But then again, if Anthony Hopkins could pull off Nixon, anything’s possible.
