I could see Kurt Urban playing Thor or Hercules, but in no way, shape or form could he be Dr. McCoy. I think he’s really just a pal of the writers & producers who would like in on the film in some sort of role.

SIMPLY PUT: JUSTIN HARTLEY (OLIVER QUEEN/GREEN ARROW ON SMALLVILLE) OR BENJAMIN MACKENSIE (THE O.C.) AS KIRK…NICHOLAS BRENDON (XANDER FROM BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) OR ANDY HALLETT (LORNE FROM ANGEL) AS BONES…ROBERT PATRICK OR BEN BROWDER AS GEORGE KIRK…KYLE BRANDT (FORMERLY OF DAYS OF OUR LIVES) AS PIKE, JAMES MARSTERS (SPIKE ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER/ANGEL & DR. FINE FROM SMALLVILLE) AS EITHER GARROVICK OR ROBERT APRIL WITH MICHAEL SHANKS AS THE OTHER AND DANIEL DAE KIM OR JAMES KYSON LEE (ANDO ON HEROES) AS SULU WITH MATTHEW FOX AS GARY MITCHELL.

How old do you think Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg really look? I think they could pass 8 or 10 years younger than they are to play Kirk at 30. I don’t know about a real unknown actor playing Kirk.

Some of the most recent films roles played by Urban:

Pathfinder (2007)
Out of the Blue (2006)
Doom (2005)
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

Not to take anything away from the “salad” bit, but I’m beginning to suspect that one’s opinion herein would almost certainly benefit from seeing more of Urban’s work.

Perhaps no one has noticed, but some of us may be falling into the trap of type-casting Urban based upon the above clip from “Julius Cæsar.”

Karl looks more like a Captain Pike, but I could sorta see him as Bones. If they’re going about 5-10 years younger then the original cast were, he’s the right age for Bones. And having someone whose ‘known’ but not an A-lister because Trek was Kirk, Spock and Bones most of the time, makes sense. Karl isn’t a BIG name like Crowe, McAvoy and Cruise. Why do they need A-Listers anyway, ‘Star Trek’ IS the A-list name!!

Karl Urban can’t be in the movie, because otherwise people will be calling it a Keith Urban movie.

Karl Urban is Pike not Bones or Scotty but think Ray Liotta should be Pike

I love time travel movies or tv. But I think some time travel movies get so twisted that the general public can’t follow the story line or it’s to simple it’s boring like when a scene is repeated again and again. Some movies will have the scenes shot at different angels to help with the repeats. So you need the right kind of writters for a time travel movie.
