I would like to see Spock repay that sacrifice, ending with Kirk not having died in Generations. Kirk risked everything and threw away his career (or so he thought) to save Spock in ST III.

Tom Cruise (most likely due to the MI 3/Abrams/Pegg connection?) Russel Crowe (maybe he wanted to be Pike instead of the villian? maybe he hasnt got the time for a big role amoungst all the Ridley Scott films and just wants an extended cameo like Pike might be) Ray Liotta (does look like Hunter alittle) Jim Caveizal (another Jesus - abit too young though) Val Kilmer (sure why not - another Top Gunner ) Tom Hanks (mega Trek fan - apparently was nearly Cochrene in FC) Arnold S (isnt he a big trekkie too? fans would die in horror though..) Mark Walberg (Planet of The Apes Marky Mark... - too young though right?) Liam Neeson (Quin Gonn as Pike?) Ewan McGregor (nah too young) Bruce Willis (...be a bit weird....have to wear a piece too - like he should have done for Die Hard 4!!) Michael Biehn (Michael 'Terminator/Aliens/Abyss/The Rock' Biehn....not big enough a name though is he really) Matthew Fox (Mr 'Lost'.....could it be him due to the JJ thing? - but again not really a big enough name) Kiefer Sutherland (but hes 'banged up' making 24 too much right?) Peter Weller (Robocop? big genre name but not an A lister like they say they want - plus was in Enterprise - the ep that shouild have been the final one wasnt it?) Kurt Russell (yeah I d like to see that - Snake Plissken as Pike...) Kevin Bacon (he must have some Trek connection somewhere) Daniel Craig ("the names Pike...Chris Pine...I mean Pike".....wernt there a few rumours about him wanting in this film a short while ago? cue all the 'Bond as Kirk' rumours..I know hes just about to start filming Bond 22 but maybe Pike only requires a day or so shooting...) ok thats enough - my brain is fried Snakes Guesses as Pike (although if the Bana and Pegg casting is anthing to go by whoever is cast will not have been mentioned before… in that case i’m throwing in some names that havent ever been considered b4 on the off chance it might be them..)

The only thing would he draw attention away from who ever plays Kirk if Pike was in the movie for along period of time? Or just get an unknown that looks like Pike? #120 Do you think Kurt Russell as Pike would work?

Get someone who actually resembles one of the "TOS" characters. The more I hear and read about the upcoming "Star Trek 11", the more I come to believe that the Nov. 13, 2007 theatrical showing of "The Menagerie" is money better spent. No. Ray Liotta for Pike.

What will really turn me off is if the animating spirit that was present in the TOS is not in this "re-boot". Further, the "look and feel" of the "reboot" needs to at least echo TOS if not replicate and improve on it. The whole reason "Enterprise" never worked for me is because TNG character sensibilities and physical design were applied to an era in which they did not exist. Please JJ & Co., do NOT "Phantom Menace" TOS. You know, I could care less about the size of the budgets or how much the new cast looks like the old cast (although that IS a plus).
