Jennifer Garner Wants To Be A Klingon January 4, 2008
by Anthony Pascale , Filed under: ST09 Cast , trackback
Although rumors of her being a love interest for Spock in the new Star Trek appear to have been wrong, Jennifer Garner still seems to want in to the new movie. After starring on JJ Abrams Alias the actress seems to have become quite the fan telling MTV “he rocks; I would do anything for him.” Apparently Garner is a bit of a Trekkie and the actress tells MTV that she would even do a non-speaking cameo.
But Garner has a specific request, saying
I just want to be a Klingon in the movie, I just want to walk through [the frame] as a Klingon.
This isn’t the first time Garner has talked about a role for Abrams Trek movie. Back in September the actress said that all JJ Abrams has to do is ask and she would be there, adding “I owe him.” Garner wouldn’t be the first Alias actor in the film. Her co-star Rachel Nichols landed a part as an Orion. And it is likely that Greg Grunberg will show up somewhere. Maybe Garner is feeling a little left out.

Fine. No ridges, though.
Garner would be a great addition to this film
She should be a Romulan. Better with her body type and face.
HOT Klingon!!
Jennifer Garner! That would be cool with Ridges!
Everybody seems to want their face attached to this project, even for just a walk-on. The thing ought to be a visual Easter egg hunt when it finally comes out. Let’s play ‘Guess who’s behing the rubber forehead’. ;-)

Whoa. Double post during a typo correction. Never did that one before. LOL :-)
I like her lady lumps. Fergies too…..
there are Klingons in this thing as well as Romulans?
I am getting concerned that instead of a movie, we are going to have a Star Trek version of LOST.
Flashbacks/Flashforwards with:
Contruction of the Enterprise
( though this may just be a trailer stunt much like the teaser for transformers)
Klingons
Romulans
Tribbles
Sarek and Amanda
Mom amd Dad Kirk
the Kobiashi maru
Orion slave girl.
old Spock/New Spock
the proffesor and maryanne
and of course….Kirk Rock !
Phew!
Garner is awsome. I’d love to see her as a klingon. Man, there’s a show concept. Klingon secret agent working for Section 31. Never would happen, nor should it :) but its a fun thought experiment.
“Jennifer Garner Wants To Be A Klingon”….and I want to let her!
I want a Star Trek: Titan series :(
sorry was thinking out loud… oh yea, Garner…. 2 words Hubba Hubba!!
I would prefer to see her as a Vulcan love interest for Spock at the time of Pon Farr. She gives new meaning to the term BLOOD FEVER!
6 Everybody seems to want their face attached to this project
Sounds like what the 60’s Batman series was to celebrities. Everyone wanted to be on it. That is a cool thought however.
I’d like to see Jennifer Garner be a Vulcan or Romulan. I dug the commander of the Romulan ship. She always turned me on.
She should be T’Pol
hehe
She’d look better as a Klingon than she does normally, IMHO.
(And I’m partial to Cardy women anyhow.)
“Apparently Garner is a bit of a Trekkie and the actress tells MTV that she would even do a non-speaking cameo.”
I hate to bring up Shatner’s name because I don’t want to turn this into another BBK debate thread………but I just can’t help it…………
Garner is willing to do a non-speaking cameo, while Shatner says “I don’t do cameos.” Who is the bigger box office draw? Garner by far.
Who has the bigger ego? Shatner by far.
I think she has the perfect features for a Vulcan or Romulan (but no ridges please, or that stupid TNG wig). She would be wasted under all that Klingon make-up; but if that’s what she wants, then let her have it!
Oh! She can play the great grandmother of Lursa and B’etor! She can come out in a boob enhancing suit that shows lots of cleavage and get in a bitch fight with Uhura! It will be like every trek nerd’s wet dream come true.
Actors who would do anything for and with Abrams, even non-speaking cameos, actors who are content with just walking through…
Good grief – is this Hollywood’s new list of highly promising, compelling, bold actors setting the standards for Trek years to come?
Wouldn’t be the first random celebrity cameo in a Trek film; it’s an honorable tradition :)
Well someone had to… Ms. Garner as an old-school Kligon:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg187/wlmar/GarnerKlingonOldSchoolcopy.jpg
Yes. Definitely. Get Jen Garner in the Klingon outfit. Absolutely.
As the great-grandmother of Lursa & B’Etor, perhaps?
She would make a fantastic Klingon!
And we want Jennifer Garner to be a Klingon, dammit.
Ridges are fine. But, use her real cleavage, please.
My honest opinion?
WELCOME!!!
I dunno.. the fewer recognizable faces the better if you ask me.. don’t want it turning into a “get yourself into trek lore” party… although, yeah, if I knew the guy I’d probably ask to be in it too lol
where is the trailer!?!?!?!
#10 — Actually, we don’t know Klingons will be in this movie. Garner is just assuming they will, and we are assuming based on her assumption.
#22-That’s the ticket.
somebody please photoshop her as a klingon. As to what type ? the enhanced klingon from the TOS or as a regular klingon from Enterprise and TNG?
#19 – not my wet dream. mine would include a gorn (hardcore gorn movie) :P
Eh, this movie has a large enough cast as it is. Save her for the sequel.
even her as another vulcan passing through would be good.
#30 please refer to #22
#31 Hahaha, Hardcore Gorn… good one. Slar Swallows he’s my favourite Gorn Star ;)
Jen would be a very nice addition to this movie (maybe during a pantie pillow fight with Uhura… what too much?).
If Klingons are going to be included in this movie it would be interesting to see how JJ deals with them. Will he take the Augment virus into account? Or just use the TNG era makeup? Mixure of both??
What ever he does he’d better not have bumpy foreheaded Romulans… that look sooooooo stupid. Senator Vreenak had the best Romulan look, he had the bumpy forehead yes, but it was subtle and looked very good with the actor.
TOS era Romulans looks so cool and evil, and yet they had the same prostetics as a Vulcan, they need to take that approach in this new films not just added evil forehead ridges and Kes-wigs to make them look menacing.
TOS Klingon please.
She would be a better Orion Slave Girl
In my opinion… a Romulan… or should I say Romu-YUM!
Come on JJ, give us Geeks some more eye-candy!
Hiding a beatiful woman like Jennifer Garner under all that Klingon make-up would be a crime against nature!
Why not have a naked Garner roll around in a tub of Jello with Ensign Kirk as they…..as they………..
I have to go now!
Just don’t let Affleck near the set (unless Kevin Smith’s with him)!
Regarding the movie set making Star Trek
The last person they need around is Affleck
He’d slow the process down
With his constant glaring frown
He’d turn the production into a trainwreck!
She plays a sexy Klingon captain named Bam Chicka’Wah.
Maybe it’s just me, but i don’t find Garner to be a smoking babe. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she’s pretty, but I don’t know why everyone acts like she’s a supermodel.
Jennifer Garner’s sharp features would be better suited to a Vulcan or Romulan role. She wants to be a Klingon, but clearly she would play whatever J.J. would ask of her. Also, I don’t see J.J. giving her a role (even a small one) without it being a speaking role.
And someone needs to Photoshop her as a Vulcan/TOS-era Romulan.
I’ve just realised – she’s got the same jawline as David Coulthard….

Jennifer Garner is part of the family, she´s MORE than welcome! She´s everything that is good! Please beam her up!
Boy you said it chewey I mean #43.
^
Just think JJ has to put up with all these distracions.
Jenifer Afflick she’s just as bad as her husband on any film. Since she’s making it publically known I have no prob saying I woundt care to see her in film at all….or her husband as well.
Sorry to the daredevil and Electra fans….
I would tell Garner to get Lost.
^
All these cameos and tyler perrys might not create a stellar story…?
“Apparently Garner is a bit of a Trekkie”
yeah, seems like everyone is a trekkie nowadays. sounds to me like they just want a job. I smell poser.
Can we just put her in the movie!
#10 makes a good point.
There’s too much stuff happening in too little time, with a director with no experience and no-one in the crew to offer any kind of guidance. I’m worried there’s going to be too much “making the fans happy” and not enough “making a good movie.”
My wife thinks she’s kind of mannish.
Maybe….
Actually, she’d make a kick-ass Vulcan!
You May be right Wild Man….
She would make a good vulcan.
I should say, If we are judging strictly on appearances alone, she would make a good vulcan. I am still unconvinced as to her ability to convincingly portray someone other than herself.
Scotty can use a girlfriend, they are either taken by gods or lights. Maybe he can have better luck with this one. Any girl would love to be with a miracle worker, imagine the possibilities.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO KLING ON TO JENNIFER GARNER.
But I don’t think Ben Affleck would appreciate that…
I tend to doubt that Garner needs a job. She may not be an A-lister but she doesn’t lack for opportunities.

If we go by canon, Kirk met his first Klingon in the first season (can’t remember if it was A Private Little Ware or Errand of Mercy. w/e) Of course, we have the time travel aspect.
I agree to a point with #10–I hope we don’t lose Dr. McCoy in the woods (because you can’t see DeForest for de trees). Sorry!
*sigh*
Has CBS Digital quit putting out with regard to the early images from new remastered episodes and previews?
All this “non-news” on here is killin me! I come here for the advance goodies…
#57 “DeForest for de trees”
You are my hero.
That is so awful, it’s gold!
Jennifer, if you are the Trekkie I think you are, then you should probably hook up mith ME. THE GREATEST TREK FAN EVER!!!
Plus did anyone see Star Trek on TVLand this morning? They aired
“Is There in Truth No Beauty?” Great shots of the Bridge in the third act.
I could almost see the Bridge dome. I gotta’ admit my STRONG admiration for the original. AWESOME!!! So much great content, so early on in Trek’s history. PERFECT!!!
Jen! E-mail me!

Kirk:
“With my words I’ll make you hear such ugliness as Spock saw.”
The best line in the episode.
You are right the bridge shot from that angle was the only one I can remember. The fish eye type shots were great also.
Let her walk through, it can’t hurt the story and I LIKE the fact that Trek is suddenly the movie some stars want to be in. It bodes well.
She can be a klingon for Ben Affleck.Arrrrgh!
#42,
LOL!!
Have her in that cameo, but at the same time set her up for a starring role in one of the sequels. Of course, with the writer’s strike, she could only be in the background, but still… she could be set up a number of ways:
As a Klingon, why not cast her (as the one photochop above shows) somewhat like “Mara” from “Day of the Dove”? Or, heck, even as Mara. Explain her as the “Klingon Ambassador to Earth” or some such. She can be a great grand-daughter of Klaang, or a member of the house of Mogh… Please, not as a DuraS. She’d rock as a “chaotic good” Klingon… along the lines of Mara, or Azetbur. And of course, with the swarthy makeup post-Divergence, she’d look great, and could wear something Lursa-esque or Vixis-esque and show great Klingon Kleavage.
As a Betazoid, she’d be super too. She could be infatuated with Kirk and Spock sure… but especially the recently-divorced McCoy. Give her the last name of Rixx, and let her be from the Fifth House.
As a Vulcan, she could be a Vulcan princess (mother of Sybok even?); I’d even buy her as being T’Pring. She could be a child of T’Pol… But not as a Romulan, other than Nero and gang from the future, let’s hope Balance of Terror is kept intact.
Since we’ve never seen a female Gorn, perhaps one could posit sexual dimorphism: instead of looking like a Wah Chang lizard suit, we instead could have a lizardly humanoid with Jane Badler (remember V’s Diana?) figure… Ah yes, the best of V ;)
Then again, shaved bald, she’d be a really hot Deltan ;)
Ruffles have ridges.
(Just sayin’.)
Didn’t read them all so I apologize if this is a repeat but, Jennifer could be Pike’s Number One along with Spock (Talus IV adventure) if they couldn’t find her another role. Let’s see… Hmmm… Who played Pike’s Number One in the ST Pilot (and remake – The Cage)? M. Lee Hudec — otherwise known as Majel Roddenberry. She was gorgeous. (Still is.) Hey, I wonder if she’ll (Majel) make an appearance/cameo?
Just a thought.
Oh, and Harry (#39), take a cold shower. :-)

Jennifer Gardner: Klingon/Romulan hybrid warrior bitch from hell!
BWAHAHAHA!!! How ’bout *that*, y’all?
Peace. Live long and prosper.

PS: Time to go watch Lenny on Craig Ferguson!
Jennifer as a Vulcan or Klingon would basically be a stunt, and a distracting one. I still think that she would be great as Number One.
#65 Daoud “the last name of Rixx….a female Gorn”
There once was a Gorn prostitute named Rixx
Who was well known for her amazing tricks
In bed she was really quite the wizard
After her, you would do nothing but lizard
You no longer needed that daily porno fix!
Oh. It’s Garner, not Gardner.
Never mind.
Peace. Live long and prosper.

I’m still holding out for Jessica Biel.
But that’s just me.
She was awesome in Stealth and would kick ass in or out of a Starfleet uniform.
Jennifer Garner on the other hand? :::shrug::: What can I say, Electra bored me to tears.
Yes, I agree. A romulan or vulcan would be more suited for her. There has been rumor of romulans in the movie, so… she could just walk across the screen as a romulan… that would be cool
Is she volenteering ?
RED SHIRT #9 !
You know the one that doesn’t get killed when they beam down to the planet ;)
- W -
* Who’s being silly *
Why don’t we get Evangeline Lilly (Kate, LOST) to play a Deltan. Heck, let’s get the whole cast of LOST to be the bridge officers of the Republic or Farragut during Kirk’s service on those vessels.
I’d rather see the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer cameo in Trek XI but that’s the other guy’s show.
Keep the ridges out to keep the continuity right.
Jen’s absolutely adorable! She’s definitely one of the hottest pieces of ass in H-wood. I think her cameo is obvious- they should work her in somehow as an Orion slave girl.
I don’t know why JJ apparently doesn’t want her for a role. After all she’s much more famous than Rachel Nichols.
She should do it, maybe then my girlfriend would see this movie WITH me. Since she hates Star Trek and I’m obsessed.
Can someone do a photoshop of her with klingon ridges??
That would be sweeeet…
Yesterday I read this site on my Blackberry aboard VIA train from Toronto to Ottawa with one of my closest friends who has had a huge crush on Jennifer Garner, and this article appeared about her desire to play as a Klingon in the movie. I showed it to him and he dropped his jaw. He said he could not imagine to see her with the ridges on her head and in an uniform.
:)
80
Yeah so I can forward it to my buddy! :)
…you guys DO realize that if she IS a Klingon, since this is a TOS movie, she won’t be wearing the stupid ridges…right?? I mean, that’s kind of a given. DUH. :P
As much as I like Jennifer Garner, didn’t we all learn that walk-ons with flavour-of-the-month actors DON’T hold up well, over time.
……Christian Slater, anyone?
Pleeeeeease…NO ‘Klingons’…
…unless they all look like Jennifer Garner.
