Whom would TC play? I think someone mentioned Captain Garth a while back. Could be cool.

#78 If it translates into Big box office for the studio I don’t think his firing or his beliefs would or should be an issue.

Please no fundamentalist cult memebers in a Star Trek movie.
BTW he was fired by Paramount

My take is that he was referring to Tyler Perry. I don’t recall if he used the term “A-lister”; if so, that would perhaps be stretching things a little.

#75 Xai I do see what your seeing but I am still convinced that the benefits of having A lister participation in Trek far outweighs the potential risks.

I want Cruise to have nothing to do with this. It MUST live or die on it’s own merit. Trek as a whole has respectablilty enough to be a movie again without Cruise, Hanks etc. I may be proven wrong, but I feel that A listers in this film is a distraction to the story. I am going because it’s Trek, it’s a story I want to see, not because Tom Cruise smirked in it somewhere.

No thanks.

And I disliked being censored eariler in this thread just because I commented on another poster’s juvenile critique of Cruise using a four-letter word. But the rules are not made be me…

I think Tom Cruise in Star Trek would be absolutely brilliant and it would do a lot to boost the franchise’s credibility which has waned since the commercial failures of Enterprise and Nemesis.

Why can’t Trek movies have a few big named stars in them?Why is this notion so damned unthinkable to so many fans? Imagine someone like Johnny Depp or Anthony Hopkins or why not Charlize Theron. It could be a boon to the franchise and not the distraction that some might worry about. For all of Treks popularity in scif circles among the elites of hollywood actors and director trek is not heald in high regard I know people are going to disagree with me on this, Fine. But before Abrams and with the exception of Robert Wise , no alist directors would touch trek or list actors for that matter.
Tom Cruise is an A list actor and having him in the film will give it that respectability that trek could actually use, It mightalso help dispell some of the geekiness steriotype that the media has unfairly hung on the franchise. Tom Cruise has done science fiction in the past has anybody forgotten Minority Report?

They can put a big ridgy mask on him so that no one will notice him.
