I’m not saying I know he doesn’t have the range – I’m saying that I don’t know if he does. Only time will tell.

#42—I did not know that. Well, I guess it wouldn’t be the first bad movie he was in.

As for Urban, I like the casting. Far too often, moviegoers react to casting decisions based upon an unfortunate type casting (which is not necessarily the fault of the actor in question) label. Who is to say that Urban does not have the range simply because we have yet to see it put to use? I won’t. I say let him succeed (or fail) on the merits of his performance as that character. He seems confident that he can pull it off, and I would like nothing more than to see a Star Trek fan (better yet–a Bones fan) get it done. It’s not a requirement, but as I said before, it’s quite the bonus.

You know, my first reaction to this casting was: “He’s too butch! No way!” But every time I read something he says, I’m on board. And there’s something unmistakably Bonesian about his facial structure.

Also, I’ve decided I have no problem with a butch McCoy. Kelley certainly started out with macho bad-guy roles, so maybe there’s some dark, dangerous masculinity to his character. Probably what gives the irascible edge to his humanity.

#39 — Good question!

Do they have a gag order on this guy?

I’m pretty picky when it comes to Bones (as he’s my all-time, number one, much-adored, practically-in-love-with favorite fictional character, Star Trek or otherwise) but I’m very content with Urban playing him. Of course that could change when I see the movie but I doubt it. If anyone is going to do it right, I think he can.

Not than anyone could ever hold a candle to De.

Now, about the physical discrepancies? His eyes had better be blue or I’m gonna have a thing or two to say about that ;D

hey…#36…Sean Connery WAS in Star Trek V…as the voice of that fake God-creature bearing a striking resemblance to a Cytherian (ST:TNG–’The Nth Degree’)

McCoy is my favorite TOS character, so Urban’s got some big shoes to fill. I’ve liked all his work so far, but I haven’t seen him in a role with the emotional range McCoy needs. So, this is one performance I’m anxious to see. I hope we get a good trailer soon.

Urban speaks the truth. Can’t wait to see his interpretation of McCoy.

…the adventure continues….

“If both men survive di Lirpa, di combat vil continue with di Ahn Woon…”

Or something like that…classic! Someone cue the music!
