Star Trek Casting Complete

From EW:
Chris Pine will play a young Captain James T. Kirk and Karl Urban has been cast as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek movie for Paramount.


Urban's the dude on the left who looks like Brad Pitt, killed Jason Bourne's girlfriend, and played a Viking raised by Indians in some crap movie Mike wanted to see.
Just last week, Abrams cast John Cho as Sulu, Simon Pegg as Scotty, and Eric Bana as the villain Nero. Also on board are Zoe Saldana as the young Uhura, Anton Yelchin as the young Chekov, and Zachary Quinto as the young Spock. Original Spock Leonard Nimoy will also appear in the movie. Little is known about the plot other than it will probably chronicle the Enterprise crew's early days at the Starfleet Academy.

I really don't remember him in that. But to me, most of those humans in that movie looked the same.
