I know you probably know this already. but last week saw the conformation of two more cast members.

The first one is the announcement that Chris Pine will be stepping into the boots of James T Kirk. This ends the speculation about who will be playing the Starfleet Captain, with rumors about Matt Damon filling the role.

The other news is that the role of Doctor McCoy has also been filled. By Lord of the Rings actor Karl Urban, famed for playing Eomer in the hit troligy. Although it was believed Gary Sinse was the fornt runner for the spot. Karl urbans announcement comes at seemingly quick notice.

besides casting details, there have been no further news regarding the film thus far. The current speculation is about who may be playing Christopher Pike, the first Captain of the Enterprise. No-one has been linked to the role, also no further news regarding if William Shatner will appear as an older Kirk.

EDIT: I just realised that Pike was not the first Captain of the Enterprise, it was indeed Robert April. my mistake.
