Star Trek is a science fiction film directed by J. J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is the eleventh Star Trek film and a prequel to The Original Series, featuring all of the main characters, portrayed by a new cast. Leonard Nimoy reprises his role as the older Spock, who meets himself via time travel,[5] and Eric Bana appears as the rogue Romulan Nero. The film is scheduled to be released on May 8, 2009 in North America and the United Kingdom. Cast * Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. The actor dropped out of starring in a film adaptation of White Jazz to take on the role.[6] Pine said he wanted to evoke Kirk's characteristics, but not completely replicate William Shatner's performances.[7] He also cited Harrison Ford's performances as Han Solo and Indiana Jones as an inspiration because of his "absolute grumpy manner; the accidental hero. Not to say that I modeled my version of James T. Kirk on anything in particular but I think I definitely have wanted to bring that kind of Harrison Ford humor to Kirk."[8] Before Pine was officially cast in the role, it had been widely rumored that Matt Damon would play Kirk in the movie. Damon, upon hearing the rumors (including William Shatner giving him a "seal of approval" for the role)[9] contacted Abrams to ascertain the truth, only to be told that the Kirk in the film was a younger man and he was "too old" for the part.[10][11] Damon commented that if sequels are made featuring an older Kirk than portrayed by Pine, he would be interested in playing the role.[9] o Jimmy Bennett plays James Kirk as a boy.[12] * Zachary Quinto as Spock. * Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Like Pine, Urban said of taking on the role that "it is a case of not doing some sort of facsimile or carbon copy, but really taking the very essence of what DeForest [Kelley] has done and honoring that and bringing something new to the table". Urban has been a fan of the show since he was seven years old and actively pursued the role.[21] * Simon Pegg as Montgomery "Scotty" Sc
