I'm waiting for demi's confirmation.

Paramount apparently has issued the PR, its the real deal.

And Simon Pegg has worked with JJ Abrams before. He had a decent size role in Mission Impossible III.

Edit: Variety is running the PR release too http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117973913.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

That doesn't make any sense

I love Simon Pegg. He seemed to like, age fast, though. He went from being hot to looking kinda old in Hot Fuzz pretty quickly.

Simon Pegg's career sets a course for STAR WRECK

TVC15 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:41:25 AM »

If Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were the Beatles, Simon would be John, the smart, cute, and talented one, and Nick would be Paul, the fat and annoying one with an annoying vegan wife-whore.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:57:41 AM »

So basically, Simon is going to hook up with some psychotic broad and make crap 'till he prematurely dies?

What about Edgar?

Ichirou · « **Reply #9 on:** October 12, 2007, 02:00:21 AM »

This makes no sense. Jimmy Doohan was really fat at the end, and he had a full head of dark hair when he was younger - they shoulda gone with Nick Frost for the role. I'm serious.

TVC15 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 12, 2007, 02:05:46 AM »

Yoko wasn't a psychotic broad. Despite public opinion, she's done some interesting things.

drozmight · « **Reply #11 on:** October 12, 2007, 02:29:26 AM »

Will Nick make a cameo as a Klingon?

lol, snotty frost...IT'S LIKE FROZEN SNOT!

this post was unnecessary.

Ichirou · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:50:02 AM »

Indeed.

demi · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:50:30 AM »

Simon is going turn into a Hollywood schlub

Nick remains strong, however

Ichirou · « **Reply #16 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:51:37 AM »

Strong as in nobody will cast him for major Hollywood productions, yeah.

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:52:06 AM »

That's a good thing

Ichirou · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:53:07 AM »

Not for his pocketbook. And not for people who prefer to see Pegg & Frost playing off each other.

demi · « **Reply #19 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:54:34 AM »

I don't think anyone who brought Synbios here has any room to talk on preference

Also, Nick does a lot of adverts, he'll be fine

Ichirou · « **Reply #20 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:55:50 AM »

Uhm...but you're the one who brought me here. That means you're indirectly responsible for Synbios's presence here as well.

Also, I want to see Frost & Pegg working together headlining a big budget Hollywood movie. Is that so wrong?

demi · « **Reply #21 on:** October 12, 2007, 04:01:17 AM »

Um, they're working on Paul, and another film after that

There's plenty of homoeroticism to come

And no, I am not "indirectly responsible" - just admit you made a wrong decision and it'll be all cool

Ichirou · « **Reply #22 on:** October 12, 2007, 04:06:57 AM »

Dude, I dunno how many times you want me to admit it. I've said about a dozen times that it was a horrible decision and I wish I'd never invited that guy (who is now permabanned on NeoGAF, which is where I PM'ed him at). You keep bringing that point up in discussions and it's not like I can argue against it.

demi · « **Reply #23 on:** October 12, 2007, 04:12:04 AM »

I know, it's pretty funny

Ichirou · « **Reply #24 on:** October 12, 2007, 04:13:12 AM »

It's getting kinda old! Grrr.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #25 on:** October 12, 2007, 04:26:27 AM »

wow, you guys really don't get the frozen snot joke.

Ichirou · « **Reply #26 on:** October 12, 2007, 04:29:12 AM »

I get it, I get it. It's a reference to the Vonnegut novel, Cat's Cradle. You're such a fanboy, nintenho. But your taste in literature is exemplary, so I forgive you.

now you really don't get it.

John Cho from Harold & Kumar has been cast as SULU

brawndolicious · « **Reply #30 on:** October 12, 2007, 09:02:17 AM »

I will not see this movie unless he makes a weed joke.

This is actually what I was thinking. I think Scotty could be played off as a comical role as well, so it would fit.

Eh, I shouldn't be complaining. Simon Pegg is an awesome cast for one of the most beloved characters in Star Trek.
