Anscheinend hat Oscar-Gewinner und Charmebolzen Adrien Brody die Rolle nur knapp verfehlt. Offenbar hätte er sich sehr über eine Zusage gefreut wie MTV verlauten lässt: [..] „I did talk to J.J. [Abrams] about that,” he told me today. And shed a tear for Mr. Brody, because he sounds kind of bummed that he missed out. “That would have been cool. I told my parents. They got a kick out of it. ‘I may be Spock!’ Oh, well. Could have been cool.” So did he do the famous live long and prosper salute for J.J. to try to get the part? “No. Didn’t do it. Maybe I should have. Would have had a better shot at the role,”.
Für Ende 2008 ist der Kinogang des kommenden „Star Trek“-Movies geplant, der unter J. J. Abrams auch ein völliger Neuanfang mit frischen Gesichtern werden soll.
