So I know that I heard the casting decisions for JJ Abrams new Star Trek movie a long time ago, but they didn’t really register with me until I saw the cast actually all dressed up in their primary colored uniforms. Like, the actors are relatively unknown I guess, but I can’t help thinking otherwise when I see the photos.

Hey that’s not Scotty, it’s Shaun of the Dead!
That’s not Sulu, it’s that dude who wanted to go to White Castle!
That’s not McCoy is the 11th bearded guy from Lord of the Rings!
That’s not Chekov, it’s the dead kid from Alpha Dog who always looks like's about to cry!
That’s not Spock, it’s Sylar in drag! Fierce!
That’s not Kirk, it's just some devilishly handsome dude I’ve never seen before!

I’m not really sure what a remedy would have been for all this, but right now the whole project just feels a bit…off. I guess I’ll wait for a real trailer though before I start cementing these opinions.
