RUMOUR - CRUISE FOR NEXT STAR TREK FILM

RUMOUR - CRUISE FOR NEXT STAR TREK FILM

I guess it had to happen, that the loudly-opinionated Tom Cruise gets his oar stuck into a Star Trek role.

It’s still not confirmed but the rumours have risen again. According to IGN, director JJ Abrams is looking to have an A-list star do a cameo in the upcoming Star Trek film. Apparently, he is trying to fill the role of Captain Christopher Pike, and the actor he would like to fill the role is Tom I’m-such-a-tosser Cruise.

Pike was James T. Kirk's predecessor as captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise and Mr. Spock's first commanding officer. Pike was the captain in the original and unaired TV pilot, The Cage, where he was portrayed by the late Jeffrey Hunter.

This isn't the first time Cruise's name came up regarding Star Trek. Last year, it seemed that Cruise might be interested in taking the job, but his spokesman told TrekMovie.com, "That story is not true."

The rumour is not confirmed especially as it is believed that Cruise and Paramount Pictures are not the best of friends after studio CEO Sumner Redstone fired him from the company.

However, in the last few months, Redstone has apparently somewhat relented, therefore leaving an opportunity open for reconciliation. If it does happen, it is felt that a Cruise cameo in Star Trek would be a favour to Abrams and not Paramount.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.....

Gosh, Tracy,

You had me worried there for a minute, I thought he was being considered for the role as James T. Kirk...

Nooooooooo, PLeaaaaassseeee.!!!!

I have heard a rumour on official website that Robbie WIlliams (the singer) is also being considered for the role of Kirk?

James T. Quirky?

Hi Melissa

You're right, it is along the same lines isn't it?

Thanks for popping in,

Wow, lots of rumours going around.....no, thankfully Tom won't be Spock,phew. Robbie Williams as Kirk, I just can't see it and I don't think I want to. I like some of Robbie's music but I just can't imagine him as an actor especially in Star Trek.

Good to see you,

Tracy

Cruise would be great as the android, Data.
Or maybe the Klingon.
(ST: Next Generation)

He certainly can't be Lt Uhura.

No communication skills. And he won't look as good in her dress.

Hope you're well Tracy.

I haven't watched Star Trek for years now, but I'm agreeing with you, Melissa and Dusk as I trust your judgement.....

I'd like to see his wife get a role as an alien spaceship "The Hubbard" with Tom dong a cameo role as the pilot.

The Hubbard crashes into an LA soccer stadium. He takes one look at Victoria Beckham and says, "I told you there was alien life on earth!"

Tracy,

I struggle to write blockbusters, or anything of a commercial nature.

It's not like I haven't tried. I just get a few lines into something, and go. I can't do this, no matter how much they'd pay me for it.

It's like selling your soul to Satan in the name of Christianity. What's that saying? Fighting for peace is like fucking for virgnity.

I see what you mean, one time a friend and I were saying that we'd be happy to write erotica if it meant getting paid for it. We never did it and I think it was the drink talking.

Then we moved onto Mills and Boons books...you can tell how drunk we were getting...

Tracy,

I would say you were completey off your nuts by the time Mills & Boon was introduced into the convo.

Was this friend male? Did you do any Barbara Cartland-Wheels in front of him?

Hello David

Yeh, we were moving towards delirium at that stage. It was a female friend and we didn't do any gymnastics...thankfully...

Now I have an idea for a post....on mine, not Peek-a-Boos...
