RUSSELL CROWE IS THE VILLAIN IN STAR TREK
August 12th 2007 03:42
As a continuation of the speculation of whether Tom Cruise will be the new villain in the next Star Trek film, it seems definite that the role will go to Russell Crowe.
A couple of days ago, IGN reported that the big name that Paramount is looking for to play the villain role is Oscar winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator). The site adds that whether the villain will be human, Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan or some other alien species is not yet certain.
This news comes after the rumour that director JJ Abrams was aiming for Tom Cruise to have a cameo role in the film as Captain Christopher Pike, James T. Kirk's predecessor as captain of the Enterprise and Spock's first commanding officer.
Abrams is getting ready to start filming on November 5th with the goal of releasing the movie on Christmas Day 2008.
So, now we know. We don’t have to worry about Cruise any more; the role is now down to Crowe.

JJ Abrahms is a by the numbers writer with no imagination and now news of Cruise as Pike and Crowe as Klingon means this is one Trekkie who wont be going near the franchise again.
I just pray these are unfounded rumors that never develop..

Yes, it's not sounding good is it? I haven't watched any of the films for years now so I won't be so affected but I'm still interested in what is happening. I'm sure many other people will be though. It isn't a good sign when there are so many rumours flying around, like you said, hopefully they won't happen.
Thanks for popping in,
