Eric Bana To Play 'Star Trek 11' Villain

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Eric Bana has signed on to play "Star Trek" villain Nero in Paramount Pictures' bigscreen adaptation of the sci-fi series.

Plot details and even character descriptions of the J.J. Abrams-helmed project are being kept under wraps.

Anton Yelchin, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and Leonard Nimoy have already boarded the USS Enterprise. Casting is under way in New York and London, and Abrams had been expected to pursue bigger-name actors for the roles of the villain and the Federation captain, the latter of which remains unfilled.

If the trailers are any iciniatdon, I can assure you that the new Star Trek will not be a good movie. It's time for whoever owns Star Trek to open source production. The fans sense of ownership, and knowledge of the Star Trek universe, probably-no definitely, exceeds that of it's paid writers. They know what they want from the franchise so why not let the consumers create it, then sell it back to them. The failure of the movies and Next Generation spin offs demonstrates the futility of top-down production. But what the hay, just keep guessing what fans want and eventually, you may get it right!
