Question: As Scotty and Chris Pine as capt Kirk.
Answers: As Scotty and Chris Pine as capt Kirk.
Star Trek (sometimes referred to as Star Trek XI) is an upcoming science fiction film, the eleventh entry in the Star Trek film series, based on the franchise created by Gene Roddenberry. In April 2006, after several years of rumor and speculation, Paramount Pictures announced that the film would be produced by Lost co-creators J. J. Abrams (who is also directing the film), Damon Lindelof, and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who will also executive produce alongside Bryan Burk and Stratton Leopold.
The film is intended to be simply titled Star Trek, and will be released on Christmas Day 2008.

Zachary Quinto as Spock.
Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott.

Zo? Salda?a as Nyota Uhura.
John Cho as Hikaru Sulu.
Leonard Nimoy as the older Spock.
Eric Bana as Nero, the villain of the film.
For some time it was widely rumored that Matt Damon would play Kirk in the movie. Damon, upon hearing the rumors, including comments from William Shatner giving him a "seal of approval" for the role, contacted Abrams to ascertain the truth, only to be told that the Kirk in the film was a younger man and he was "too old" for the part. Damon commented that if they do the progression then he'd be interested in playing Kirk.
Chris Pine is currently in discussions to play Kirk, and while original Kirk actor William Shatner indicated in August 2007 that he will not be appearing in the film, Abrams said in July 2007 that the production was "desperately trying to figure out a way to put him in" but that to "shove him in...would be a disaster."
Before Pegg's casting, Paul McGillion auditioned for the role of Montgomery Scott, and before Quinto was cast, Adrien Brody discussed playing the part of Spock with director J. J. Abrams. Original Sulu George Takei has also expressed hope he will be in the film.
Yeah! Just read about it - so much for them saying there will be no more Star Trek movies - why can't they leave it alone
you've got that wrong. James MC Avoy is playing Scott and tom cruise is cap tin pike. no cap kirk
Just read that myself - I think he's great!
Yes, Simon Pegg is playing Scotty and Eric Bana and Leonard Nimoy are in it too. It will be directed by JJ Abrams who did Mission Impossible III (Simon Pegg had a small role in Mission Impossible III which is probably how he got the gig as Scotty).
