*not* a good idea. we've discussed before getting overexposed actors to play certain roles. Cruise is still Cruise, and we'll be so focused on Hey, Tom Cruise is playing Captain Pike that it'll ruin the suspension of disbelief. What a stupid a$$ move! Just get a good unknown, for goodness

Right. In the original lore of the first series, Captain Pike was the second (I believe) commander of the Enterprise (Robert April was the first?) He served as captain for many years before being transferred to another ship. Later, Pike was severely crippled in an accident where he was exposed

Exactly. Really, I wouldn't even want a name director like Abrahams attached. Just give me a good director. I wouldn't mind seeing what Paul Greengrass could do with it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: *not* a good idea. we've discussed before getting overexposed

Tom Cruise in a Paramount movie? And a Star Trek one, at that? HIGHly unlikely. This sounds like Abrams talking out the side of his neck trying to keep the publicity going. If anything, THIS is what ends up being Matt DamonĀ¹s role. The rumor mill on this is crazy. On 8/7/07 7:49 PM, Martin

No, that would make, how you say...SENSE. Bakula played a Captain never before referred to, some cat named Jonathan Archer. The NX-01 Enterprise was not the Constitution class ship we know from the original series, but a totally new design, which was supposed to come BEFORE the NCC-1701.
