Rachel Nichols Joining Star Trek XI Cast?
An Alias reunion?
Most of its major roles have been filled, but that doesn't mean we're done having fun with Star Trek XI casting stories -- and here, for proof, is a Rachel Nichols Trek rumor.
IGN Movies reports that Nichols -- who will be seen running around a parking garage and screaming a lot in P2 this Friday -- might be "up for an unspecified role" in Trek. The rumor makes sense, given that Trek director J.J. Abrams worked with Nichols on Alias. From the article:
The Nichols rumor was first reported by FreezeDriedMovies.com. TrekMovie.com speculates that Nichols could be up for characters such as "Number One" (Captain Pike's first officer), Nurse Chapel or perhaps Carol Marcus, the mother of Captain Kirk's future son David. CHUD.com suspects that Nichols might play Yeoman Janice Rand.
Kirk's baby mama? Yeah, we can see that:

on Nov 05 2007 06:15 AM As I was trying to find out just who in the hell she is, I was surprised to discover that she actually has a fan site. It seems that Abrams feels his Star Trek needs more eye candy on the bridge. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 05 2007 07:10 AM Yeah, the big boob/skinny arms chick from Alias and the Dumb & Dumberer movie. Not the sideline reporter with the same name from ESPN. She looks better far away than up close in HD. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 05 2007 09:10 AM Every Star Trek show has at least one disposable bimbo. I%u2019m betting that she%u2019ll be Klingon fodder before the halfway mark. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 05 2007 02:31 PM This movie is just going to suck. Why cast a bunch of 20-something nobodies and go back to the beginning to tell a story that didn't need to be told? This is going to be Trek's Phantom Menace. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 05 2007 07:25 PM Star Trek has been dead for years. Aren't you fanboy types happy that it might get new life?? Why just keep complaining before seeing it? Could be great! It wont be, but think positive! (Reply to this) |

on Nov 06 2007 01:04 PM I think she's a great choice for Nurse Chapel . I just read that the son of James Doohan (Chris) auditioned last week for a role on Star Trek. I found it at www.trekmovie.com (Reply to this) |

on Dec 25 2007 11:41 AM I am less worried about the bast than I am about Abrams undermining the message of Star Trek with his usual methods of justifying the use of torture by the principle characters in his projects. Come to (Reply to this) |
