Um ... "emaciated talent?"

Since when does Starfleet have a bulimia division?

Thin, athletic, fit Trekkie fans? lol, I hope they're only a few people short.

I know I wouldn't meet this criteria and don't know any who would. I love Sci-Fi, and think the Treks are ok. I'd rather see a new TV show (even though they've been progressively going downhill since TNG).

So basically if you have a long neck, small head, bug eyes, and are willing to have a Vulcan-type eyebrow shape then you qualify to be in a motion picture?? Sounds like someone that belongs at a circus.

Have fun crossing those picket lines, Trekkies.

Erm...nevermind. Looks like it's not at one of the studios. Strangely enough, that casting call fits me. Except I'm not really a trekkie.

I wouldn't be in this bastardization of Star Trek if they paid me! I want nothing to do with JJ Abrams Teen Star Trek film...no thanks.

Dang, I fit the bill but Burbank is a long way from Texas. :(

Answermanmvp2001 what in gods name are you talking about, with the the exception of the guy playing Chekov, no one in this movie is a teenager. Hell, the actors playing Scotty and Sulu are over 35. If you want to criticize a movie before a frame is even shot at least get your facts straight. Also if you want nothing to do with the movie stop trolling and ignore further Star Trek news from now on.
