Oh, my dear fans, your gossiping skills are failing you! In spite of the ongoing rumors (or maybe because of?), the role of Scotty in the new Trek movie did not go to anyone on the rumor mill. Instead? It has been given to Simon Pegg.

Yes. That Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead. I’m assuming there will be some sort of hair dying involved.

And in a surprisingly rumor-free role, the new Sulu is John Cho, most famous for Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Somehow, one gets the feeling that there’s a joke lingering somewhere around this casting of comedians. But at least there’s some casting getting done! Now who’s left to cast? Will we get to see Uhura in this one?
