Well you can add George Takei to the list of cameos in the upcoming Star Trek film. We get the scoop today from our friends at the moviehole:
According to Aint it Cool News, George Takei (Sulu) has hinted – on the Howard Stern talk show, in which he’s a regular – that he may be reuniting with Leonard Nimoy (Spock) for the new ‘’Star Trek’’ movie, due in theatres in May 2009.
Even if the rumour is true though, don’t look for Takei to be in the movie very long – it’ll likely only be a cameo. Jon Cho (‘’Harold and Kumar go to White Castle’’) plays Sulu in this one.
I do not like this. I thought the whole idea of doing Star Trek high was to do something different? if I am seeing new actors play the legendary Star Trek characters, the last thing I want to see is the previous actors! I do not know how this cameo is going to get set up but it will most likely have to do with time travel if history repeats itself.
I want another fantastic Star Trek film, I really do. I have loved the Star Trek universe since I was a kid and have always looked forward to the films. I try to remain optimistic, but my guard is up for fear of disappointment and news like this just makes me go WTF!?!
The only good news here is that George Takei was on Howard Stern again. When George is on Howard’s show – it is hilarious; too bad about the announcement.
