At the recent Vegas-Con, Paramount released another set of Star Trek character posters. These feature John Cho as Sulu, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy and Anton Yeltsin as Chekov.
Once again they’ve bathed the characters in primary colors, making it difficult to make out clearly what they really look like in character, but at least it’s something.
Check out the four posters below.

Although in my opinion the most unusual bit of Star Trek casting was Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, for some reason I have a feeling he’s really going to nail it. Although Simon Pegg doesn’t look the part, I think he’s versatile enough to pull off Scotty. Yeltsin as Chekov - no big deal. Just play it with an accent and wide-eyed. John Cho I don’t know about as Sulu though.
What do you think?

Star Trek opens on May 8, 2009.

Lol Rob,, I soo agree about Worf,,,
Terry Tribble, don’t eat the grain on K7, its contaminated.
(Tell your tribble friends,,)
Eeeccceeekkkkxx

(Tribble speak)
Steven, yeah they got a great cast. Urban’ and Quinto (IMO) are gonna steal this one.
hey Steven,
that poster doesn’t do any justice for Pegg. Check out the link I posted above in the comments. He definately looks much more like Scotty in that.
That one is better, although not sure about the suit
Agreed, Rob. That comb-over in your link just about does it - his hair’s too short in the poster to conceal the “Pegg peak”, and the lighting doesn’t do him any favours either. Very strange. Yeltsin looks more like a young Dr Bashir off DS9!
Chekov, looks like he’s just been given the order to pull out of Space dock for the first time.
“But Keptin, vee are not ready,,,”.
“I gave you an order Chekov,unless you would rather spend the first year scrubbing out Jefferies tubes !!”
Could those eyes BE any bigger? Deer in the headlights!
Terry Tribble,,,
if you ever find yourself out on Deep Space K7, don’t eat the grain !!!!
Sorry, haters, but for right now, this is my most anticipated film for next year.
I can’t wait to see the new footage.
Anton Yelchin seems like the odd choice, IMO, but he’s a good actor and I’m sure he’ll do well. If they make Teen Titans in the near future, I think he’d be great as Wally West/Kid Flash.
KEL, I’m just havin’ a larf, honest! I’m actually gagging to see the final product (and I’m not a Trekkie by any stretch of the imagination). I’m not that bothered as long as there’s some vague resemblance, I just thought the studio had made a slightly…curious choice of photos.
FlameStrike said: “Regarding Chekov, I always figured he was on the Enterprise in season one of TOS, but just hadn’t been assigned to the bridge yet.”
They can find some excuse, like he was manning the bridge on a different shift for the first season.. Junior to Mitchel among others. Then too sometimes you put experienced people on the odd shift to shepherd the inexperienced.
Notes:
I need to get a life and I’m a hater,,,
Sheeesh and its monday.
Awww, 790! Don’t be so hard on yourself…. :p
LOL, Big Dentist.
I think I’m gonna wet my pants watching this film on the big screen when it comes out.
But ya, agreed about Urban. I’d like to finally see him in a non-killing-people type of role, y’know?
And Quinto…I mean, I think he’s a son or time-travelled version of Nemoy, I’ve never seen such resemblance between unique looking actors
Why post fuzzy images from TrekMovie when the Official Star Trek Movie site has high-quality wallpapers of these new movie posters?
Look in the Downloads section of the official site…

@Nero
Because the “fuzzy” versions become available online 3 days before they arrived on the official website.
That’s why.

Some have or never heard the adage “Get it while it’s hot!” Besides SCREENRANT is a one shop stop for genre movie news. (:
i swear to GOD if thy put tribbles in this film.
i am gunna scream !
WAR-MACHINE, tribbles are in the picture, that came out a few months ago on Trekmovie.
(Covering ears!)
Everytime I think of Simon Pegg as Scotty I laugh. Scotty was sarcastic at times and think Pegg was a good choice. I’m having difficulty with Pathfinder as Dr. McCoy, I just cant see it. It will be interesting to see Cho in a more “serious” role.
