Second Set Of Star Trek Character Posters

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?

For larger versions of the posters head over to TrekMovie.com.

Star Trek opens on May 8, 2009.

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.

Some have or never heard the adage "Get it while it's hot!" Besides SCREENRANT is a one shop stop for genre movie news. (:

@Nero

Because the "fuzzy" versions become available online 3 days before they arrived on the official website.

That's why.

Nero

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...

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

KEL

Awww, 790! Don't be so hard on yourself.... :p

LOL, Big Dentist. :D

Sheeesh and its monday. :-)

FlameStrike said: â€œRegarding Chekov, I always figured he was on the Enterprise in season one of TOS, but just hadnâ€™t been assigned to the bridge yet.â€

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.

The Big Dentist

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.

KEL

Sorry, haters, but for right now, this is my most anticipated film for next year. :)

I can't wait to see the new footage. :D

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. :)

Terry Tribble,,,
if you ever find yourself out on Deep Space K7, don't eat the grain !!!!

The Big Dentist

Could those eyes BE any bigger? Deer in the headlights!

790

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 !!"

The Big Dentist

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!

steven the git

That one is better, although not sure about the suit ;)

Rob

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.

790

Lol Rob,, I soo agree about Worf,,,

Terry Tribble, don't eat the grain on K7, its contaminated.
(Tell your tribble friends,,)
Eeeccceeekkkkxx
Eeeccceeekkkxxxx
(Tribble speak)

Steven, yeah they got a great cast. Urban' and Quinto (IMO) are gonna steal this one.

steven the git

I had trouble recognising Pegg, let alone him as Scotty there. Still not sure what to make of this movie yet.

By the way, is Yeltsin an actual Russian? If not, we have a complete set!
Englishman = Scot
Korean = Japanese
New Zealander = American
? = Russian.

I'm not bothered by that, it just appeals to me, in an odd way. :D
Oh, and agree about Urban. I think he'll do well.

Vic Holtreman

@Terry

What's your favorite TV and/or movie series? Just curious.

Vic

Rob

In regards to Chekov, maybe they'll do the classic Worf, where no matter where he's stationed he always ends up back on the Enterprise bridge for the TNG movies, heh.

FlameStrike

"Never know they might have picked up on Chekovâ€™s 1st season absence ???"

I'd be surprised to learn they picked up on there being more than one season, much less that there were casting differences between them.

Terry Tribble

THIS IS A MOVIE! Not real life. "Doesn't look like Scotty"! There IS NO Scotty. It's FAKE. Comeon people, GET A LIFE!

790

Thanks for the compliment Flamestrike,,, ;-)

Never know they might have picked up on Chekov's 1st season absence ???

FlameStrike

I'll be shocked if that happens, 790. Orci & Kurtzman aren't that good, and I read that Abrams was more of a Star Wars fan, and never paid much attention to Trek. So I don't imagine the director will know enough to catch that, and the writers just won't care.

790

Yeah I noticed. ;-)
Gheeshh kabob.

Well I'm gonna laugh if at the end of the film, Kirk demotes him off the Bridge. That would be clever.

Vic Holtreman

@790 You are absolutely correct, so I rationalized a solution that would fit within canon. :-P

Vic

FlameStrike

I didn't. 430 people aboard the Enterprise, and we never do see all of them in the first season. Why couldn't Chekov have been posted elsewhere on the ship?
