And yet, I probably still won’t see it
by javabeans
Huh.
So J.J. Abrams is doing the newest Star Trek movie, and at least this time he doesn’t have a TV series to sink while off trying to revive yet another large-scale movie franchise, so good luck to him.
And he’s just cast two of his leads: Simon Pegg as Scotty (as in, “Beam me up”), and John Cho as Sulu (originally played by George Takei).
I’m actually more interested in the Simon Pegg part of the equation (hello, the awesome Shaun of the Dead! And the slightly less awesome but still awesome Hot Fuzz!) But this ought to raise John Cho’s profile a lot further, I think, as long as he doesn’t piss off purist Trekkies (is there such a thing?) eager to compare him to Takei. Cuz Trekkies scare me. I’ve met the guy before and he seems nice enough, so good luck to him.
Hmm, J.J. Abrams, Simon Pegg AND John Cho. Sounds like one not to miss, right? And yet it’s Star Trek. I have nothing against Star Trek, per se, but I just can’t drum up the interest. It’s like the appeal of one cancels out the nonappeal of the other. (Now, Harold and Kumar 2, on the other hand, is gonna RULE.)
(By the way, did you know John Cho was one of People’s Sexiest Men last year? You learn something new every day.)

I love John Cho! Ever since "Off Centre" he was the ONLY reason to watch it! Hilarious guy. Harold and Kumar was great too.. and oh man. I did not know about H&K2! Thanks for the info. The trailer had me laughing already, can't wait for the movie!
I've always wanted John Cho to be more known. I really do hope this movie helps!

John Cho is so cute :) I loved Harold & Kumar and Off Centre was funny because of him.
But like others, Star Trek just really isn't my thing... but I may just watch it just to see him... we'll see.

John Cho as Sulu? LOL...that would be pretty funny, although, John Cho doesn't have that funny serious voice George Takei has. Hmmm...the problem with John Cho's acting is that it's always the same. He's always John Cho....whether he's a pot smoker or some lawyer.
But...H&K 2 looks awesome.

Was a bit put off by the sylar-as-spock thing, but once i heard John Cho (and Simon Pegg for that matter) was on board, all became right again in my Star Trek world.
