I envisioned this would take place many years after the X-men movies and that their primary enemy might be the Sentinals. I really liked the New Mutants original graphic novel and I actually collected much of the series back in the day starting with issue number one.

I’m actually thinking of running some type of contest here on my blog and giving various old comics away as prizes. If you’re a comics fan, wouldn’t you love the New Mutants original graphic novel or the first issue? I might just do it with enough feedback.

Anyway, let’s get to the casting. (more…smiley

Now we’ve got Mr. Pavel Chekov beaming up.

The casting news is coming faster and faster these days…now from the Hollywood Reporter no less. According to trade paper, the up-and-coming (and Russian-born) Anton Yelchin is in negotiations to play Pavel Chekov for the new Star Trek film. HP also confirms that casting is under way (in New York and London) for “Kirk, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, Scotty, the film’s villain and the Federation captain.” It is not entirely clear what they mean by ‘federation captain,’ it is possible they actually mean ‘fleet captain’ which would be Chris Pike. HP reports that Abrams is expected to sign bigger-name actors for the villain and the ‘federation captain.’ roles. Yelchin is only 18, but has been working steadily since 2000, most recently with a recurring role on the Showtime drama Huff. He is starring in two feature films opening in the fall of 2007 (Charlie Bartlett and Fierce People).
