The folks at IGN finally gave up the name of the actor that tops both director J.J. Abrams and the studio's wish list to play the villain--that the site teased a few days ago. It's none other than Russell Crowe!
While this rumor is still miles away from reality....My first thought: How cool would that be!
Even if Crowe's name is just being bandied about...This shows that Paramount is obviously willing to invest big buck-a-roos to breathe life back into Star Trek...
Getting Russell Crowe in a Star Trek movie isn't all Tribbles and Plomeek soup though. Any chance the studio has at him would mean making a few concessions--I'm sure.
And while you guarantee more butts to fill the theater seats--the danger in having Crowe on the project, is that he shifts the focus away from the audience getting reacquainted with the classic characters--being played by the new cast...
Stay Tuned...
