Trek 2: Eve Up For A Role

Alice Eve is in serious talks for a major role in the as yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel says THR


The trekker in me instantly thought either Nurse Chapel--first played by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry in the  original "Star Trek" series or Dr. Carol Marcus seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan played by Bibi Besch but then indications are that role is a new one for the franchise.

Eve beat out Teresa Palmer (I Am Number Four) and Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) for the role. And her deal is expected to be locked down soon. She joins Benicio del Toro, who also has a deal that pending to play the role of the villain in the sequel.

Chris PineZachary Quinto Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin and John Cho are all returning to the Final Frontier in their respective roles

Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof wrote the script that J.J. Abrams will direct.

The sequel will be produced by Abrams, Kurtzman, Orci, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, and David Ellison.

Production starts mid-January; The sequel will open on May 17th 2013 and is being shot in 3-D
