Aug 7 2007Tom Cruise Taking Star Trek?
A trusted source of IGN has said J.J. Abrams is looking for an A-list star cameo in his Star Trek prequel, and is currently hoping to pull Tom Cruise in for the role of Captain Christopher Pike, Kirk's predecessor. I can't think of exactly how to word the hilarious connection between Star Trek and his goofy, space-based religion, so please do your best to come up with something. Bonus points for references to Oprah's couch, storing Katie Holmes in a pod, or Xenu.

Can you imagine the sweaty gay orgies he'd orchestrate on the holodeck?

This will only be good if we can see Pike/Cruise horribly disfigured in training accident. Bring on the delta rays!

why, oh, WHY?
does the world need more Tom Cruise crap?
Isn´t it bad news already that a prequel of Star Trek is on the move, that you have to WORSEN it by throwing Tommy in it?
Is like saying I DARE YOU TO GO AND SEE IT!!!!
Two words: WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT

Eh, I could care less. Tom can be a good enough actor when he wants. Should be good.

All leading Star Trek guys have the biggest boner for concepts involving the human condition and exploration though.... I'm crossing my fingers that there will be some kind of worst case scenario involving lots of scientology metaphors.

But...but...but...Jeffrey Hunter was TALL and had a very strong presence on screen. Tom Cruise has neither going for him. At least when others like Mick Fleetwood or Christian Slater did cameos you never saw their faces.

If he throws Cruise in, don't be suprised if he's found later with a batleth pushed thru his ribs and a tribble shoved down his throat. TREKKIES UNITE!!!

Cruise is an exceptional actor. I'd like to see him try his hand at this role.

Whoa!!!! That would be soooo cool if Tom Cruise is in Star Trek. He is a very good actor he would bring out this movie alot. That's the only way im seeing a star trek movie at the theaters. Though, I don't think he should be Christopher Pike, because he is to big of an actor to appear in a cameo. Why would he let someone else get all the shine. He should be captain kirk or spalk or something.... I don't think it's going to happen either way, because he has problems with Paramount. Plus he is already playing "Valkerie" next year.... Nice thought though!
