No Tom Cruise For Star Trek

By Josh Tyler: 2006-10-26 00:00:00

On Tuesday we brought you the rumor that Tom Cruise was being considered for a part in J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek movie. The story was reported by real news sources, but at the time I think we had the good sense to call it "ludicrous". Well its ludicrousness has been confirmed.

The guys over at TrekMovie.com have been working the phones to get in a confirmation from someone over at Paramount, the studio producing Abrams' new Trek movie. They've been unable to get any kind of confirmation from their people there, and what's more they've gotten a flat denial of the rumor from one of Tom Cruise's publicists, Arnold Robinson: "That story is not true," he says.

It doesn't get much clearer than that.

The whole thing never made sense in the first place. Sure, Abrams and Cruise may have some sort of relationship after working together on Mission: Impossible: III, but Paramount is the studio making the movie and their relationship with Cruise couldn't be any worse. They practically threw him off the lot, and it's rather unlikely that either side wants anything to do with the other.

So forget about the Tom Cruise for Star Trek rumors for now. If anything else surfaces on it, we'll let you know.

NO. Tom Cruise is as much as possible the anti-Star Trek. I hope this is just an unconfirmed rumor.

As much as I enjoy Star Trek this will definitely be on my "do not see" list if Cruise ends up starring in it.

RUMOR UPDATE: Tom Cruise to play Captain Christopher Pike in new Star Trek movie. My guess is that we’ll see what happens that caused Pike to be put in that enclosed black wheel chair where Pike has those lights on the front to blink yes or no. So, Tom Cruise in one scene will probably be sitting in the captain’s chair on the U.S.S. Enterprise and in a following scene later then you’ll see Tom Cruise blown to smithereens and then put back together to be rolled around in the trek black wheel chair. That’ll be a great analogy for how Tom Cruise’s acting career has gone…. Anyways, shortly thereafter, James T. Kirk becomes captain of the Enterprise and then we see the rough start of the relationship of Kirk and Spock where Spock is still loyal to Pike and Spock is unsure of Kirk…. Or something along those lines is my guess….

Tom Cruise is such a polished extroadinary actor. Paramount blew it when they parted with him. I hate Pitts' acting but Tom Cruise makes you sit down and watch him in action.

I would love to see Tom Cruise and Kate remake the movie Soldier Blue. That would be so awesome because they are both so incredible on the big screen.
