Considering all the speculation that surrounded the casting of the upcoming “Star Trek” movie, it wouldn’t seem like a stretch to think that Tom Cruise might be one more late addition to the roster.

“Tom visited the set of the movie and chatted with J.J. Abrams,” a source close to the actor said. The last time Cruise was spotted on a set for a movie he wasn’t said to be signed on for — “Tropic Thunder” — it turned out he had a small role. Unfortunately for Cruise fans, the visit to the “Star Trek” set was just a social call — Cruise and Abrams are friends, and apparently, Cruise is a fan of the television series and in particular, Mr. Spock.

“He asked J.J. if there’s a way he can meet Leonard Nimoy. He said he’d always really respected his work,” said the source.

(Fortunately for Non-Cruise fans it was just a rumor… I hope! )

If Tom Cruise is in the movie.




I can't even finish that thought, I died inside.

He's a Scientologist. He probably just popped over so he could offer his own (unwelcome) input on what a 'real' spaceship looks like.

Please God...no!

The One Hot Momma has spoken.


And thus there will be no Cruise in Trek?

In case anyone doesn't yet know the confirmed cast can be found here:

Majel Barret and Leonard Nimoy, the words "Tom Cruise" are no longer in the vocabulary of the remaining "old school" members of the Star Trek frahchise ...

Kinda puts the damper on the Spock/Cruise encounter, eh? ...

Spock: You're so illogical

Cruise: You're so glib

Spock: The context in which you are using that word is incorrect.

Cruise: I can fly

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

It could never happen. It should never happen! It must never happen!!!

...give the guy a cameo as a torpedo or something!

"The Klingons are decloaking, Captain!"

"Fire phoTom torpedos! Full spread!"

..about the only use he could serve in ANY movie in my opinion. Excellent Idea Eol!

I would pay money to see that.


Lots of money.
