Harold & Kumar's
John Cho are boarding
J.J. Abrams'
Star Trek feature in the roles of engineering wizard/Romulan-ale enthusiast Montgomery Scott and Lt. Hikaru Sulu, says the
Reporter. They join other future
Enterprisers Zachary Quinto (as Spock), Zoe Saldana (Uhura) and Anton Yelchin (Chekov), while
Eric Bana has been tapped to play the villain.

Chris Pine is in talks to play young Kirk.
Just My Luck, indeed.
