Just a bit of backstory for those who're unaware: similar to the Christian Bale
Batman movie, Paramount is rebooting the
Star Trek franchise, with
Alias and
Lost creator J. J. Abrams as director (he last helmed
Mission: Impossible 3). Below is a pictorial match-up of the prequel's cast with their original counterparts. Apart from Karl Urban as "Bones", the rest are more or less confirmed for their respective roles.
