Tom
Cruise Set For Star
Trek?
Tom
Cruise
is rumoured to be
starring in the latest
Star Trek movie - as Mr
Spock.
The
11th film in the Star
Trek series is set to be
a prequel to the
original 60s television
series and will feature
Captain Kirk and Mr
Spock in their early
years.
Film-maker
JJ Abrams, the brains
behind hit TV series,
Lost, will produce and
direct the movie which
is set for a release
date of 2008.
Tom
Cruise's involvement in
the project has not been
confirmed and the fact
that he recently parted
ways with the film's
backers, Paramount adds
further
uncertainty.
However,
there is little doubt of
Tom Cruise's pulling
power and Paramount
bosses are keen to
revive the flagging
franchise.
The
tenth Star Trek film,
Nemesis, which was
released three years
ago, flopped at the box
office.
