According to Scottish tabloid The Sunday Mail, Last King Of Scotland
star James McAvoy is set to play Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the
upcoming Star Trek XI prequel to be produced by J.J. Abrams.
According to the site, Paramount Pictures said: "We are very excited
about the film. Casting is in the early stages - we cannot comment on
any names yet."
But an insider revealed: "The producers are keen to have a Scottish
Scotty and James is the No.1 choice."
"They think he could form a brilliant double act with Matt [Damon].
James' star is on the rise after The Last King of Scotland. He's
Scottish and has box office appeal so he fulfils both criteria."

Agreed. In fact, how old is Damon now? roughly the same as Shatner was when
he took the role?

He's three years older. If he were going to be cast as Kirk
in the same time frame it would work fine (especially since
the odds of it leading to a 20-year career playing Kirk are
pretty slime), but not if it's supposed to be a younger Kirk.
From my point of view, what would be more important
would be to not end up with Affleck as Spock.

Ouch, that should be "pretty slim." Freudian slip, maybe.

I have to say, McAvoy's Scottish accent is almost as natural as Doohan's.
Actually, I just saw "The Last King of Scotland" last night. Forest Whitaker
has been getting all the press, but McAvoy is excellent as well.
Of course, if McAvoy does get the role, that means well probably be seeing
Mr. Scott making love to Lt. Uhura.

I feel Adrien Brody would make a GREAT Spock
