Oh, my. Also funny, but for different reasons:

On the heels of Paramount's confirmation that J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III, Lost) had been selected to direct the next Star Trek feature, reports began circulating on several movie and sci-fi websites Monday that the studio was in talks with Matt Damon, Adrien Brody, and Gary Sinise to play the roles of Capt. Kirk, Dr. Spock and Dr. McCoy respectively. First reported by IGN Movies, a unit of Fox Interactive, and attributed to unnamed studio sources, the stories also indicated that James McAvoy, who costarred in The Last King of Scotland, was "in the mix" to play the role of Enterprise engineer Scotty.

Adrien Brody? Spock? Now I want to see Adam Brody play Spock.

Good lord, I can hear the wank from here.

I'm not sure I'd be able to consider that an actual Star Trek movie, but it sounds pretty entertaining, and full of eye candy.

I've long thought that both Sinise and Andy Serkis bear striking resemblances to DeForest Kelley, so that could be cool. I know Gary can do curmudgeonly exasperation well in a vaguely countrified manner.

Late to the party, but let me put in a vote for Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down as my favorite Almodovar.

I saw Starter For 10 yesterday. Frothy but loads of fun. My new crush, James McAvoy is a working class Essex kid who goes off to Bristol University, propelled by his love for quiz shows, and University Challenge in particular. I don't want to say any more, but it is romantic and well-acted and smart and funny and a lovely way to while away an afternoon.

That sounds right up my street. I loved him in Last King of Scotland.

He has an amazing scene where he is talking casually about his father's death when he was a kid and is trying to appear cool and and suddenly his eyes well up with unexpected tears. It's so real and vulnerable and just KILLED me.

James McAvoy! Usually I'm not into fey young men type, but he's lovely. I think I caught him first in the Children of Dune miniseries, but I recall being pleasantly surprised at how charismatic he was in the modernized Macbeth that aired in BBC a couple of years ago.

I've seen the trailer for Starter for 10, and it looked v. good. The brunette love interest was played by the actress who played Boden's wife from The Prestige, if I recall.

Oh! That's good to know. The trailer made it seem like a total flashback to a vintage John Hughes movie (with a British twist) which could mean loads of fun or totally skipable.
