'Beneath You'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
He is not, on past evidence, the sort of showy actor one might imagine stepping into Montalban's shoes as Khan, a villain so theatrical that he might have been ripped straight from the pages of an Ian Fleming novel.
Ha! Batmanuel laughs in the face of this misappraisal! ::swishes cape and exits dramatically while talking on his cell phone::
I'm more amused by the notion that Nestor "Batmanuel!" Carbonell is ... not, on past evidence, the sort of showy actor one might imagine stepping into Montalban's shoes as Khan, a villain so theatrical that he might have been ripped straight from the pages of an Ian Fleming novel.
Oh, totally, but I think the author got the Heroes thing wrong which makes most of that aricle suspect.

You have to let it ring first. Always got to hear that ring.
Karl Urban was not in Heroes.
And that guy's never seen The Tick, Suddenly Susan, or even Nestor's emotionally wrenched (if clichéd) turn on Cold Case. Why is he speaking?
Just because the writer hasn't watched Carbonell in anything doesn't make him unknown. He's not big, but he's not new.
And if JJ hasn't been signed for Trek 2, why is it even an article?
Quinto was on Heroes, Urban was on Pathfinder.
Ahh, that's what I get for not reading the whole sentance.

I think he was saying that they should cast an unknown instead of NC.
Lack of reading comprehension on my part. I'm guessing, then, that the known that this author has for NC is pretty recent.
The number one reason I'd think Batmanuel would get cast in the next Trek is because he was on Lost. (I think he's got plenty of drama to play a more, you know, normal Khan.)
Karl Urban (whose Eomer in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was over half a decade ago)
My god, half a decade ago!
hahaha. I thought the same thing.
