Michael Lee's Train of Thought

I mean, Zacary Quinto as Spock? Awesome. But if the stories that Simon "Shaun of the Dead" Pegg is Scotty are true, this is all sorts of coolness. Simon's the real deal -- and he's One Of Us in the best sense, so I'm very optimistic about the movie. And Scotty is exactly the sort of role (especially if it's just one step up from a cameo) where casting someone with the geek cred that Simon Pegg has is ideal, especially if Kirk is mostly unknown.

And if it is in Variety, it's almost certainly true.
