Some really intersting casting choices that J.J. is making for Star Trek





Bruce Greenwood is Capt. Christopher Pike


Rachel Nichols is unconfirmed but likely as Yeoman Janice Rand


and the arguably bizarre casting of Winona Ryder (36) as Spock's mother, Amanda


---

So I guess they are going to do some, hopefully, realistic aging on her.
Spock's mother??? Is this going to be a flashback to Spock's early childhood? I sure hope so.

Got this from AICN.
Zach Quinto - Sylar from Heroes - is playing Spock.
