Rumours they may be, but I have to say that the latest casting gossip for Star Trek XI is looking superb. Imagine these names lined up to play Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Sulu. Stop for a moment, have a look, and realise just how good these guys look for the roles.

Now the warning goes out once again that these should be read with a handful of salt, as usual the story comes from a site and an unnamed source, so they just might not be true at all, and yet when I look at them I think they could well do it.

Matt Damon, as we heard, is confirmed by this source as being in talks for James T. Kirk, and well ahead in the negotiations.

Adrien Brody is in talks to play Spock. Now when you look at him you can start to see it.

Gary Sinise is said to be in talks for the role of McCoy or Bones, another excellent choice where you can see some likeness.

Finally the source talking to IGN says that Daniel Dae Kim is possibility for the role of Sulu, although these negotiations are far from being started.

Then there's the rumour of James McAvoy for Scotty which we heard a little while ago.

I actually think this line up could really work, they do carry a certain similarity to the original characters, and they are all good actors in their own right. Still, would some of these want to be associated with such a huge franchise? Damon, Sinese and Kim are used to franchise/series but Brody isn't.

What do you think of the cast list then? Sounding good? I think I really would like this lot to go through, although on that list Damon is the weakest choice for me.

Nobody is commenting on the rumours at the moment. What do you think of that possible line up for the new Star Trek?
