Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,

Earlier this week we reported some big casting news for the upcoming Star Trek film.  Actors John Cho and Simon Pegg were recently chosen for the roles of Sulu and Scotty, respectively.

Now we have word that two more actors have been lined up for the highly-anticipated Enterprise prequel.  Chris Pine, who was recently seen in Just My Luck, has snagged the role of James T.

Production on the J.J. Abrams film should begin before the end of the year.
