Trekkie chick, large breasts, miniature waist...this is not logical. A clear violation of the laws of physiques.

Wynona Ryder as Amanda Grayson?!

*pushes the PANIC! button*

...That's got to be a joke. The only thing she was ever good in was Beetlejuice!

Nein, its official...

She'd better give a career performance, or the next time she faces a jury for shoplifting, I'm starting a petition recommending the death penalty.

Oof. Just more proof that this is the parallel universe. Next thing you know they'll announce it's being made as a musical being directed by Joel Schumacher.

Great. Amanda's only six years older than Spock.

I'm getting the feeling more and more that I really should miss seeing this movie.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Heathers fan, myself. Likewise Edward Scissorhands. But I did think Girl, Interrupted was overrated. And even were I the world's biggest Winona Ryder fan, I don't think I'd approve of her playing Amanda.

IMO, those movies were good in spite of her... Well, maybe that's too harsh. It might be more accurate to say those movies were good around her, and she was there when they happened.

It's true that she was out-acted by her male costars in both of those. (I read recently that she was considered for what became the Christina Ricci role in Sleepy Hollow, and aside from being delighted they didn't choose her because she'd've been all wrong for it, I think it would've been uncomfortable on the set, and the movie would've suffered--I'm not sure if you know, but she and Johnny Depp were engaged back around the time of Edward Scissorhands.)

Which may have been a contributing reason why she didn't get the part.

ADDED: They better have a darn good Sarek, then. But based on their other casting choices, I'm not hopeful.

I'm half expecting to see Scotty defending Engineering from invading Romulans with a cricket bat while "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now" is blaring from the intercom...

Or "Nero", the villain-cause-they-say-so, turning into a bad green CGI effect.

Nero. Probably be the lamest ST antagonist since Shinbone or whoever from Nemesis.

The funny thing is, thinking on it, Amanda would probably have made a killer role for Demi Moore...

However, this also depends on which time period we're talking about here... Ryder would be fine if we're talking about Spock doing childhood flashbacks (or even in his teens, when he put his foot down about joining Starfleet...)

More warmed-over reuse of old ideas! Yay! </sarcasm>

Just like a Animated Series episode where Spock goes back via the GOF and talks to himself.
