Captain, the second wave of posters from the Star Trek reboot has hit off the starboard thrusters, and this time it's Bones, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov. Hmm...ok. Simon Pegg seems bizarrely unrecogizable at Montgomery Scott here (despite the hairline), and Anton Yelchin and Karl Urban look quite like their original counterparts. But, while I dig Harold as much as the next guy, the distinctively Korean-American John Cho seems a somewhat lazy and distracting choice for Hikaru Sulu. Couldn't they find anyone of Japanese lineage, or did they just expect us not to notice?
