Oh, My!! JJ's Mr. Sulu Is...

Merrick here...


JJ Abrams has found Enterprise shipdriver Hikaru Sulu. It's John Cho, of HAROLD AND KUMAR (he's Harold). This per HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.

He's done some other work since then, and we'll be seeing him soon in the H&K sequel.

Kumar (Kal Penn) was present in Bryan Singer's SUPERMAN RETURNS, but found all of his dialogue cut from the film. Hopefully Cho won't meet the same fate.

Word is an announcement regarding McCoy may be coming really soon; should be interesting. I say it's Shia LaBeouf! He's GOTTA make his way into this project somehow, right?
