Pon Farr, Pon Schmarr!! Learn Who Plays Spock’s Hot Mom in STAR TREK!!
I am – Hercules!!
Wyatt
Ryder
Winona Ryder will play Amanda Grayson, human wife of Vulcanian ambassador Sarek!!
The role was previously held by the almost-as-hot gentile Jane Wyatt on TV and in the movies.
Variety identifies Spock's mom as a Vulcan, which is almost certainly a colossal factual fuckup.
Read all of Variety’s story on the matter here.

I hope they aren't shooting within 100 yards of a Saks Fifth Ave. Store..those pesky restraining orders can be a bitch when on a location shot.
-
And she's hot. So good.
-
Or is that never was?
-
was sarek a pedophile in the original series too? I'm no trekkie so I don't know.
-
PLEASE GOD! Who's the fucking caterer, for shit's sake?!?
-
Remember...Vulcans age well. Just like the recent birthday girl Winona has. I wonder how large this role will be...
-
She ain't a Vulcan, she's human.
-
What happened to "MILF Alert"?
-
Well, ten years ago at least it would have been.
-
That's how they're explaining how young Spock's mom is, right? I should read that article before commenting. Stupid need for me to be near the top of the list!
-
You know it makes sense.
-
Why does it feature a photo of Winona's mom?
-
This must be some strange new definition of the word "hot" that I wasn't previously aware of.
-
Winona was in the fourth "Alien," now she's in the 11th "Trek." Maybe now she could get cast in "Babylon 6"? Or "Capricorn Two"? Or "Saturn 4"?
-
Cause that nutcase will snatch it if she gets the chance....
-
Winona = Top 20 Most Beautiful Women. Maybe Top 10 if we can get a nude pic to check out.
-
But you were correct, in any case. hee
-
I'd let her steal my pants.
-
Well I hope she doesn't steal the show hardy har har
-
He shilled for Mars bars, Mars is in outer space, space is the final frontier... Can't you see how it all ties together, MAN?!?
-
they should have really kept this a secret.
-
Kirk would hit that.
-
Kids today ask too many questions.
-
If every little bit of Star Trek news is going to make news, i cant wait to hear what Karl Urban orders from the catering van next month.
-
and does he share it out?
-

-
"Dammit! I wanted a Dr Pepper, not a Mr. Pibb!"
-
Sorry for the last post.
-
But does anyone have a fucking clue as to a plot for this mess? So far all we really know is that it has a cast straight out of My High School Musical or the O.C. with a kleptomaniac and a model thrown in for good measure. Where is the meat on these bony "scoops"?
-
Sure why not? She made a dumbass mistake a while ago and has kept a low profile ever since (in contrast to the little dipshits who are currently crashing and burning). She has talent and it's good to see her back.
-
This is the only explanation I can think of. I thought Pegg would be the only strange casting choice but then came Urban followed by Greenwood (good actor but completely the wrong age) and now Winona Ryder as Spock's mom? Um right.I can just imagine JJ sitting there at the casting session with a big spliff in his mouth whilst flicking through a magazine and pointing at random pictures. Who is going to be next? Hell, let's have Eddie Murphy as Khan. Why not?
-
This movie is gonna suck.
-
there will be a musical number on the holodeck at 2200 hours.
-
And it's not Ryder, cupcake.

I'll grant you she is hot ... but seriously, What The Hell?
by valin kenobi
IAmMrMonkey's theory probably comes closer to the mark than we realize.
-
Not THE shit. Just shit.
-
I mean, it's only logical
-
Seriously.
-
She was in that Christina Ricci movie with Cher, right? The one that wasn't actually about mermaids?
-
Wasn't that a Star Trek episode?
-
Isn't JJ Abrams a WGA member? I could swear he was a screenwriter.
-
Because there is no fucking way this movie will be considered canon.
-
However, J.J.'s Superman script did fuck with everything in the lore as we know it... in a bad way.
-
The five that saw the last movie? And...FYI...bitch about this reboot all you want but I guarantee you this: if this flops, you will never. ever. ever. ever. EVER see another Star Trek movie get made. Wrap your mind around that truth.
-
I mean seriously. How much screen time is Spock's mom going to have in a movie with so many character introductions (not to mention the plot)?
-
that I don't care about all this Star Trek business. Sure I'll see the movie, but stop bothering me with this nonsense.
-
I think you should send him DAILY updates on this Star Trek movie just to piss him off!Tee hee hee!
-
So I guess this makes sense.
-
I'll give it five years before Paramount gives it another go in the movie stakes. I mean, only Fox know how to fuck up franchises more comprehensively than these guys. When was the last GREAT Trek movie? Much as I enjoyed 5, I'd have to say 4 - Voyage Home. Since then, nothing much to write home about. Yeah, including FIRST CONTACT, which was watchable, but not classic.
This has to be seen for sheer car-crash movie value. Pathfinder for McCoy, Shaun of the Dead for Scotty, fucking Sylar for Spock, the hottest Heather (Veronica Sawyer!!!) for Spock's Mom, who-the-fuck? for Kirk, old fart Greenwood for Pike - only Eric Bana as the villain piques my interest. This is going to Live Free and Suck Hard!!!! -
May as well fuck up two franchises in one go!
-
Harold (but no Kumar!!) for Sulu, You-stole-my-boat!-POTC-chick for Uhura...
My head hurts. Make it stop. The strike has only been ongoing for a couple of days, and already the once-cool-news is just warmed over second-hand shit... -
MI3 was actually okay... Granted, you didn't get involved with LOST S3 much, but it still ruled...
Then you decided to go fuck up the TREK franchise.
Why, you motherfucker, WHYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?
Go play with your giant-monster-movie-that-no-one-gives-a-fuck-about-because-it-aint-Voltron-or-Cthulhu-and-it-SHOULD'VE-FUCKING-BEEN-CTHULHU!!!-movie, 'cos I no longer give a fuck about your career. Which should have zero effect on you, but frees me up to think about how shit DOCTOR WHO SEASON 4 will be in the UK.
Damn you, JJ Abrams. Just... Damn you.
PS Was JJ Abrams that kid who played young Tom Hanks in BIG? 'Cos he fucking looks like him... -
JJ's doing a celebrity cast-stuffing the likes of which have been unseen since Battle of the Network Stars.
They've ANNOUNCED that they've CAST Spock's mom?
Oy Vey!
Although it's nice to finally get some Jewish Representation back (Kirk and Spock being both members of the tribe), So far my beloved Winona Horowitz is the only one cast (Yes, I know JJ is too)
Anyhoo..he's casting up every silly little Star Trek Role.
-
plan....B.
"Whats emergency landing plan B?"
B as in...bullshit! Bollocks!
"....he can't be serious!" -
or plastic surgery has advanced a lot.
-
Unless she's shown in flashback
-
Winona is what, in her thirties? That would put any children at age, oh, 12 or 13, tops, unless she had kids when she was 14 or so. And I wouldn't call Winona "hot." She's cute, but not hot.
-
As Kirk's grandfather. Ian McKellan as McCoy's teenage son. Natalie Portman as Pike's mother. Miley Cyrus as Kirk's mom.

Don't be so sure she's human and the vulcan thing's a mistake
by filmcoyote
Abrams' has said he's rebooting this as if it's a whole new thing, revisionist elements are likely.
-
...Scotty'll know to look in Mrs. Sarek's purse!
-
I love Ryder same as the next guy but c'mon too many big stars.
-
At least if the pic that's up at darkhorizons.com is any indication. It shows Winona as a VULCAN. Now maybe the pic has been doctored or maybe it's from another movie (anyone know?), but Spock's mom (as Herc notes) is HUMAN not VULCAN. Therefore, she CANNOT have pointy ears and the arched eyebrows.Unless she's trying to "pass." ;)If the pic is right and she's a Vulcan, I'd bet she's T'Pring, not Amanda Grayson. Hell, maybe she's T'Pau, but Amanda Grayson was not a Vulcan.
-
This is turning into a bigger joke than the latest seasons of "24". Will she be a mole, too?
-
That should cast Stone Cold Steve Austin as Khan, and make Khan and Kirk nemeses from the Academy.
-
You know, since Spock is going back in time to stop the timeline from getting diluted, could it not be possible that when he returns to his own time that somehow, through his minglings, Old Kirk is now alive? That would give the fans their dosage of Shat, and surely not get in the way of the plot of the film. We wouldn't really need an explanation, it would be kind of like a butterfly effect from the ripple itself. Just a thought.
-
Scarlett Johannsen is hot. Megan Fox is hot.
Winona Ryder? Cute, but not hot.
-
They've got an article on this that semi-addresses the Vulcan mom thing: http://tinyurl.com/342jgd. And the picture on there is pretty nice - you forget what a rack she's got with some of these other pics.
-
This is coming together nicely; I was never a Star Trek fan, but I'm definitely digging the cast...

Angela Lansbury was only 1 Year Older than Lawernce Harvey
by ogreishere
Yet she was able to play his mom in the Manchurian Candidate to perfection. So I am not worried about the age issue.
-
Nov 09, 2007 8:58:57 AM CST
Ah, so the Vulcans nick her for stealing a hyperhandbag...
by stalin vs predator
...and that's how she meets Mr Spockier?
-
- that of vacant, non-starter Winona Ryder. Mmm. Can't agree there, dude. But, hey, it's good that you're staying positive.
-
Given Abrams is gonna fuck Star Trek canon six ways to Sunday with his alternate dimension clusterfuck of a story.
-

This movie is going to make Nemesis look like First Contact.
by lordenigma
Seriously... JJ and Co... you really need to shut the fuck up.
-
It merely offered POSSIBILITIES. All of which SUCKED, by the way. Spock's mom is HUMAN. Period. Abrams fucking with this is as bad (or worse) than the Supes travesty.Hercules, can someone from this site NOT get in touch with Abrams to confirm or deny the VULCAN mother portion of this story 'cause I am getting fucking HEATED? NOW PLEASE? Gonna have a fucking coronary if not. I don't give a fuck whether Ryder's in it or not, but I DO care if he's fucking Amanda Grayson's bad ass up.I mean, otherwise, Abrams turns up at the opening of a can of fucking corn on this site, but for something of this import, he's nowhere to be found? C'mon.
-
I'll help hold the motherfucker down. This shit is OUT-FUCKING-RAGEOUS! I needs some motherfucking answers NOW!
-
Now, Spocky, don't you defy your father and run away to join Starfleet, you rebellious teen, you.
I'm still predicting JarJar Abrams will cast Keri Russell, probably as the over-30 admiral who gives Jimbo Kirk a pat on the head when he and his Starfleet High School gang do some Kobayashi on the rival high school of Romulans. -
It's over, Jim, it's dead.
-
Won't that sound nice coming from some tween actor who has no sense of irony OR continuity?
-
JJ will revamp the concept, doing a "reimagining" of Mr. Deeds, starring Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder. In this version, Adam Sandler is a Star Fleet cadet with a short temper who inherits a starship.
Wackiness ensues.
John Turturro is his butler. -
back in the nineties she was the unstoppable queen of the alternative-her and Janeane Garofalo. Then, I dunno, Winona turned kinda of mental-she doesnt come off as a strong person for some reason. She's go this vibe when you watch her that you want to take care of her her-not in a sexual way though,like a "baby chick" kinda way. That sounds weird....any way shes been trying to revive her career for years and it aint happening....we'll have to recall the glory days of Heathers. As for Janeane-the exact opposite. She comes off like she would bite yer head off if you didnt say hello to her...plus shes too thin and reopey...and has too many tattoos. I prefered my old, slightly plump, quirky Janeane to the hardcore political doll you get today....Its friday, Im bored and Im rambling....I dont even care about Star Trek like.
-
With Beetlejuice, Scissorhands, Scanner Darkly, Dracula, Alien, she's done a surprising number of big budget-ish scifi/fantasy type flicks. I fully support geeks doing geek movies.
-
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw
-
on retail
-
anyone?
-
i know its been done, but I will pretend i got it first.
-
Shoplifter I'd Like to Receive a Five Finger Discount From.
Reweaourwrrhh! -
But, does anyone think she's going to have a big role in the movie? Spock's moms screen time up until this point has totaled what, about 5 minutes?
-
in the Variety picture.
-
How can she be Spock's mommy and look so young? She's not Vulcan. I mean, I would buy advanced plastic surgery (as it would be in the future)... er. Um. Hmmm. She's a pretty good actress. I don't feel the need to hurl insults at her, she's gone through the justice system and it's had it way with her. Whatever. Maybe they'll artificially age her. Erm. There seems to be some odd casting choices with regards to this movie. I can withold final judgment though until I see the picture.
-
Antonio Banderas. You know it's true.
-
Ron Jeremy?
-
I guess she will have to be a Vulcan if we're to believe she is Spock's mom.
-
the hell was that.
-
Something else we can agree on.
-
Winona Ryder can't act!? I despise talkbackers who bash the acting abilities of established actors for pure shock value.
-
Sarek takes a look at Winona and says to himself, "Logically, I've gotta tap that ass. Like, now."
-
Where Bones walks into Kirk's quarters, and Kirk is zipping up his pants while Janice Rand is standing up abruptly, wiping her mouth with her hand."Aw, dammit, Jim. Can't you keep your pecker in your pants long enough for us to get out of spacedock?"
-
Yeah, and then Kirk says, "Space is a cold and lonely place, Bones. But there's plenty here to go around." At which point Janice assumes the position, whilest chummy Starfleet grads Kirk and McCoy beam their lovesauce into all ports of her spacedock.
-
He has green Vulcan blood. If his mom is human shouldn't he have like, brownish blood?
-
so this appears to be the one of the few threads where the WHITE SCREEN OF DOOM doesn't pop up on me.
-
Yes, I caught a glimpse of it. I saw that part I mentioned above, and another where a mischievous Kirk experiments with a transporter to beam himself into man-warrior position behind a nude supine akimbo Winona. That's right--Kirk seduces Spock's mom. I mean, if you can call blunt force trauma "seduction." By the way, I'm sending Natalie Portman over to your place when she's done waxing my car.
-
Don't know if you guys saw this on the other TB about the "glimpse" of the new Enterprise uniforms, but here it is, an exclusive look at the new cast on the bridge, and in uniform:
http://tinyurl.com/32jjb3 -
That was not bad, not bad at all.
-
I love the star track movies..I think it's cool that Winona Ryder is playing a klingon. Does anyone know if she will have a ray gun? She was in Aliens and had one, I believe.
-
I wonder what will happen? I liked the one where they went back in time to fight the giant whales. I believe they vanished them into thin air and flew back to their planet towards the end.
-
Please have some hotties play Chapel and Rand...cause young Uhura and Winona aren't making me feel the heat down below...and the Karl Urban casting was so a mistake...I'm gonna be thinking Eomer the entire time McCoy is on screen.
-
I wonder if MechaGodzilla fights the giant robot in "Cloverville"? I heard it's a robot from Mars and he distributes little robots to do his bidding. And most of the robots can fly and/or shoot fire. That's why all those NY types are flippin' their wigs. Gonna be sweet, I bet
-
There's only one actor who could fill the shoes of the late, great Mark Lenerd. Only one actor who be come off being as cold and emotionless as a true, full-blooded Vulcan can be:
Adrian Brody. -
Seriously...Star Trek was scripted by crap-meisters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, kings of bland, silly action, no-character cinema. The film will suck, no matter who stars in it because it's rotten at the source. The Island? Crapfest Transformers? Etc...I rest my case.
-
Yahoo may be rehashing incorrect information as it directly quotes the Variety article.This casting decision makes me way more angry than the previous ones, and they made me really angry. If she is to play a Vulcan, then JJ is really the asshole that I think he is. Spock's entire character stems from the fact that he's constantly at odds with himself. A Human/Vulcan hybrid who grew up with Vulcans but lives with Humans. That's what makes Spock cool.On the other hand, Winona has been on my spank list since Lucas, and seeing her in a Star Trek movie is like a geeky wet dream come true. Dammnit, I am totally conflicted on this one.
-
Then again it would be cool if she was cast as the green chick (from TOS). At least she'd be scantily clad. And would suffer asphyxiation followed by being blown up.
-
Yum. One ticket please.
-
What the fuck? She's the human one, isn't she? She's the one whose youth can't be explained by alien DNA, right? How old is she now, 40-ish? Quintos has got to be in his mid 30s. At least Sean Connery LOOKED old enough to be Harrison Ford's dad even though they were just six years apart. Oh wait, maybe they're just not going to put make-up on Ryder. Poor girl hasn't been living right after all. What's Abrams smoking, and is it nice? Disappointing as Superman Returns was, I really think we dodged a bigger bullet when Abrams's script wasn't used.
-
...to finally give in to my advances. Thanks for NOTHING, J.J. Abrams!!! >:O
-
The casting so far is making me cringe. I don't mind Wynona and I think she's hot, but Spock's mom? You've got to be kidding. When Kirk and Spock are visiting the Sareks Wynona is going to be there handing out the sandwiches? I'd rather see her cast as a the Orion Slave Dancer. That would be better casting; Wynona slithering around in green paint... that's making the voices go away.

If they cast Paris Hilton as T'Pring, I'm definitely not going.
by kabong
Are they doing this movie as an Austin Powers spoof?
-
Winona's got a Vulcan beaver.....
-
Which one of you guys was it that said "Keep Christian Slater away from this thing!"? You were so right, whomever you were. And Winona Hasbeen is almost as bad.
-
This one anyway. NO, NOT MINE!
-
Just when i thought the freaky little klepto was just desperate and needy enough to be within the grasp of the hardcore porn business...some half assed director goes and throws her a life preserver...not that grabbing onto a movie that is already pissing off 90% of its target audience a month into filming is gonna keep you afloat for very long.
-
C'mon, who's with me? Never give up! Never surrender!

I'd settle for a Galaxy Fraulein Yuna sequel at this point.
by justyhakubi
I weep for the future.
-
A little bit of heart and soul.
It was a dream she had on a scheme he had, told in a foreign land. To take life on Earth to the second birth, and the man was in command. It was a flight on the wings of a young girl's dreams, that flew too far awaaaaaaaaa-haaaaay --
Don't push too far, your dreams are CHINA IN YOUR HAND!!!
So. Who will Carol Decker and Ron Rogers play then?!?!? -
I know you're gonna do it, Fred. Deep down I know you're gonna save my life.
That WAS Justin Long as the kid with the blueprints to the Galaxy Quest ship, wasn't it?
