John Cho to play Sulu

Harry Mok - October 12, 2007

Yes, I am a Star Trek fan. I'll admit it publicly (stop giggling). So, I was curious as to who would be chosen to take the part George Takei [1] originated. I would imagine every male Asian actor in Hollywood was fishing for the part.

The plot for the movie is a closely held secret, but it will be a prequel revolving around the early days of Kirk, Spock and the rest of the Star Trek crew.

I hope they portray the early Capt. Sulu [2] as a strong leader he eventually becomes rather than the more meek, sidekick-type of Harry Kim [3] (Garrett Wang [4]) from the Star Trek: Voyager TV series.

Look for Cho as well in Harold and Kumar 2 [5], maybe my second most anticipated movie of 2008.
