Lust in Space

We all knew that James T. Kirk was a hunk back in the day, but who knew that young Doc McCoy was such a hottie? Maybe they should subtitle this next Star Trek movie The Sexy Generation.

Paramount not only has confirmed the rumors that Chris Pine will sit in the captain's chair once occupied by William Shatner, they have also announced that Karl Urban will don the tricorder of ol' "Bones", the role originated by the late DeForest Kelley. Urban is no stranger to sprawling fantasy epics, having appeared as Eomer in two of the Lord of the Rings films.

The two join the two Spocks (Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy) and the rest of the new crew, plus Eric Bana as the resident bad guy, in J.J. Abrams' reboot of the long-running franchise, due next year at Christmastime.
