Karl Urban is going to be the new Dr. McCoy? Karl Urban?

Yeah, that's the one big casting WTF for the new Star Trek. Nothing wrong with Urban, great actor, but physically bears little resemblance to the original McCoy. He's much broader, for one thing, and the head shape doesn't match.

(Maybe since he's the Doctor, they could pass it off as regeneration?)

The guy from Heroes that they cast as the young Spock, on the other hand, PERFECT choice!

I don't know a whole heck of a lot about what the new film is supposed to be, but I can see the personality connect.

i KNOW. It's going to be awesome. Every time I see Karl Urban I see him as Cupid in Hercules.... now that takes me back. This movie is going to be a riot.

I can see it. I can actually see and hear him in my mind's eye, talking like Bones ...

Uh...

Yeah.

Right there with you on that one. Though, he probably did a good job on the audition. (EG, very in character)
