Erik Davis from Cinematical asks the right question.  "Oh man, I'd love to know how you Trekkies feel about this one."

Apparently Tom Cruise is eager to make that cameo.  Of course, like with most stuff circulating the net, some top secret insider told Canada's TV Guide magazine that Cruise "didn't even need to be begged to appear in it."

That's right, Mr. Scientology himself is, not surprisingly, a huge fan of the sci-fi franchise. Imagine that.

Meanwhile, Abrams is currently auditioning actors for the roles of a young Scotty and young Bones in the film, according to reports.
