Simon Pegg to play Scotty in new Star Trek film

Sci Fi Wire is reporting, that Variety is reporting, that Simon Pegg will play Scotty in J.J.Abram's new Star Trek film. The Peggster in Star Trek! Not sure how that will work for me, he's done so much funny stuff in the past that I tend to laugh when I see him, regardless of what he is doing.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if he will be playing it straight.
