Will Tom Cruise have a role in the new Star Trek movie? There was a buzz about it because Tom visited the set.
“Tom visited the set of the movie and chatted with J.J. Abrams,” a source close to the actor said. The last time Cruise was spotted on a set for a movie he wasn’t said to be signed on for — “Tropic Thunder” — it turned out he had a small role. Unfortunately for Cruise fans, the visit to the “Star Trek” set was just a social call — Cruise and Abrams are friends, and apparently, Cruise is a fan of the television series and in particular, Dr. Spock.
“He asked J.J. if there’s a way he can meet Leonard Nimoy. He said he’d always really respected his work,” said the source.
Okay, so I guess that’s a no. Darn. I would have liked Tom Cruise in Star Trek. Maybe it would actually get me to go see it. LOL!
