 Meet the Aliens and the Monsters at Majestic Cinema!
Monsters:
Reese Witherspoon as Susan Murphy, aka Ginormica: A young woman from
Modesto, California who is hit by a radioactive meteor on her wedding
day, causing her to mutate and grow to a height of 49 feet 11.5 inches
(15.23 m).
Seth Rogen as B.O.B. (Bicarbonate Ostylezene Benzoate): An
indestructible gelatinous mass created when a genetically-altered tomato
was injected with a chemically-altered ranch dessert topping.
Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D: A brilliant but mad scientist
who, in an experiment to imbue himself with the longevity and abilities
of a cockroach, ending up with a giant cockroach's head but gained the
ability to climb up walls and high resistance to physical damage.
Will Arnett as The Missing Link: A 20,000-year-old fish-ape hybrid
who was found frozen and thawed out by scientists, only to escape and
wreak havoc at his old lagoon habitat.
Conrad Vernon as Insectosaurus: Formerly a 1 inch (25 mm) grub
transformed by nuclear radiation into a 350 feet (110 m) monster with
the ability to shoot silk out of his nose.
Aliens:
Rainn Wilson as Gallaxhar: An evil alien overlord who hopes to take
over Earth.
Amy Poehler as Gallaxhar's Computer, a smooth-operating,
user-friendly computer that follows his orders, albeit with a sarcastic
tone.
Meet the Star Trek Crew at
Liberty Cinema!
Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. Pine was so struck by how Shatner's
performance was characterized by humor but opted to incorporate elements
of Tom Cruise from 'Top Gun' and Harrison Ford's portrayals of 'Indiana
Jones' and 'Han Solo'.
Zachary Quinto as Spock. Quinto expressed interest in the role
because of the duality of Spock's half-human, half Vulcan heritage, and
how "he is constantly exploring that notion of how to evolve in a
responsible way and how to evolve in a respectful way. I think those are
all things that we as a society, and certainly the world, could
implement."
Leonard Nimoy reprises his role as the elder Spock (referred to in
the ending credits as Spock Prime), who has come from the future.
Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Like Pine, Urban said of
taking on the role that "it is a case of not doing some sort of
facsimile or carbon copy, but really taking the very essence of what
DeForest Kelley has done and honouring that and bringing something new
to the table".
Zoe Saldaña as Nyota Uhura. Abrams had liked her work and requested
that she play the role. "For an actor, that's all you need, that's all
you want.
To get the acknowledgment and respect from your peers," she said.
Simon Pegg as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. Pegg was the only actor who
did not audition: Abrams just sent him an e-mail asking if he wanted to
play the part.
John Cho as Hikaru Sulu.
Eric Bana as Captain Nero, the film's time-travelling Romulan
villain. |
