I kid you not. She's been cast in the new Star Trek prequel movie to portray Amanda Grayson the mother of our favorite Vulcan-Human hybrid Spock.

If she's playing Amanda, it's probably in a short flashback scene, dealing with Spock 's childhood.

This sounds like a bit of stunt casting...

I'm more excited to hear that Bruce Greenwood was cast to play Captain Pike! He's a great character actor, and he does look a lot like Jeffrey Hunter.

Most of the cast are relatively unknowns, but Having Bruce Greenwood (iRobot, Eight Below), Eric Bana (Blackhawk Down), Zachary Quinto (Heroes), Karl Urban (Bourne Supremacy), and Rachel Nichols (The Inside) in the movie, gives it some acting cred. I'm starting to feel optimistic about this!
