The casting of the 11th Star Trek movie is coming together, and J.J Abrams has already found his Spock. And now it looks like he's found his Checkov with the casting of Russian-born Anton Yelchin. Yelchin will play a younger Checkov in the new movie, and no word if the original Checkov Walter Koenig will be in the movie as the older version of Checkov. Casting is on-going in New York and London for the remaining spots of Kirk, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, and Scotty.
