Karl Urban Confirmed as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy!

Written by Stephanie Sanchez

You heard it here first last week, about Karl Urban’s involvement in JJ Abrams' magical mystery trek through the stars, now AICN is also confirming the story, Karl Urban will play Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy.

It’s funny how the internet works, a couple of weeks ago the IESB broke the news that Karl Urban had been offered a role in Star Trek. At that time, we had been told that it was for the villain. Last week, we broke the news that it was indeed for the role of Dr. McCoy, funny thing is another website posted our news a few hours later claiming that they had broken the story. Well, I guess that is how this business works.

Well, it’s not worth crying over spilled milk, I will save my tears for another day. Again, we are still awaiting an official “trade announcement” from either Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, but dammit Jim I'm an entertainment news site not a trade publication and Karl Urban will be Dr. McCoy!



And here's the AICN article they're referring to:

He's Cast, Jim!! McCoy, Leonard H (Son Of David) Will Be Played By...

Merrick here...


...KARL URBAN.

You may've seen him in THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, THE LORD OF THE RINGS (THE TWO TOWERS & RETURN OF THE KING), playing opposite The Rock in DOOM, or as the lead in PATHFINDER.

We heard RUMORS ABOUT THIS last week. Now, one of my main dudes tells us Urban-"Bones" is "pretty much a done deal".

It'll be odd seeing Mr. Dark&Hunky-Action-Man playing a laid-back, peaceful country doctor. Presuming, of course, the character is patterned after DeForest Kelley's phenominal approach.


Huh - it better be, because it wouldn't make sense otherwise, would it? And those of us who have seen Karl in The Price of Milk know that he can play other roles than Mr. Dark&Hunky-Action-Man. :)

I must admit, when I first saw him mention as being in talks for Bones, I lifed my eyebrow quite Spock-like - he wouldn't have striked (struck?) me as a candidate for that role... Wait and see! :)
