• The role of Kirk could have gone to Mike Vogel.
• Sidney Tamiia Poitier auditioned for the role of Uhura.
• The full name of the character Uhura had never been revealed before. However, there were at least three unofficial versions of her name: "Niyota", "(U)Penda", and "Samara". The creators of the new "Star Trek" chose the first option, and in the film, the heroine played by Zoe Saldana is named Uhura Niyota.
• According to J.J. Abrams, there were only two candidates for the role of the main villain Nero: Eric Bana and Russell Crowe. Eric Bana ultimately played Nero.
• Josh Lucas was considered for the role of Captain Christopher Pike.
• Kirk could also have been played by Joshua Jackson.
• Christopher Doohan, the son of James Doohan, who played Scotty in the original film, appears in one of the episodes of the movie.
• According to Chris Pine, he didn't want to look like a cheap imitation of William Shatner, who played Kirk in the original film, so he came up with his own acting style based on the behavior of two characters played by Harrison Ford, Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
• The scenes of the ship's interior (huge rooms with a tangle of pipes and tanks) were filmed at a Budweiser brewery. All these tanks contained Bud Light.
• On the last day of filming as old Spock, Leonard Nimoy broke his nose, and the entire crew immediately stopped filming and offered to postpone it until the next day, but Nimoy refused and insisted on continuing – he had been waiting for this day, and it was very important to him emotionally.
• The car Kirk rides in as a child is a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette StingRay.
• The full name of the character Uhura had never been revealed before. However, there were at least three unofficial versions of her name: “Niyota,” “(U)Penda,” and “Samara.” The creators of the new “Star Trek” chose the first option, and in the film, the character played by Zoe Saldana is named Uhura Niyota.
