News & rumors: Alternate timelines / Uhura 
Quote: "Actress Zoe Saldana (Haven) has reportedly been offered the role of USS Enterprise communications officer Lieutenant Uhura in JJ Abrams' "Star Trek" movie. [via IGN] According to TrekMovie, "the deal is not yet final and one outstanding issue may be related to her schedule starring in the James Cameron sci-fi mega movie 'Avatar' which is still in production. Sources indicate that 'Avatar' will be doing location shooting starting in October and 'Star Trek' is slated to start shooting in November." The site points out that Saldana has a connection to J.J. Abrams "as she was in two episodes in the recent ABC series 'Six Degrees' produced by Abrams and fellow 'Star Trek' producer Bryan Burk." Meanwhile, AICN claims that the plot for the new "Trek" film deals with alternate timelines. A group of Romulans will reportedly go back in time to kill off James T. Kirk, and the elder Spock must do what he can to prevent that incident and change the timelines back." (from http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=5620&count;=0)
