From iwatchstuff, The Sunday Mirror reports James McAvoy has been cast as Scotty in JJ Abrams' new Star Trek prequel. The rumor has been circulating for awhile now, but this is the first time it's been confirmed. I don't really know anything about this James McAvoy guy, but I still say they should've gone with my idea: digging up the original Scotty's corpse and moving him around like a puppet. You know, put sunglasses on him Weekend At Bernie's style. Academy Awards here we come!

Here's what I like about Scotty. My friends A&J pointed out a key bit of dialogue from the first Trek movie, which goes something like this:
Kirk: How you doin', Scotty?
Scotty: Oh, I had a wee bout, Captain.
Kirk: A wee bout of what?
McCoy: (sardonically) Shore leave.
Taking this at face value, Scotty basically parties until he has to go to the hospital. I love that. I mean, we all adore that crew, but they are kind of a bunch of stiffs. Good to see one of them getting out.
