Zoe Saldana To Play Lieutenant Uhura In The Next Star Trek
Last mentioned around these parts regarding her birthday festivities in Las Vegas, Zoe Saldana has also been busy on her day job. She recently finished up work in “Vantage Point” (It’s about the assassination of the president) and is currently on the set of James Cameron’s sci-fi flick “Avatar.” It looks like Zoe Saldana will keep her head above the clouds for her next role when she tackles the part of Lieutenant Uhura in the next Star Trek movie, the 11th in the series.
Uhura, commonly known as the black chick in the original Star Trek, was the chief communications officer, so there will be lots of spinning around from a control board, one hand on her earpiece, ‘Captain.. we have something here!’
Of course Uhura was also known for her mini-skirt action. If not Zoe’s acting, how she looks in that skirt is oh so important.
Uhura was originally played by Nichelle Nichols.
It was the late 60’s when Star Trek first aired. She was so fine and captivating men are still bowing down.
Watch out. Classic material below.
Zoe’s got big shoes to fill. 
She aint thick enough..
Or thandie newton!!
Do black women have to be half white to get sexy rolls? How insulting. She ain’t Uhura.
Nichelle Nichols is the only Uhura for me.
The 1960s Uhura is one of the goddesses of Sci-Fi.
Zoe has a long way to go in matching that!
I love Zoe but she’s not thick enough. That role should have gone to a sister anyway.
OPED, UNFORTUNATELY THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YES, THEY DO HAVE TO BE HALF WHITE. SHE AIN’T NO UHURA, YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
Meagan Good’s Prized Movie Role = Aaliyah’s Life Story
Dennis Haysbert for President!.. At Least, Obama’s VP
They shoulda got Lark Vorhees from Saved By The Bell to do it
