Everyone seems to be running with the Crowe idea right now and I guess the movie needs at least one A-list actor to headline. Quinto might be a geek A lister, but not a name for the mass audience. Maybe there's going to be a big name for Kirk and they want both to headline? As a fan, I'm not wild about Crowe. I just don't like him as a person or him as an actor. Overrated, self involved and makes pretty crappy movies.
My best guess is casting will come out very slowly. Spock was July-ish, Chekov was August, Uhura was September...I'm guessing Sulu, Scotty and Bones will finish up the year. Maybe a design of the Enterprise in January. Abrams and Paramount will want to make a splash with the Kirk actor. I'm guessing comic-con next year (July). But the other question then becomes how you keep it secret if filming starts this fall.

God, I sound like such a geek.
