Just about all of the Star Trek characters are now accounted for save Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy. Sure, Pine is still not exactly confirmed as Kirk just yet -- all bets are on, however -- but at least we know offers are on the table.

Karl Urban is Star Trek's Bones?
TrekMovie reports that Karl Urban has been offered the part of Bones for Abrams Star Trek installment.
Karl Urban happens to be a sci fi/fantasy buff, appearing in films ranging from Lord of the Rings (flowing blonde hair) to The Chronicles of Riddick (the most contemporary mullet you've ever seen).
And today TrekMovie.com has confirmed with a source that Urban is now in talks for the role of Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy, the role originally played by DeForest Kelley. According to the source the deal is not certain and Urban’s schedule seems to be an issue with a film currently shooting and another in pre-production.
The casting of an actor of Urban’s caliber is a sign that this film is more than just about Kirk and Spock.
Now all we have to do is wait. If you were to place Urban's mug up against DeForest Kelley's, you'd be shocked ot see how much they look alike.
Good fit? Good fit.
Oh and Paramount, feel free to step in anytime with a confirmation.
Update: AICN reports that Urban is "pretty much a done deal."
