Rachel in new Star Trek Film?


Looks like Rachel may have snagged her self a role in the upcoming Star Trek film. This source seems to imply she's been cast.
Rachel will be playing 'Orion', apparently one of James Kirk's love interests.

A sex scene with Rachel? I can live with that!
More information about Rachel Nichol's role in J.J. Abrams’ ‘Star Trek’. She plays an Orion, not that her name is Orion. The confusion comes from her being listed as 'Orion'.

Orion (Star Trek) - Wikipedia
Orions are a green-skinned, alien species in the Star Trek universe.

Vina (Susan Oliver) takes the form of an Orion slave girl in the original Star Trek pilot "The Cage", although she wasn't identified as such in the pilot until the footage is used again in "The Menagerie". Marta (Yvonne Craig) was a green-skinned seductive woman in "Whom Gods Destroy" but her species was not identified. Orion slave girls appear again in the franchise in the Enterprise episode "Borderland", and the episode "Bound" revolves around a trio of Orion slave girls. Orion slave girls are mentioned in dialog in episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, including "For the Uniform" and "Waltz".

Orion females are in particularly high demand as consorts and entertainment. Dialog in "The Menagerie" describes the Orion slave girls as "vicious, seductive" and that "they say no human male can resist them." The plot of "Bound" reveals that their seductive prowess stems in large part from the pheromones they release. These pheromones also have an incapacitating effect on males of most other species (Vulcans at least are immune). Orion women are known for their wiles and sexual appetites. An illusory Orion slave girl was one of the very first aliens to be seen in Star Trek when one appeared in the first Trek pilot episode, "The Cage".

Orion slave girls are "vicious, seductive" and "they say no human male can resist them." That sounds like Rachel could be showing us some "green skin". Hmm, Hulk likes girl! :D
