In an interview with Entertainment Weekly comedian Ricky Gervais (Extras) talked about being picky about the projects he takes, he revealed that director J.J. Abrams approached him about a role in the new Star Trek film and he turned down the role. He didn't reveal what role he was approached for but TrekMovie have speculated that it was Scotty, which went to Simon Pegg.
"I was never a big fan, so I would've felt guilty taking the part just to be in a blockbuster. To what? Boost my profile? [...] I'm not trying to be a film star. I don't care if I never do another film again. I can create my own material and I've got to remember that. As exciting as it is to be a film star, it means nothing to me." he said.
The full interview is here.

As Chris Doohan notes about Gervais, "At 46, he would have been way too old to play Scotty". Gervais is 9 years older than Simon Pegg.
The Star Trek XI Blog speculates that Gervais was offered a cameo role.
