QUOTE (Raven @ Mar 9 2007, 11:23 PM) Solution? Reboot the show and start over with a new Kirk, Spock and McCoy. They've taken the same approach with Batman and Superman etc, why should Trek be immune?  I agree - but I guess it's a little different in that Batman and Superman and Bond and so on existed outside the realm of cinema so whenever they were portrayed by an actor, it was someone filling in the shoes of a well-known character - regardless of the legacy they left. With Star Trek, Kirk has always been Shatner and Nimoy has always been Spock, so the association with these actors is probably stronger. But Hollywood have not been doing bad at big franchise casting of late, so fingers crossed... |

QUOTE (thirtyhelens @ Jul 25 2007, 01:54 PM) That would be...yes. Yes. Never thought about him before, but now I can't unthink him being Spock. I hope the same can be said for whoever gets to be Kirk - that's a toughie. |

According to rumours being reported on the SFX web site, it won't be Matt Damon (as has been previously rumoured!).

Spock, the misogynistic computer nerd/telekinetic head-slicer?

Cruise to Make Cameo.
I hope this is media guff, but given Abrams has worked with Cruise, who knows . . . |

It does a disservice to cameos to announce them ahead of time and play them up.
That said, the presence of Cruise could indicate that Kirk, Spock, and company could be headed for a fateful showdown with Xenu... Now that would make a good film! |

James McAvoy to play Scotty?
And Russell Crowe a villian. It could be true, but the same article also tips Robbie Williams to play Kirk . . . |

QUOTE (Raven @ Aug 21 2007, 10:10 AM) This one's been rumbling about since the project was announced; Jimmy Mac's been quite coy about it but indicated he wouldn't turn down an offer, being a massive Trekkie. I don't think it's official yet tho. |

Well, he's meant to be playing Captain Pike, which means we might see him bleepy and boxed. Now that would be entertaining. I realise it wouldn't quite fit into the timeline of the series, but I'd find it quite amusing. This post has been edited by maian: Aug 21 2007, 06:16 PM |
