I think the idea is good of basically redoing everything. I can see Matt as Kirk. If he would do it, I think he could make it work well.

That's a great casting choice, I hope Abrams can get him.

 

[Polomontana]

I agree and Cillian Murphy for Spock.

Maybe someone can imageshack Cillian as Spock.

Edit: Scratch the Cillian idea because he's too short. Nimoy is 6'1 and Cillian is 5'9. Matt and Shatner are very clos in height, 5'10 and 5'9 1/2 respectively.

Please no.

PLEASE NO.

I don't understand the notion of casting someone who's 36 to play the "younger version" of a character made famous by an actor who started playing him when he was 35.

Their supposed to be in Starfleet academy? Isnt' that like space college? Get a frigging 20 year old.

Shawn Ashmore is a name actor who doesn't look nearly as dissimilar from Shatner as Matt Damon and could pass for college age.

In addition of course to being a fellow Canadian to Bill.

This movie will FLOP.

The mainstream audience, the general public, DO NOT WANT TO WATCH STAR TREK. How many times?!

 

[Hunter Rider]

This only works if BeAff is Spock

 

[Joker]

I'd watch a movie that reunited the original Star Trek cast, but I have no interest at all in other actors playing those roles

Why the fck would they Nolanize the original "Star Trek" TV Series?

There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with it. There is no need for a reboot.

There is only one Kirk: William Shatner. Only one Spock: Leonard Nimoy.

 

[U.S War Machine]

Shawn Ashmore

kinda young don't ya think

 

[Ronny Shade]

Ashmore would make a bad kirk.





Somebody catch me up. .....WTF? They're remaking Start Trek?!?!?!

 

[Ronny Shade]

*sees other thread*


nevermind

 

[Immortalfire]

Won't work. Star Trek is about going forward, exploring what we can be. Not where we came from. Star Trek and prequel, not good.

 

[Ronny Shade]

When you make a movie that's as god-awful as Nemesis, what choice do you have?

They're remaking EVERYTHING.

[ProductionMusic]

Interesting

 

[Joker]

yeah, they're not "nolanizing" (which is still a really stupid term, by the way) anything, it's a prequel...

 

[Ronny Shade]

lol "nolanize"

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Nothing personal against Star Trek, but seriously....

STAR TREK, JUST **** OFF.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Well I agree with that unfourtantley its got a huge fanbase that will embrace whatever spin off Paramount gives them next TV or Movies

 

[BATFREDDIE]

JJ Abrams can make anything golden. He even managed to make a good Mission Impossible sequel. I say give him the benifet of the doubt.
