Status: offline 		I'm not a trekkie, but I know there's a number of you here, so I thought I'd post this:

Release Date: December 25th, 2008 (wide)

Release Date Notes: (12/15/06) Although this movie was officially announced earlier this year for 2008, there have been some rumors that it may be bounced back a year to 2009. (3/1/08) Previously mentioned as a possibly summer, 2008 release, Paramount has officially announced a release date of Christmas Day, 2008.

(3/1/07) IGN FilmForce recently received a scoop on the word of who might be in top contention to play the top three roles. First up is Matt Damon, who as you can see above has long been rumored. He is now reportedly indeed in talks for the legendary role of James T. Kirk. That leaves the biggest question mark for a long time, Mr. Spock, who may be played by Adrien Brody, Oscar winner for The Pianist. Finally, there's Dr. Bones McCoy, who may be played by Oscar nominee (for 'Forrest Gump') Gary Sinise. Other actors that may be in talks to reprise familiar roles in this prequel are Daniel Dae Kim ('Lost') as Sulu, and James McAvoy, who played Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia, as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. (4/19/07) IGN Movies reported a few weeks back that James McAvoy has shot down the rumor that he is consideration to play Scotty.

Damon's buddy, Ben Affleck, has also been bandied about as possibly playing Spock.

If the choice were between the two, I think Affleck would make a better Kirk than Damon.

Really doesn't matter in the end. Shatner made Kirk & I don't think anyone is going to fill those go-go boots.

Why cant you just let..it ... go!

Seriously, I dont know that anyone else CAN be Kirk or Spock.  Shatner and Nimoy were integral to the characters. The personalities are as much the character as the costumes and the lines. Damon would have to be able to speak like Shatner did to give the character the right charm. I dont know if they cna pull it off, but I do have a morbid curiosuty to go see it now.

I'd say something about gouging my eyes out at this point but....

... Voyager, Enterprise... <sigh>

Paramount execs seem to be determined to squeeze the franchize for all the blood, err.. money they can get out of it, no matter how much they mangle it beyond all recognition.

I refuse to acknowlege anything past DS9.

$0.02,

Dauric.

The Team America movie (Directed by: Trey Parker And Matt Stone) blew it for me when it comes to Matt Damon

I hope they write acting classes into his contract.

On the other hand, if anybody can play an emotionless, unbelievable, wooden, disaffected character, he is certainly in the top five most qualified actors working.

Matt Damon is OLDER than William Shatner was when he played Kirk.

I dunno...

Ewen McGregor was spot on with the Alec Guinesesque Obi-wan Kanobe. His preformance was about the only good thing in the last three Star Wars movies,
