IGN Movies cites studio sources;<br /><br />Series reboot like Batman Begins.<br /><br />Filming starts this summer.<br /><br />Release Christmas 2008.<br /><br />Director: J. J. Abrams (Alias, Lost etc.)<br /><br />Casting (offered or in talks):<br /><br />Capt. James T. Kirk: Matt Damon<br />Science Officer Spock: Adrien Brody<br />Dr. Leonard McCoy: Gary Sinise<br />Engineer Montgomery Scott: James McAvoy<br />Helmsman Hikaru Sulu: Daniel Dae Kim<br /><br />Poster....<br /><br />All but Kim are very experienced actors. He's won a Screen Actors Guild awaed for his role in "Lost" and played Corporal Chang on Enterprise. <br /><br />Damon has suprised me in numerous action & dramatic roles.<br /><br />Brody can be intense as hell. In my mind Spock also requires someone with an distinctive facial structure & is tall and lanky. Brody has those being 6' 1" and "unusual" looking in spades.<br /><br />Sinese is likewise an excellent actor who could do McCoy with intensity. <br /><br />McAvoy has the advantage of being a real Scot and an excellent actor.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Hmm<br /><br />I could kind of see Sinise doing McCoy. <br /><br /> (you know I have an autograph of DeForest)<br /><br />I'm excited and skeptical of this movie all at once.<br />

Kevin OReilly should be played by Steve Buscemi. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Yeah, Matt Damon isn't nearly gay or dumb enough to play Kirk. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />

Matt Damon has solid gay credentials. He had sex (more than once) with Eric Cartman on South Park.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Yeah, the Ray Liotta resemblence is really amazing. Seems like a Christopher Pike/Star Trek movie would be a no brainer. Correct all the mistakes from Star Trek: Enterprise in a feature length film . . . . <br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

That's a promising cast, although I'm unsure about Damon playing Kirk. <br /><br />Lost was well directed, so Abrams should do fine, although Christopher Nolan would be my favorite for the job. Or, better yet, Tarantino! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>***</p> </div>

going backwards is probably better than forwards for more star trek movies; maybe they should get Michael Creighton to make up a star trek movie?

Two castings I can't get rumors on; Uhuru and Rand.<br /><br />I guess Rand could be any chesty/leggy blonde, but Uhuru is a key member of the cast. <br /><br />Just as long as it isn't Halle Berry <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<b><font color="yellow">mattblack said;<br /><br />And guys, its spelled 'Uhura'.</font></b><br /><br />Yes, but Uhura comes from the Swahili word Uhuru, which means "freedom" plus Uhura is not normally a Kenyan girl's name. She was Kenyan. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="yellow"> That's a promising cast, although I'm unsure about Damon playing Kirk. </font><br /><br /> I'm watching The Bourne Supremacy on TNT right now, Matt Damon will make an excellent Capt Kirk. He's intense as can be & he can fight very well too. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#993300"><span class="body"><font size="2" color="#3366ff"><div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.

I think that Damon might play Kirk better than Bill Shatner did.<br /><br />He was fantastic in the <i>Bourne</i> movies, in my opinion.

Damon is a fine actor and is good with fight scenes. However, not to be overlooked; I don't think he's as good-looking as the young Bill Shatner. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>
