Paramount Casts New James T. Kirk
Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that Paramount is in talks with 27-year old actor Chris Pine to play the role of Captain Kirk in the new 'Star Trek' film. Pine is almost completely unknown, but he's also being courted to star opposite George Clooney in 'White Jazz,' so he's being called "the hottest new actor in town." In addition, 'Hulk' actor Eric Bana was cast today as Nero, the main villain of Trek XI."
Now. He has to learn. To talk. Like this.
Chris Pine? That's one letter away from Chris Pike! Coincidence? I don't think so!
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
The guy is so good at acting, he only needs a blinking light to convey his emotions.
Ummm, didn't they say they wanted a 27 year old Kirk? Come on, I think Shatner is closer to 127... His youth has already boldly gone!

Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!
UTF-8: There and Back Again
All I can say is, after his performance in 'Hulk', hearing about Eric Bana being cast in anything makes me cringe. Unless he's being cast in to a pit of boiling lava.
They were going to cast Keano Reeves as Spock, but found during auditions that he doesn't have the range of emotions required for the role.
...you insensitive clod!
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
not to mention expensive wide-angle optics needed to get all his potbelly in the frame
Let's hope we never have the chance to put your theory to the test. Star Trek XV: Captain Wesley Crusher, now in command of the USS Voyager, spends a week-long holiday on Risa. Nothing much happens, but there are lots of nude scenes.
Now. He has to learn. To talk. Like this.
Well... Sure! HE - can - ACT...BUT!
The REAL question IS...
can he SING?
Picture yourself. In a boat. On a river.
With Tan-gerine dreams, and MARMALADE skies!
Somebody -- calls you... you anssswerrr quuuiiitee sllllowwwwllllyyyy,
A GIRL! with kalEIIIIDOscope eyes...
Bow-ties are cool.
His youth has already baldly gone!
Fixed that for you...
Blank until
There's an ENTERPRISE rent-a-car on Pike Street.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
...clitorus-foreheaded space-aliens...
Geez, some guys can't even find it in the dictionary!
(But I'll give you credit, that's a funny term!)
I thought the Hulk's alter ego was Bruce Bana.
